How has being in a emotionally abusive relationship changed you?

Question

Do you think it's changed you at all or are you the same ?

Answer

I have no patience now for red flags. Before I met my husband and I was dating, the minute a guy showed a red flag I was done. I refused to put up with that crap ever again.

Answer

When I was in high school I was with an abusive guy. It definitely changed me. Made me go crazy. It's been 3 years since we ended our 2 year shitty relationship. I recently have been able to completely get over it but I still have hard feelings towards him. For any one that is in an abusive relationship, mentally abusive or physical, please seek help.

Answer

It made me insecure and possessive. I always think there's a different truth than what is being told. However I just got out of his relationship so I'm sure not time after working on my self I will be ok. Like another poster mentioned- anytime a guy talked to me I would feel like it was my fault. Even when my ex broke up with me and told me we had no chance of getting back together and new guy started talking to me, when we got back together he made me feel like I was not a self respecting woman to allow someone to flirt with me while I had just gotten out of a relationship. That I'm low class and don't appreciate a good man. Now that we are over.m for good this time I still feel weird trying to talk to other men. One I'm not over it and two because I know he would judge me even though what I do when single is none of his damn business. This is going to take time to heal.

Answer

Definitely changed. When i first started dating my current boyfriend i would always feel so nervous and almost guilty anytime i went anywhere or if i had to work with a guy for school/work or even if a guy said hi to me because those were all things that my last boyfriend had screamed at me for in the past. It happened so many times that i was just constantly in this state of fear anytime i was in public because it was always "my fault" if a guy complimented me (i was dressing "like a slut"), talked to me (i was leading him on), or had to work with me (i made myself available). I've been getting better since then now that I'm in a healthier relationship but every now and then i still catch myself feeling scared/guilty even when I'm doing nothing wrong. Talking to my current boyfriend about this has also helped a lot as he is very understanding and supportive.

Answer
