nostr:npub1khx67x36rsu5y2f3ruuq8crnxndmep88399l2phu50etnfcrkr6q6hgeyg in retrospect, I do understand the people who care about me who tried to gently warn me about a certain abusive partner I had (thankfully I realised it too and left, but not after suffering some batshit crazy abuse at his hands).

You probably had something else in mind and I apologize for possibly taking the discourse elsewhere, but there are instances in which an open ear to those expressing genuine concern would be warranted.

That said, we all learn from experience.
