What is this society coming too if they don't help someone out of a relationship that is abusive if it's with someone of the same sex or not.

I'm sorry that you felt like you couldn't get out of it, in fear that someone would just start things because you're gay, that is wrong.

I in a sense know how you feel. I thought what I went through with my ex wasn't anything wrong, he loved me, or so he said and was doing it cause he cared. That is what I truely thought. I look back and think how stupid I am. I know it is probably hard to trust another guy, have another relationship in fear that it will happen again. But if it did, could you defend yourself and would you do something differently?

Have you thought about therapy, or tried to get into that to help you with these issues, and to learn coping skill and learn how to trust someone again. No one should have to live with that fear. I did up until 2001 when I met the love of my life now ... and it's lasted nearly 3 yrs, but before that , before him I was in numerous situations where I was assaulted sexually, harrassed, even at my work place.

But I learned to trust, I know now that the man I am with will never hurt me like the others did. I can trust him, and because that I rarely have triggers cause I know i'm in a safe place.
