Oftentimes, you don’t realise how much you’ve swept under the rug until you experience true health in a relationship or friendship. Maybe it was constant criticism disguised as “jokes,” emotional unavailability that felt like the best you were ever going to get, or small patterns of manipulation you didn’t even recognise at the time. Nevertheless, when you finally find a friend, partner, or loved one who treats you with respect, care, and consistency, it can feel like discovering an entirely new realm of connection.

In today’s episode of 24 Days of Reflection, we dive into those moments of realisation and ask: what’s something you experienced in unhealthy relationships that you thought was completely normal until you found a better partner/friend?
