In this episode of Your Southern Lesbian with host Ashley Hydrick, we’re asking: what if you’re not done with dating—you’re done with abandoning yourself to stay connected?

Ashley shares 7 things she’s no longer tolerating in lesbian relationships, including overgiving, people-pleasing, confusing anxiety for chemistry, accepting disrespect, and romanticizing delay. She also talks about emotional regulation, stopping negative thought spirals, and rebuilding self-trust through consistency.

If you’ve ever stayed silent to be “easy” or waited to be chosen—this one’s for you.

What are you done with this year?
