Thank you SO much for the replies. I really am lost in the dating game, I have NO idea how a respectful relationship works as I was abused growing up and then spent the last ten years in an abusive marriage.
I question myself regularly on what is okay and not, what is respectful and disrespectful etc.
The male perspectives give me hope that there are good men out there though!! I hope I come across a nice guy and actually recognize it lol.

Thanks guys !!
