I left an abusive relationship when I was 20. I'm 30 now & I've never had another serious relationships, just flings. I've actually posted on here about it wondering why I've never been able to meet someone, but after another thread about abusive men I wonder if this is what stops me, a subconscious fear of ending up with someone like him again. It's like I sabotage myself by only seeing people where there can't be a real future together.
Has anyone else experienced this? And overcome it?
