How has your childhood impacted your relationship?
Trust in men was, and is, hard for me based off being left by my "dad", something else that happened back as a kid, and my ex abusing both me and my daughter.
Though that's all only part of why I have trust issues with guys.. and him.
Also feeling wanted and loved, by anyone - not just him - is hard for me to believe from being emotionally abused so much, as well as being left by my dad and ex.

@Courtlynn that's true! Guess we have to get rid of the bad apples before we find the right one.

Yeah, technically. He abused my mom when I was 1.5ish and my brother was 6months. Then had supervised visits off and on til he went to jail at some point - probably around age 3. I dont know though.

@Courtlynn I have a friend who is emotionally and physically abused by her husband and she takes all the blame up on herself. He has her brainwashed.
