There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn’t feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

Meaning of the quote

Sometimes, when a relationship is not good, it can make you feel really bad about yourself. You might start to doubt all the good things you used to think about yourself, and you might not even be able to look at yourself in the mirror anymore. This can happen because a bad relationship can really change how you see yourself and make you forget how nice of a person you are.
