It has been over a yr since I left a man I was in a 6 year relationship with. I met him when I was 22 and I was a virgin (by choice).  When I met him he was obsessed with me & started to slowly control my life and was very aggressive sexually and in our daily life. He would demand sex 2x a day & then  tell me how beautiful I was & send me love letters. It was exhausting but I was too naive to leave. I loved him. The last year we were together he was awful. He was in grad school and would come home late & get mad when I asked why.  One night I came home from working late and he was asleep. He had fallen asleep with his phone on the bed so I went to move it. When I moved it I was completely shocked because I saw the "grindr" app. Now this is a man who loved my boobs and body. I immediatly woke him up & said what is this? He took his phone from me & deleted the app. I begged him to tell me the truth so I could get tested. He told me several different lies that kept changing. I held his hand and told him if he was gay or bisexual he could tell me and I loved him. He wouldnt. I told him I couldnt live with any lies between us, so I left one day while he was at work. After I left the abuse continued. He stalked and texted me constantly. Threatened me and did many other horrible things. After 5 months he finally left me alone. I have tried dating after I left him but I struggle so much with trust issues. I just dont know how I could have been so wrong about someone. 

When you randomly think of someone and hope they're doing well 

He really pissed me off and he dates all the girls

What does that mean? Why would a mom stop her daughter from seeing or being near a certain boy. Like why would a mom hide her daughter? And why would she try to avoid the boy when she's with her daughter? Like as if the boys going to do something or take her daughter ? It's weird .  Like for example if a boy was in a store the mom would see the boy and she will try to hide her daughter and stop her daughter from being near that boy.  Is it a bad boy he's going to take my daughter and she'll fall for it thing? Like for example when she see that boy she'll try to quickly turn to a different location so her daughter won't see him 

I have two siblings and all I do is see for the Christmas I want a better relationship with them but here's the problem. One of them never asks how am I am doing he goes straight to talk about himself and avoids my life. The second isn't as financially stable which means he needs to borrow we go out I pay more I get constant blame for not helping him out hand him a job etc. what would you do if you were me? Or what would you think?

My husband makes enough money for our family of 4, and I'm debating if I should continue to work or be a SAHM. I enjoy my work for the most part, but I think what I enjoy most is the company of my co-workers and socializing at work.  But that got my thinking...am I sacrificing time with my family for superficial work "friendships"? Would these people still continue to be in my life if I left, or is it a situation where we were never really friends, just colleagues? More and more I'm beginning to think it's the latter.  This thought to me is upsetting, am I just setting myself up for disappointment in the future if someone (me?) leaves and we're out of each other's lives forever just like that? The reality is just crushing, but is that normal? The line between professional/personal is blurry, and it's hard not to cross when you spend time with the same person every day at work. I thought my co-workers were my friends, but I'm just not so sure anymore. So, would you continue to work if you didn't need the money?

What is this? Is that manipulation? Aren't you allowed to be angry at someone without them getting mad at you (for being angry about something they did)?
