    “Everything was fine” as in it was a moment in time where things seemed calm and normal. But I was still carrying a weight inside from suppressing my feelings.

    He had a habit of putting me down in front of our friends and making fun of things I liked just to get a rise out of me. That was something I carried with me for years and had tried to talk about before which resulted in a heated argument as well.

    Knowing the danger he presented when talking about things while driving as one example, I waited until it was a moment I thought would be safe.

    Turns out there was never a safe moment with that guy.
