Man in an abusive relationship?

41 posts in this topic

@eaaaeaeae I'm not sure how 'don't get into relationships' is useful advice for someone already in a relationship.  

Money comes, money goes.  I've had it all, lost it all, and got it all back.. I'm not afraid of divorce.  It's great, actually.  I'm glad it's an option for me. As I said, I have a good lawyer, and I know my rights.  You act as if I'm the only one in my relationship who worked for what I have.  She deserves half of what we both worked to build, even if I'm 'the victim'.  

But I don't see myself as a victim, at least not a victim of 'her behavior'.. I can only be taken advantage of to the degree I allow it.  What am I a victim of? My own inability to create and maintain safe boundaries for myself? At least I can work on that. 

And sure, hormones go on that list as well.  I'll travel back in time now and keep my hormones in check.
