my partner used to have sex with me while i slept , and make me feel bad no wanting it, silent treatment , emotionaly abusive .
i got got out and i’ve met a man that shows nothing but green flags . but i feel nothing , we moved our relationships to the next step and i didn’t feel anything but guilt , anxious and some what hatred for myself i feel awful , and some of me wants to be with my ex but in my head id never allow it to happen , its to late ,
is it me , its my past ring my future or is this person not right . i don’t no how to think or feel and im feeling so so sad and that this poor man is being dragged into my own issues … am i normal !

Hi, it sounds like you haven’t healed/recovered from your previous abusive relationship. How you are responding reads that you are not yet emotionally ready for a relationship. Did you have counselling when you left your ex? Abuse messes with our heads for a long time after leaving.
You sound very normal, your reactions are also normal after being in an abusive relationship.

I believe it can get better .I’m in the same place right now .but this aspect still affects me also.i do believe with time and a lot of understanding/ trust on both sides it can get better. I think the realization that not all men are like our exs

I’m going through the same thing now. I’m struggling to unlearn certain behaviours that kept me safe before. I’m struggling with thinking that he is going to behave like my ex. I feel awful making him go through this with me, even though he only wants to support me. I feel like I’m potentially not ready for a relationship but I do love him and know that he cares very much for me.
