He says he trusts me, that he doesn't trust men. He's known buddies from the army that were able to break down good women and eventually get them to sleep with them. I say those women allowed that "door" to be open a crack. I've never been one to allow my mind to consider someone else when I'm...

I guess I'm wondering if he would be abusive in a different relationship. If he were with someone stronger? Or is it the fact that I'm such a pleaser than creates the abusive situation? Do men like this have healthier relationships if they are in a relationship with a woman who doesn't allow...
