Feeling a bit sorry for myself, again. Stil awaiting divorce after a very abusive relationship.

But feel lonely, im not ready, but would love to think i could one day enjoy a kind relationship again.

Has this happened to you? How did hou trust? Is it efen possible?

Ok maybe it is possible but the most important relationship you’ll have in life is with yourself.

It is a cliche but use this time to build yourself up.

Classes, exercise, whatever just different circles, different energy.

If you just sit around waiting for rescue, you’ll likely replace your previous husband.

Be your own knight in shining armour. Be Joan of Arc!

Which paper are you writing for)

My ex is serving a long prison sentence he was the only man I had ever fallen in love with yet abused me (physically emotionally and sexually)
Unfortunately I met another man (my estranged husband) who did near enough the same and now refuses to divorce me cos if he hasn't got me no one else will (his words)
Unfortunately I've not been very helpful but I would suggest take time for yourself and to heal from your past otherwise you end up "normalising" abusive behaviour and end up worse off by thinking it's you not these abusive men x

I wish i was writing for a paper. Search my username. I am no troll.

Im sick of rescuing myself pp. But i guess i know i have to. I just cant imagine it. A conversation where im not suspicious about every word that is said.

I was in a physically and mentally abusive relationship from my late teens to my late twenties. The horrible fucker battered me that badly that my parents didn’t recognise me when they came to the hospital to collect me.

I finally got away from him when I was 28 with help from my DSis’s and went back to my DP’s.

Twelve months later I was introduced to my now DH in a nightclub and it was pretty much love at first sight, I just knew he was The One.

We’ve now been together 17 years, married for 14 and have a wonderful DS.

I never, ever thought I would be this happy or settled after what I went through, I truly didn’t. My Ex made me feel absolutely worthless but my DH changed all that.

Have you had any counselling? I found it amazingly helpful in getting back to being me again and went on to meet someone 18 months after separating.

I haven’t had a husband but I was in a 6yr relationship with a guy I lost my virginity to he left me for a girl he met in a club and knew for three weeks because he thought the sun shined out out of her

After he went to prison she cheated on him with her ex
Then he chased me again and I got back with him to spite her tbh

Cut him off about a year later and he chased me for four years after but I was over him completely

He was an abusive asshole
