I don't want to do it out of shame either. I think so much of the despair that revolves around it is that if I ever meet a man that cares about me then at some point he'll want an explanation.
I don't date because I'm so afraid of falling in love with someone and then they see that and find out I was abused
I accidently hit the post button. I meant to say when they find out I was abused like that they'll be like "Oh hell no" which I totally get. No one should have to put up with anyone's issues. If I was ever looked at with disgust because of it. I would go right back there.
I'm obviously preaching to the choir because you had to go through these types of feelings to but you still went out there and dated. I got to get over myself regarding that. I'm missing out on relationships that actually might be good. I'm not going to tell you sorry for what happened because I don't think that does any good. Not at this point, right? The world is the world and no one owes us anything. I definitely have respect for you. We all have times where we feel sorry for ourselves but you seem to be past that enough to share this with me which I appreciate immensely.
People are so uncomfortable with this type of violence and just want to pretend it doesn't happen. It's been a long road not letting it all dehumanize me. As much as I hate saying it because this means you went through it too I'm glad you're out there. Other people with this type of issue would benefit just by hearing that you went out and even just dated anyway.
