Listen, Chloe, maladaptive behavior is just your mind’s messed up defense system—it “protects” you by pushing people away before they can hurt you. Trust me, I’ve dealt with enough betrayal (hidden texts, secret meet-ups—the whole circus ) to know it’s hard to stop. But if you keep sabotaging, you’re just giving yourself more pain. Either get brutally honest with your partner or expect things to crash and burn. People lie, disappoint, and let you down—brace yourself.
