[A4A] "Give Up Love For Peace Sake" [Frustrated Speaker] [Break Up] [Unsupportive Family] [Low Self Esteem]

WARNING ⚠️: This script contains mentions of body image and self-esteem. If these are triggering topics, please proceed with caution.

"Umm, are you busy?"

...

"I'm sorry to disturb you. I have been trying to find the right time but after hearing you'd like us to spend the holidays with your family... I realized there is no right time."

[Speaker clears their throat]

...

"Yes actually. It is serious... To me at least."

...

"No, please sit down . It's best if we're comfortable. I'll sit on the couch with you."

...

"It does have something to do with your family."

...

"I hope this doesn't come off as rude but I have to tell the truths I am experiencing."

[Speaker took a deep breath]

"We've been together for a year and three months. I'm afraid to say I am starting to lose myself. I flourished with you, I really did. But it's not enough anymore. I feel as if I'm too far gone. I was really happy when you brought up introducing me to your family. I felt great because of how much your family meant to you. That Sunday dinner really started my path of destruction. I saw when their smiles slowly faded when their eyes landed on me. Of course I tried not to read too much into it, but around the table I felt a little targeted. The comments on little things about my physical features. Granted, I was a little uncomfortable and we talked about it..."

...

"Of course I know you said you spoke to them right after... But that's not the point . It never really stopped. "

...

"I mean it got worse for me. I still heard comments and got asked sly questions. 'Are you going to eat that much?' , 'Are you used to not eating at all?"... These are not things I'm used to ... I never watched how much or how little I ate. I just knew I ate when I was hungry. I really started to get hyper aware of everything I did. They commented on everything about me. My hair , my body, my clothes, how I spoke, my interest, my efforts..."

...

"They never did it in your direct presence. I did tell you the first couple of times. I was almost nagging. My self esteem dropped to the pits of hell and I stopped telling you. I got tired... It also never changed anything because they downplayed it when you brought it up. "

[Speaker sniffles]

"I- I don't recognize myself anymore. I was never this self-critical or even this insecure. I was changing my clothes, hesitant to have a meal, meticulously fixing my hair , calculating how much I shared in conversations and how I spoke . That is not me... That is not the me I'm used to."

[Speaker struggled to fight back tears]

"They love you ... Not me. It's clear and I tried not to look at that factor because I have so much love for you and you validated how I felt. But I can't anymore. They took more out of me than you could give. I hate that I have to admit this. I don't want them around me anymore. I know you hold your family in high regard so I never thought of making you choose. I made a choice already... I think we should break up. "

...

[Speaker gets overwhelmed and raises their voice]

"Please. I am not skipping steps!"

...

" It's your family then me. I understand that so I'm taking responsibility for myself. I really don't want to yell. I - I don't want to get too emotional. I'm trying to show you that they are breaking me down. They do not like me . They go out of their way to be nice around you but the moment to leave or turn your back I am targeted. They love you , not me."

...

"Be honest with me ... Were you ever stern when you spoke to them ? Or did you ask them nicely to stop making those comments? There is a difference you know."

...

"I feel it's unfair to say I'm overreacting. Do I look like the same person you met a year ago? "

...

"Even you saw I changed. You even asked about it..."

...

[ Speaker breaks down in tears]

"I am tired. I am drained. I am wholeheartedly finished with trying to ignore and overlook. I see where I am placed on your rankings and I've decided not to make a fuss. I wanted to leave peaceably but I didn't want to leave without a reason. I saw no space for a compromise and to be truthful, I've lost the will to try. I just want to go and heal. I want to get back to myself."

...

"Listen, please don't give me ifs and buts. Please accept the reality. I'm open to being friends... Probably distant ones.

...

"No ... I don't hate you. "

[Speaker sighs and sniffles]

"I just don't want to be here any more."

...

" I still hope you can be stern and serious with your family. They are 2 generations of adults, they should see they are wrong ... I don't wish this on anyone else. "

...

"The I love yous just don't work anymore... I'm struggling to love myself. "

...

"I hate that I had to do this but I had to. I have my bags in the closet ... I was planning on leaving in the morning but I can leave now if you want me t-"

[Listener interrupts]

"As long as I don't make you uncomfortable, I can stay until morning."

...

"I'm really sorry things had to end this way... We just really address our problems separately... For our own good."
