I remember my husband-then-boyfriend being super happy he could just ask me to do stuff and I'd do it. I mean, yeah, of course, that's how relationships work?

Took me a long time to figure out that for most of his previous relationship, that really wasn't so obvious.

That's pretty much my story as well. Early into the first healthy relationship I was in, my gf stopped by my work to drop me off a donut. Just happened to be shopping nearby and thought of me.

That shit was outright mindblowing to me at the time considering I had a negative sense of self worth. Guess it still is to an extent, but I don't get the overwhelming "oh God oh fuck I don't deserve this" feeling I used to.

How do you go from husband to boyfriend without breaking up?
