| I think 30s are difficult for everyone, as most people hook up earlier on and are busy playing house for a while. Some stay together, many divorce in their 40s+. So the dating market opens up a bit later on. At least it seems that way among the people I meet - lots of them 'panic married' for the w... |

| My wife says she loves me but we live like two strangers in a house. Sex is a long-distant memory, intimacy doesn't exist. But we don't fight, we get along, we are friends, we have a comfortable life so why do I feel so lonely? Not really sure what anybody can say I guess I have to put up and shut ... |

| This.... When I hear about others’ experiences, it’s so easy to put the blame solely and squarely where it really belongs and to not make any rationalizations or excuses whatsoever, but when it comes to my own experiences, it’s much more difficult When my son got to the age that I was when the abuse... |

I am lucky or so I thought, I managed to fool the whole world after much practice that I was normal I have been married twice. I now eat antidepressants like Smarties and h... |

| Suicide, That sounds a bit melodramatic, on good days I think of all the upset it would cause my wife and son and so I should, on not-so-good days I worry that no one will love my dog the way I do, on bad days I am afraid it will hurt or I will fail and then I would have to face everybody knowing wh... |

| My family was big into corporal punishment too. I was often beat with a belt as a kid. I feel like that along with emotional abuse contributed to my timidity and made me more prone to being a doormat when I got older. It’s like my life makes sense when everything is taken in context which I suspect... |

| Thank you Jakki. I appreciate your help. I struggle with being kind to myself because as soon as I'm kind I somehow end up harming myself really badly. In fact the last time it happened I was worried I'd done some permanent damage still am worried. It's an every day battle for me and I do self medi... |

For example, I once walked into my (married) supervisor's office to find a female colleague blowing him under his desk. I have never been very good a sp... |

| I was sexually abused as a child, but I honestly feel that the emotional abuse that occurred later on has had a far, far greater impact on me. People have tried to say that the CSA (childhood sexual abuse) is the reason I'm ace and lesbian, but in all the therapy I've done, I've not found even an o... |
