This might sound hypocritical coming from someone like me, but most people aren't manipulative.

My 8 year relationship ended with some pretty major betrayal and abandonment. I was left for another woman when I was 2 weeks away from having our second child. It was absolutely traumatizing. So yes, there is definitely some unresolved issues from that. Which was 3.5 years ago. But I feel like my problems with intimacy go back even further than that even. But since then have most definitely gotten worse.
