Well...to make matters worse...I work with the person and have to see them frequently. We don’t speak at all because she won’t even make eye contact when we pass by. It’s wild.

I don't think I ever really showed any jealousy towards her. I'm generally very level headed but being ignored has driven me up a wall. We work together too, and she doesn't even look at me. I genuinely don't know what I did wrong. I tried to apologize. No answer. I tried asking what was wrong...

That makes sense when it’s put that way. I’m probably just overreacting. I guess being ignored when Im nothing but caring and sweet to her, but then her liking photos of men is just making me jealous and overthink. I guess I’m not fully over everything like I thought I was

I have a really odd question but I wanted to see what others think of this...the girl I had been dating who has been sexually assaulted broke up with me because she felt she wasn’t ready for a relationship and said that when she gets triggered, if any men try to even talk to her it makes her...

I know exactly what you mean. It’s terrible. One of the worst feelings I’ve ever experienced.

A lot of my frustration comes from the fact that she approached me and initiated all of this, and was super persistent. I understand not being able to date 110%. I can only imagine how hard flashbacks are to deal with, but the way I got pulled into all of this and am now left hanging after I...

I have a question for sufferers. I know this will be a different answer for everyone, but if you logically know that someone did nothing wrong to you, and wouldn’t hurt you, do you still shut them out? The person I’m dealing with has caused so much confusion for me...it went from complete...

My reason for holding on to wanting her to come back is the same as it seems for everyone else is on here sadly...never connected with anyone like her before. She had said the same about me. We just clicked so amazingly well that it almost seemed perfect, and this just all came out of left field...

I’m very torn between giving up and holding on to hope with this situation. On one hand, I feel like I can’t take anymore. I hate to be ignored, it really bothers me. But on the other hand, the last time we talked in person, I was told I’d be contacted when she was ready to talk again. So I...

Exactly. That’s the biggest reason why I feel like I just can’t do this. I wasn’t exactly sure what my own boundaries were initially, but I think being ignored was kinda where I drew the line for myself. It’s just really upsetting.

It's just all unfortunate. Being ignored just makes me feel that I've done something wrong, but I've thought and thought if there's anything I did, and I genuinely can't think of anything. I was wrong about how long it's been. It's been nearly a month since we've had contact. Being that it had...

Unfortunately, I think I’m just going to have to move on myself. I wanted to wait around and see if things could work, but I don’t think I can handle being in a relationship where I’m going to be shut out for weeks at a time. I feel awful for not being able to handle it but I have unmet needs.

Thank you for the replies everyone. This is a very helpful and informative place. All that I know about the trauma, is that it happened fairly recently, and it was a former family member who did it. From what I’ve gathered, getting emotionally close to a male (me) is part of what triggered...

The scary part of all of this for me is the fear of never being contacted by them again. Going weeks without communication is very stressful

Is there a way to private message on this website? I'd be happy to go into greater detail in private!

Thank you for the reply. This is my first time dealing with something like this, and the relationship is/was extremely new, but things were going perfect until they were triggered, and started experiencing flashbacks to the sexual assault. This has been such a confusing and difficult time for me...

I imagine that it's a very common occurnace, especially in the case of the sufferer having experienced a sexual assault, but I wanted to see if this was a common thing or not.
