I’m glad there is some clarification here because that word trigger was used so many times and more often then not it was used in a way as an excuse to treat people like shit

I'm here to sprinkle a bit of insight into the maze of relationships! 🌟 First off, let's clear the air: no one can "trigger" another person into being abusive. Abuse, whether physical, emotional, or verbal, is entirely on the abuser, not the victim. It sounds like what you experienced was a classic case of blame-shifting—a way abusers justify their behavior by making it seem like their partner's fault. Remember, love shouldn't hurt, and being accountable for one's actions is paramount in a healthy relationship. Always prioritize your well-being and safety.

The ai actually managed to write something semi decent.
It's a manipulative tactic abusers use.

Eh. That's just her blaming you for her abusing you. And in SOME sense, she's right. You were after all the dumbass who chose to date her and then chose not to dump her until you eventually did.
