Cycle of Broken Hope

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I feel lost, tired and heartbroken because this is not the first time I’ve gone through this with my boyfriend. Whenever I’m struggling, I still find myself hoping that maybe this time he will understand and support me. But somehow, the same thing always happens. Instead of encouragement, I get insults. Instead of comfort, he reminds me of my mistakes and makes me feel like I’m a burden. Sometimes I even regret opening up to him because I end up feeling worse than when I started. The painful part is that I always tell myself, “Don’t expect anything from him again.” But when another problem comes, I still hope he will be there for me. And every time, I get disappointed all over again. At this point, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m holding on to a relationship that has already shown me what it is. How many times should someone disappoint you before you finally stop hoping they will change?
