I've been in a very badly abusive relationship before, though I'd rather not talk about it. So I was aware of and looked out for warning signs and I didn't see any. Though I may seem it from my inability to properly vocalise my thoughts or opinions I am not your typical naive 18 year old because whilst my friends were busy worrying about which lipstick to wear I was busy survivng. Ultimatley he wants to take care of me, but our Dom/sub dynamic gets in the way of a regular relationship.
