Posting a photo of herself with Rob taken during their trip to El Nido, Palawan where they officially became a couple, Maxene wrote: “As I painfully remember, I got blackout drunk during this trip and experienced an emotional episode of rage which I projected onto him but had very little recollection of the day after. He explained to me what happened while I sobbed uncontrollably and asked him for forgiveness. At that time, neither of us understood what had happened but it was the first of many unattractive and embarrassing ‘adult tantrums’ that I would later on keep having over the course of our relationship. I would get triggered by the smallest things, explode with repressed emotions, unconsciously project them onto him and sincerely apologize once I’ve calmed down. It turned into a vicious cycle that eventually made me feel so much disgust and disappointment towards myself until I finally took his advice to seek professional help.”

Had it not been for Rob’s “unconditional love” and “seemingly endless patience”, Maxene said that she might still be the “lost, egotistical and traumatized person” that she used to be.

“Because of their unconditional love and support, I was able to find the courage to fight and stand up against my inner demons. No man is an island and I really believe it’s so important for people, especially those with mental health issues, to have a healthy support group,” she added.
