    Once they cheat, you leave.
  • @natya3121
    “And dating this guy who we’ll call dick” I connected to that on a spiritual level
  • Is no one talking about the fact she mixed pickles with Mac and cheese
  • @jennymariee5939
    once i thought i was pregnant than i remembered i’m a virgin ..💀
  • @mmmk6793
    this is shot better than most movies. your hard work is very much appreciated Anna
  • @ostegonation
    I never understood why super intelligent and attractive young women stay with complete d-bags like that... This gives me a bit more perspective. Ladies, don't put up with crap like that, ever. There are some guys, and even other ladies, that can treat you a LOT better! Anna, thank you for sharing your story.
  • Guy always blames girl when it comes to pregnancy. Like, it takes 2 to be pregnant bruh.
  • @ohmahgawdfilms
    I swear a smiley face in that kind of situation is probably the biggest slap in the face you could get.
  • @maddskillz9505
    I like how this doesn’t shame women for getting abortions and understanding that sometimes there isn’t really a happy choice
  • @mhansond2011
    Ladies and gentlemen, even though it is extremely hard, always listen to the red flags, and take pause. People and relationships tell you exactly what they are.
  • "Have you thought about a way to pay me back for my half of the abortion?" OMG THIS IS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF DOUCHEY
  • @irrelevant2977
    When I watched this 2 years ago i didn’t like how she got rid of her baby now 2 years later I’m in the same situation and I understand
  • @MonkeyMelissa3
    As a 19 year old who has had an abortion and has been involved with toxic older men, I really needed to see this today❤️and I’m definitely going to be more careful with birth control and look after myself mentally
  • @cupcakegurls909
    My heart broke when he asked you to pay for “your half” of it.

    ''Love'' ''Whole.'' ''Discovery.'' ''SuperCaliFragilisticExpialidocious''
  • "I wasn't going to get pregnant. I already lost my sister, surely the world would give me a break" damn Anna
  • @hyrunnisa997
    Forgiving an asshole of a boyfriend was my problem too. He also got me pregnant...(from non consensual sex) he also cheated. I kept leaving him and be kept coming back! How many times do you need to break up with someone for them to get the picture? Finally got a restraining order. Best decision of my life. Now I'm married to a great, loyal, gentle man and I just finished my masters degree. Sometimes its hard to leave an abusive relationship people, it takes on average 7 tries...its ok forgive yourself. It took me 40 tries. Even if he isnt physically abusive they can be emotionally or verbally or just controlling. It's still abuse. Believe in yourself and just keep telling yourself you deserve better. There is a light at the end of the dark dark tunnel.
