    a) I was talking about the specific situation OP described, not any abusive/bad relationship ever

    b) If it was abusive that would likely have made it violent (psychological violence is violence)

    c) “Voluntary” as in they could choose to leave without threat to their safety/wellbeing, not “oh boy I wholeheartedly desire this.”

    You were voluntarily (not-involuntarily-forced-into) being oppressed and decided to stop volunteering for it (use the freedom that was already there: to leave without facing violence)

    It’s not like immigrants can just “break up” with ICE


    Edit: Removed “voluntary” because it could be construed as “consented to” and not “free to choose without constraint/threat” like I meant it

    On a serious note, if you are in a healthy relationship, you should feel comfortable telling your partner(s) when you aren’t interested in doing something they want you to do. Boundaries and communication are important
