View submission: My boyfriend says I’m privileged

View parent comment

I’m more surprised OP needed to take the Reddit to ask advice about this.

Really, your partner, the person who should be your comfort and cheerleader is telling you you’re “privileged,” repeatedly? Time to find a new one

It's harder to become aware that a relationship is toxic when you're in it. Psychological abuse ruins people's self confidence, which makes it harder for them to put the words "psychological abuse" on what they're living because they're made to not trust their own judgement anymore and to dismiss their feelings. That's why external input is so useful. It's understandable and it's also a very good thing that OP took this to Reddit.

Love is a powerful thing. It can be very hard to recognize a situation you are currently involved in, and having external advise can help clarify the situation for you.
