I was in a very abusive relationship for 5 years. I got out of it though 5 years ago. I never recieved any counseling and have been wondering should I? I never really talked about it with anyone. Once it came out in the open it seems like everyone just brushed it under a rug to keep it hush hush. I still am afraid to home by myself and sometimes to even go outside alone. Can it still affect you 5 years after it all ended? I don’t know if I could even receive any counseling for it. Anyone have any ideas.
I ‘don’t know who I would call about receiving counseling though. Just random person from the phonebook. Or our local center for abuse.

I’m 32, I’ve never really dated, and I have a lot of anxiety in social situations. I would like to find a woman to date, and have a romantic relationship with, but at my age, most women are pretty experienced, and I am not. I’m uncomfortable with this, and generally uncomfortable in my own skin.

How can I go about dating at my age when I’ve not done it before and I have so much anxiety?

Are you a man that does not have Asperger’s but is dating a woman that does have it? How is your relationship. I have studied this syndrome a little bit. It looks like either both people have it, but if one of them has it, it tends to be the male and not the female.

What are the psychological reasons behind men who fantasize of their wife being pleased sexually with other men? Lots of talk on risks of actualizing such fantasies it but I’ve not seen any answers that speak to the psychological reasons.

Today my boyfriend was hospitalized again. This time around I hope they actually focus on what the cause of his depression and that is his eating disorder. He has been suffering from it since he was younger and has been in treatment before but has relapsed. My question is what is it that I can do to help him. No matter what I’m supporting him, he’s tried telling me to go, that he doesn’t deserve me, but I know that the man I fell in love with is still there. I’m having some problems coping with this on my own and am in serious need of people to talk to if they have ever dealt with my kind of situation. My sister suffered from bulimia a few years ago so I do know the basics about ED but I’ve never really seen it happen in men and I know it does more frequently than people think, I just need to know from someones perspective how to cope. I don’t want to lose him, I love him more than anything in this world and his being sick is killing me…Help!

Can someone become conditioned to **** the act/thought of falling in love?

falling in love
Ash C asked:


Say someone in love gets hurt really bad and during the height of tension and stress related to the relationship, something bad happens to them internally that wasn’t good (i.e. heart attack, shock, something) but they still lived.

Would such an event make a person conditioned to hating love (the act/thought of falling in love)? Because thinking about love again would remind them of that bad experience/situation, inducing similar mental/physical effects, therefore the brain is conditioned to not like it and run away from it.

What do you think?

Relationships?

I hve trouble forming and maintaining relationships. My family life is fine. We have the occasional argument, and sometimes we are VERY critical and elitist, but all in all I can’t complain. Perfectly functional.

That being said, I feel guilty for complaining… but I have lost almost every close friend I have ever had for no concrete reason. I have also never had a serious romantic relationship with anyone. Since I am away at college now, the loneliness is more striking than ever.

I need to know if anyone has any suggestions about how to handle this situation. It doesn’t seem to be something I can outgrow.
