Hi there,
I know this thread is very old, but I was hoping that someone could please give me an update on their relationship with a sexually abused male. Did things work out in the end? Did they end up seeking help?
I am in the exact same situation now, and in the faze where he will randomly contact me to catch up, we will have a wonderful time, and then he will withdraw again and ignore me.
I am the only person who knows that he was raped by his older brother as a child. We have broken up and got back together many times. We are now not “together” but still speak and he says he needs to sort himself out before he can be in a relationship with me. But this does not mean he is willing to seek professional help, he has refused to do that.
He has now left on a party trip around Europe which I think will exacerbate his emotional state as he tends to drink heavily to escape reality.
I’d really like to know if a relationship with such an individual can ever work?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
