    Missing what ya never had to begin with

    In that moment, no. I honestly didn’t see it that way. Because again, he called it a “joke” — looking back, you are 100% right. He would overpower me in many forms. And he wanted to always show me that he had the upper hand. Psychically, sexually... and even mentally. He would tell me that I was...

    Missing what ya never had to begin with

    I really appreciate everyone’s support... I don’t even know you people, and everyone has been so kind. His abuse was different than how you think abuse may look.

    Missing what ya never had to begin with

    Ah, well, without even knowing, you kind of hit the nail on the head. Was indeed abusive... I looked up the different forms of abuse in a relationship, and the relationship had literally 5 out of the 6. I left... I got out... I feel like I cognitively accepted the fact it had to end. But...

    Missing what ya never had to begin with

    What the heck is the science behind missing something you never had to begin with? Bill Nye the Science guy needs to provide me with an evidentiary explanation as to why this happens... because it does not make sense. I was in a relationship. Let’s be honest, it sucked. It met.... exactly ZERO...
