If your partner gets upset when you tell them how they hurt you and you wind up apologizing to them for communicating your own needs….. honey, run.

It took me a long time to realize that my ex’s behavior wasn’t acceptable, and even longer to understand it as abusive. Even once I reached that point of awareness, it took additional years to be ready to write about those experiences. I now consider myself a survivor of emotional abuse. This #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth, it’s important that we reflect on the many forms intimate partners violence can take. It’s also worth reflecting on how STI stigma can make us vulnerable to abuse, and how abusers put us at increased risk of contracting an STI.

This weekend I returned to some of my favorite New York spots for the first time since 2019: @henriettahudson, the @the_liar_at_west4th, and the magical West Village Five Guys. Plus I did it with one of my favorite people.

I’ve been thinking about these two passages from @taranajaneen’s new memoir #Unbound and how vocalizing your experiences with trauma can empower and harm you all at once.
