That's more what I was wondering about, not a relationship with a "non". My question about the relationship with a "non" is what's in it for you? I know for myself both passive, passive-aggressive and depressed guys all turn me off. I tend to be attracted to aggression, and I'm pretty volatile myself although I can contain it now.
I guess what I'm asking is after everything I've been through what's the point of trying to get along with a "normal" person?

(I don't know what your recovery journey has been like but mines been tough )

I don't know if you've been reading my compassion for a sociopath thread or not but in my particular case I have to be extra careful because of my first marriage.
I feel like I'm kind of in this grey area now where normalcy does not interest me but I don't want my relationship to be one big brawl either, you know?
All the men in my life have been difficult or abusive: father, brother, ex and it's made me a very strong woman.
I guess my really question is: how do you define strength?
