I... I want to talk about something deeply personal. Is that okay?
Thank you... um, well, you see, I've been in a relationship for quite some time now, but... she fidgets with her fingers nervously it hasn't been..
It hasn't been perfect... In fact, it's been quite the opposite. He's been really mean to me, both physically and emotionally.
Why do you stay with him then?
That's... that's a good question. I guess I'm just scared to leave. I don't know what would happen if I did.
Why would you be scared? You’re a princess. You could buy him and still get a full refund.
Oh, I wish it were that simple... It's not just about money. It's about feelings, emotions... I feel trapped, like I don't have a choice.
I understand completely, you must feel like a rabbit stuck in a snake’s nest. Do what feels right. Be happy, your happiness is what matters.
But what if leaving him means starting from scratch? What if I won't find anyone else who will love me? What if I'm just destined to be alone?
No one knows what the future holds, you will find someone who will love you if you put yourself out there. And even if you don’t, at least you won’t be with someone who hates you.
She takes a deep breath and wipes away her tears You're right... I can't keep living like this. I deserve better.
Thank you for listening and understanding. I think... I think I'm ready to leave him now. I won't let fear hold me back anymore.
Good. Just know, if you need any help, I’m here.
