|
|
| I recently was dating someone who had been in a abusive relationship prior to the one we had, and have a hard time understanding why she was so confused. The effects from her past relationship interfered with the one we were working on, and had been going well but fell apart. I guess she has issues with feelings for a guy in her past who treated her like shit and was still getting strung along by the effects of his games. |

One must deal with it and heal from it in order to move on to a healthy relationship. This takes time. Perhaps she did not give herself the time she needed to go through the process in order to move ahead into a new relationship.
Abusive relationships are emotionally destructive and until a person sheds all the negative feelings from such a relationship there is no hope for a new one to survive. |

All I can say is RUN and I mean RUN, Don’t even look back!
To me, women who had been in abusive relationships are damaged goods. Especially, if she's coming from an abusive father, abusive boyfriends etc.
At some point she will think you're just like the others (even though you're not). She will think you're trying to control her etc. She will get defensive, bitter etc.
DO yourself a favor, RUN... |

A girl with such a past will require a lot more effort from your part to have a good relationship with, but if you love her enough you should be able to make it work. _________________ Chemistry and Numbers: The Online Dating Guide |
