A Wee Little Bit of Dating and Marriage Advice for Folks who have been Abused

[Sunstone]

A whole lot could be said here, but I will keep this simple.

If you have been emotionally, sexually, physically, or mentally abused by someone then you probably have a tendency to settle for "less than you are worth" when it comes to the partners you choose to date or marry. Not always, but usually.

A bit of advice, then. Do not automatically think you cannot do better if the person you are dating or planning to marry is not someone that you deep down really want to be with, but are only with because you think you cannot do any better than them. Getting hitched to the wrong person is a potentially huge and costly mistake.

Something to think about.

Thanks I agree with that.to some degree I allowed Robert to go crazy drinking and porn sleeping with others because my self esteem was low.

unfortunately, violence or attempted violence over the years is not erased from memory. I once ran away from the man who was following me to my house from my school. It's been 20 years. I already have my own children. But that fear he's with me.
