It’s okay to take a break
I’ve had several friends fall deeply in love with abuse survivors who, once they began dating them, they realized weren’t quite ready for a relationship. It can be so hard to walk away from these situations because, when the person is doing well, the survivor can be an incredible, loving, happy person. But when things are bad, they’re very bad. Not everything needs to be absolute, though. You always have the option to part ways while the individual does more healing on his own. Who knows—maybe he’ll make a great partner for you some day.
