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...

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

He probably could.

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.

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

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

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...

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...

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. ❤️

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...

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...

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...

Do you really think he would hurt my daughter?

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...

Wow, I'm so, so sorry you had to deal with all of that. As a new mom I can only imagine the stress of raising children and dealing with all of your past. I must be very hard. I have my own issues and I don't know if this will help, but I've been listening to a lot of Alan Watt's speeches on...

Omg it's so scary to think someone you love could actually try to kill you. My ex used to joke about killing me. That's why I left.

Wow, you guys are all seriously amazing. Thank you so much for listening to me and for the encouragement. A part of me knows that this relationship is wrong, and another part of me thinks I'm blowing this out of proportion. When I first met my husband he did act like my knight in shining armor...

Thank you for the kind words and I truly hope things are getting better for you. I've gone through depression, too, and I know what a monster that is. Know that I'm praying for you, too. You seem like a kind and thoughtful person. <3

My husband has made it very clear that he is the boss of our marriage. I met him shortly after breaking up with my abusive ex when I was an emotional wreck and he always brings up the fact that he saved me and how much better my life has gotten since I met him. I have a say in some things, but...

I can completely relate to this. One time I went swimming with a male friend and he kept staring at me in my bikini. Later that day we drank and I fell asleep and he started taking off my clothes. I, too, froze and pretended I was asleep. I have no idea why I just did that. Over time, other...

Hello all, Does anyone have a hard time going out alone for something like grabbing lunch or running an errand? It takes me hours to finally get the courage to go out alone. I always feel like someone is staring at me or following me. I've been followed multiple times, stalked, sexually...

H Honestly, I think he very well could be.. especially if he puts you down. Narcissists aren't always physical.

It makes sense. My abusers were both seen as very sweet men. They were well-liked by everyone who didn't know them like I did. Hell, that's why I fell for both of them. However, unlike the father of your baby my current partner will become directly abusive, mainly when he drinks. He would never...

Thank you for your reply. What you said makes perfect sense. I know my body was just responding because I would never in a million years slept with him. I never saw him as a love interest. I really saw him almost as a mentor and brother.. It's just still so confusing. I don't want to be confused...
