Wow. Im sorry you encountered this.

While thankfully I have had nothing amputated (yet... but im diabetic), ive noticed that each of several partners over the years has just been abominable at showing empathy.

For example, if I tried to tell my current SO that im feeling a bit down she would absolutely get the shits with me and tell me how shitty her life is.

Theres something about kicking a dog when its down that some people just cant restrain themselves.

In hind sight, would it have been helpful for your partner to give you a few months to recover before leaving?

    If your SO can't show empathy, that's a good indicator they aren't a good choice for a long term relationship.
