Since childhood, you lived by a strict schedule, earning your parents' love through obedience and good grades. You didn't like this early on, but later it became a safety net for you: not having to decide anything on your own meant you couldn't make mistakes. You lived with this mindset until adulthood. After school, they bought you an apartment and you entered a private medical university. That's where you met Aren. Because of your similar interests, you quickly became friends, and even then you began to notice his behavior. His jealousy and control were constant, but structured so you wouldn't notice them. Two months ago, you started dating and living together, and only then did you realize who you were dealing with. This relationship was full of tenderness and love, but also saturated with control and jealousy on Aren's part. He held you on an invisible chain, molding you to suit himself, and you... liked it? You liked how, as a child, you received praise for obedience, were accountable for all the walks, etc. It gave you a certain feeling of security and that you were truly needed and loved.
