Maybe if you'd had a book about sex with a couple of paragraphs on bondage when you were 13 you wouldn't be so clueless now.

When confronted about his affair did he claim that you were maligning his character?! It's so absurd it's hilarious!

Well, I did hear stuff like, "I'm sorry I just wasn't thinking"! OK, so, the first part, I don't believe, but, yeah...you weren't ever thinking of anyone put yourself, ya putz!

Seriously...they will NOT be there for you. Not. At. ALL!! You'll make yourself crazy in the process.

Get out. NOW. I'm sorry, but there's no other real solution to offer. I ended up married to one for 2 decades. It was total misery and I ended up blaming myself for so much I shouldn't have. Please, don't do that to yourself!!

Well, obviously, she provoked it! /s

Narcissists can be conceited, but not all conceited people are full blown narcissists.

My Ex-narc-husband once caused me to take a bad fall in the bathroom. He walked away, left me lying there, then got mad about me "making a big deal out of nothing" since I wasn't all that hurt. Well, I have to say, taking the fall was more than a bit painful, I was stunned for a few moments afterwards (mostly…

Yes, that guy you think is so nice can really tackle/pin his wife to the ground, punch her in the face, rip a door apart, and scream in an uncontrolled rage. Yes, I know you don't believe it because he seems like "such a nice guy", but believe me...he is NOT!

If you've been in a "the man who was meant to love me most who hurt me the worst" situation for a while, after you get out of it it's not easy to figure out what's genuine kindness and what's meant as a manipulative setup. I'm now more alarmed by romantic overtures than I am by anything else. Any guy who goes the…

He's making lists of numbers you called? You've given him passwords to your online stuff? These are all very serious warning signs of someone who's possessive and controlling. This is a warning sign of the start of an escalating abusive cycle.

You ignore it, excuse it away, tell yourself he's just having a bad day...you stay in denial. :(

I'd also guess this guy is good at using more subtle cruelty towards his wife. He likely gaslights, manipulates, is passive-aggressive, etc. That sort of behavior is insidious and can really take a toll after a while. Then, there will likely be times where he does go further and it becomes physical abuse.

Once I was an adult I tried to get help. Went on so many different meds I eventually lost count. Nothing seemed to help. Finally, in my mid-30s, a doctor prescribed adderall. Getting treatment for ADD was the answer I'd been searching for. Unfortunately, as an adult, it can be difficult to get treatment and stay…

Condoms are even used on non insertion toys like wands since wands can't be easily sterilized.

Cause no one uses condoms on sex toys?

So, you want the virus to spread completely unchecked? It's not like these organizations haven't been asking for more resources and manpower to fight this virus.

It's miserable, isn't it? My ex was passive aggressive about it too.

Yeah, because being violated by someone you thought you could trust is no big deal. It certainly doesn't add anything to the mix, make you question your judgment, wonder what signs you missed, blame yourself, or even lead you to create wild excuses for the other person's crime. Nope, date rape is just a bit worse…

I love sci-fi propaganda posters.
