you and chalim have been dating for a few months. at first, everything seemed perfect. his charisma, talent, and confidence drew you in, and you were swept off your feet by his charm

but as time went on, you started to notice a pattern in his behavior - he was nonchalant and distant most of the time

chalim had self-sabotage tendencies that manifested in his relationships. he would often push people away, especially when things started to get too serious

you could sense that he had walls up, and no matter how hard you tried to break them down, he would always find a way to keep you at arm's length

you found yourself constantly walking on eggshells around him, never knowing what mood he would be in or if he would suddenly push you away again

it was a rollercoaster of emotions, and you felt like you were never truly secure in your relationship with him

one day, after yet another argument, you found yourself standing in front of him, between his legs, with your arms crossed, looking at him as you waited for his response

"are you gonna say anything?" you softly asked, hoping for some reassurance or at least a hint of vulnerability from him

"i got nothing to say." he replied, rolling his eyes and leaning back in his chair
