Cognitive dissonance nbf

You're unhealthy bc you need time space and distance before you heal. You're currently in denial bc you don't want to believe things are the way they are.

Looking back, before I moved out, and this was something I knew for months it was over but I needed him to not know or I'd be homeless, oh man. Do I continue giving him sex and feel like a piece of me is dying each time by knowingly letting this man I loathe have me in the most intimate way or just say no? How much can I avoid without putting myself in a precarious position?

Know this: sometimes we get by and we survive by doing things we don't want to bc we have to. I didn't want to live with him or sleep with him or anything with him. But I didn't have much choice. I avoided sex for awhile but it became an issue. Fights happened and I've never given him makeup sex but he kept trying! I would say no I can't do it. Sometimes I drunk enough to just view it as just sex but I couldn't enjoy it.

You need to do what you have to be safe.
