Romance stories that solely revolve around an MC or LI that has trust issues, so the MC/LI spends the entire story trying to change that.
I get this happens, but the majority of the time, said hurt person uses that as an excuse to string the other person along/or treat them like shit (i.e: silent treatment, leading them on, making them walk on eggshells). It’s just ridiculous. Like if you have that many issues, find a therapist and leave the poor person alone lol.
this is coming from someone with major trust issues & trauma. been single for almost a year while I get help LOL.
Like, it just bugs me bc I would hate doing that to someone.
