I’ve invested years here, and walking away feels like giving up. But staying is slowly draining me. How do you reframe leaving a toxic job as self-respect instead of failure?

You have to do what's right for yourself. If the situation has become untenable, and it's damaging your wellbeing, it's time to get on your way. It wouldn't make sense to frame taking care of yourself as failure when it's obviously a positive move that will improve your life.

Just identify yourself as that champ who walks out yelling "you can't fire me! I quit!"

I felt this at a last job, you have to just take the skills you learned and think about all the new ones you will learn

You’re still allowed to feel proud of what you achieve whilst also walking away to protect yourself

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
