    How Do You Behave In Order To Fit In?

    I have my good days and my bad days. I work as a reporter, so I have to constantly talk to new people all of the time. Sometimes I'm having a bad day and I just feel awkward. I just don't want to be around anyone and I struggle to make a good connections. Most of the time I'm pretty good and I...

    Dom Violence Chokeholds

    Yeah, I think it's a guy thing. He'll play fight with me, too.

    He probably could.

    Dom Violence Chokeholds

    I'm embarrassed to post this, but my husband will sometimes put me in chokeholds when I make a joke he doesn't like or when I push him away from grinding on me while making breakfast or something. He used to do it when I would act erratically from memories of past abuse. Anyways, he doesn't do...

    I'm sorry. It's very frustrating. I know.

    Love My Husband, But Sex Is Challenging

    I think so. I don't completely understand to be honest.

    Love My Husband, But Sex Is Challenging

    Forgive the typos. I'm a bit drunk right now.

    Love My Husband, But Sex Is Challenging

    I'll be honest. I hate sex with my husband. I'm a survivor of rape and sexual assault and abuse. I loved sex with my abusive ex, but I agree sex with my husband. I have five drunk to have sex with him. It feels awful. I feel like I want to get a divorce so he could find someone better. I'm not...

    What Is A Healthy Relationship?

    I just started therapy and I'm wondering what a healthy relationship looks like, too. My husband and I both have had a lot of ups and downs, but he's always been very controlling by nature and after talking to a friend (she's Christian) about submission it kind of made sense to me. I don't think...

    Sexual Assault Drugged And Raped

    Thank you. It's a really hard step, but ultimately I think taking that power and control back is exactly what we need to do. It helps so much. ❤️

    Dom Violence My Husband Is The Boss

    Thanks guys. I'll figure it out. I know this sounds like a dumb thing to say, but I really think my marriage is salvable. I only mentioned the bad things here because I was really upset over something. He's done a lot of good, too. I don't know of many guys who would put up with my panic...

    Sexual Assault Drugged And Raped

    I finally saw a therapist today after many years of repressed memories. It was my first session and we focused on a memory that recently came into light (which pushed me to meet her). It was a very pleasant meeting because she gave me some clarity to what happened the night I was suppose to go...

    Dom Violence My Husband Is The Boss

    I re-read everything you all have said. I'm trying to get it through my head to leave. I really am. I was thinking of all the bad things he's done, but I can't remember a few things he did when I was pregnant for example (I just remember crying all the time and getting into fights), or even a...

    Dom Violence My Husband Is The Boss

    Do you really think he would hurt my daughter?

    Dom Violence My Husband Is The Boss

    That's insane! What a crazy person! I can't believe he actually did that and I'm so glad you woke up and told your mom and called 911. I don't see how hurting someone you care can be called love. I never understood the whole, "If I can't have her/him then no one can" idea. It's insanely stupid...
