Lisa, She has been setting the tone of your communication and relationship for the longest time, and you have obliged because you care. However, your gut...
I have been married for nearly 4 months now to the guy that I started dating in high school 18 years ago. It was a long road, but I thought my happily ever...
I have been with a wonderful woman for 6 years. She was abused at a very young age and for many years there after. She has been dealing with this in therapy...
If you're committed to him, there's only one thing you can do. Support him until he works through all his stuff. But I'll tell you, in all honesty, he has a...
Hello, I am also Bipolar 2 and my partner was abused for many years physically sexually and emotionally when we got together she told me this but she had...
Hi all. Am glad I found this list. My partner (or I should say ex partner now) was the victim of incest as a child. She's done a lot of work with a counselor...
Hello D, I too am also fairly new to this list. As of yet, I have only spoken with one person privately here, and have not shared with the group. I wasn't...
Traci, Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. You're right... the biggest thing that helps me right now is knowing that I'm not alone. I have friends...
One of the amazing things about this list -- and it's still amazing no matter how many times one of us says so -- is how much we have in common regardless of...
Thank you for your response. It's just so hard dealing with his numbness. He doesn't feel the need for physical affection, or at least he thinks he doesn't...
First off, I just want to say how glad I am that this group is here and I can ask questions and get support. The question that keeps going on in my head since...
Hi Dawn...I too would like to extend my gratitude to this group for support. I know I'm not alone or crazy and many times just reading the posts gets me...
I am looking forward to replies from other members to this question also. My partner has also gone this direction. This is after we were engaged, working...
Barb, Thanks so much for your response. That gives me hope. I've only been with my partner since around October of last year. She has given me nothing but...
Barb, I also wanted to comment on the fact that you said your partner at one time wanted to date other people. Mine hasn't said or done that yet, but I know...
Hi all, my name is Stephen. I'm married to a rape/incest survivor and didn't realize so many other people were going through the same thing. Me and my wife are...
Lisa, thank you so much for your reply. I do feel that my bipolor 2 is much better under control with the meds and therapy. She on the other hand has just...
Perhaps I'm asking the wrong group since I'm assuming that most people on this list are on it because they are experiencing problems with their relationships,...
Dawn, I can't say I have a happily ever after yet, but I can say that one year ago I had no hope of my marriage surviving and was not sure how I would survive...
Thanks for your post Mark. I feel like this would be easier for me if I had some kind of commitment from her (like marriage) but I don't. We haven't even been...
Dawn, I hear your frustration. I for one was very happy in my relationship for 4 years. The issues have only cropped up in the past 9 months, and it has been...
Dear Stephen: I am also new to the group although, I have been reading the posts for some time now. Stephen, as I read your post I found myself sincerely...
Traci, Thanks so much for all your feedback. It's been very valuable. And I really needed to be fed yesterday too, so thanks for that link! I can't imagine...
Hi. I haven't posted for a while, but I've checked in ocassionally since I joined in late June, especially when I need to remind myself that I'm not alone in...
S., Thank you for your post. It did help me to read it. I'm glad it helped you to write it too. I have written pages and pages of my muddled thoughts about...
OK. So, I'm really writing a lot here. Sorry. I hope it's not too bothersome. I am just so new to this and could really use all the help I can get. Even if...
As usual, when I read a post here I have a million thoughts, and if I start to answer I just go on. But one thing you said, Dawn, struck home, and it's...
Daniel, Thanks for your response. That makes a lot of sense and helps me see things a little differently. I think I've been having a hard time believing she is...
Hey Daniel, Sorry I never replied. I ended up having an adventure in the form of a 6 week intensive acting class in New York. :) Something I never would have...
