"Stay and apply the 'law of detachment' and thank me later."

@Naledi Amanda🌊 explained:

"It actually gets better, especially if everything you do makes him know that he did bad and that if you wanted to, you could up and leave. @ghracie's lair: No, it doesn't. It keeps messing with your head because you keep thinking you're not enough every day, and when he isn't there, you're wondering if he's with someone else again."
