the situation has become really critical I mean my boyfriend had become very agressive and making me feel guilty for everything, well I saw his real personality .
I tried to calm the situation but he is very stuborn and also thinks he is superior to me and can tell me anything because he considers tht i didn t respect him ( for really wrong reasons), he even said that he would come to my house if necessary and that the police wouldn t do anything ... alwyas attracted these kinds of situations tht s realy hard to deal with :-[

What are their suggestions & your therapist's suggestions... and your own suggestions to yourself about continually finding yourself in situation such as this one?

mmm my parents tell me I shouldn t find men on the internet lol and I know they are right but it s easier for me of course as I don t have an important social life .
But there must be an inner reason in me that makes me attract bad relationships or men who are agressive and who makes  me feel i am wrong all the time, or only interested in sex....

Would you like a social life so that you don't have to meet men on the internet? And if you would what stops you? And if you wouldn't what are the reasons?

What's your own insight into your relationship difficulties? When you first meet someone do you think.. "uh oh, I've gone for the same type agian. Oh well, what's the alternative?"... or... anything like that? And if you can see the same pattern repeating itself.. could you intervene, and stop yourself before things turn ugly?

Yes I could but maybe I m too afraid .
When I meet someone I never really realise at the begining that It will be the same way again and when i start realising that It takes me a lot of time to admit that I have to stop the relationship or that I m in an abusive situation because I m easily influenced by what people say about me and for exemple they can tell me I won t find anyone else because I have problems and I believe it even if I try not to believe it. I feel like I can t control myself from doing the same things again, for exemple I feel I have to have sex with the person even if he doesn t ask me because I m afraid to lose that person but after that I regret or feel guilty.

Afraid of what exactly do you know?

when i start realising that It takes me a lot of time to admit that I have to stop the relationship or that I m in an abusive situation

Could you list now what that situation would 'look' like, what a few symptoms of that situation are - it might help you to see them more clearly in the future.

I m easily influenced by what people say about me and for exemple they can tell me I won t find anyone else because I have problems and I believe it even if I try not to believe it.


If it makes you feel any better, I am fairly certain thats how our minds work and that, to lesser or greater degrees, everyone is affected by what other people say/think about them. If you look at group of seriously competitive people... in sport or buisness... anything really they attempt  to bring down their opponents by 'bad mouthing' them... and their opponent have a reaction against that - effectively someone else is controlling them/pulling their strings. They aren't at the center of themselves. And it can be difficult to be entire active and not reactive (as in buddhism). So even if you're trying not to beleive it... you're still reacting and it's still there 'in the corner of your eye', throwing you off your game, so to speak.

I feel like I can t control myself from doing the same things again, for exemple I feel I have to have sex with the person even if he doesn t ask me because I m afraid to lose that person but after that I regret or feel guilty.

If you start to recognise the minute details of the pattern you're repeating, there's no reason you can't break 'the habit' - your therapist would be able to give you techniques to develop a new behaviour, surely?

afraid i mean I am shy , so it s easier for me on the net than in real of course


 i would say men don t respect me, they say what I want is not important for exemple and  they are always telling me that  I am wrong and I m a bad person and making me feel I said things i didn t say or saying that they never said what i think they have said and they are using my weaknesses to say I am wrong for exemple "you are alone because you are not respectful of others.." things like tht even if I never wanted to be unrespectful , I m the kind of person who always try to think what I could have done wrong so that s not fair at all.and saying that if I have psychological problems it s my fault and that it s bothering them and that I should be more humble because I have problems.

thanks for your advices , I ll try to talk more about that to my therapist

Lucie, it's sounds as though you are wasting your breath on people who are not even interested in being open and honest :( And possibly only interested in confusing you long enough to squeeze something physical out of you for as long as possible? Do you think?

It crossed my mind that... if your biggest fear is ending up alone... then you could look at it like this: - you have already faced your fear. Didn't you say that this has ben going on for years? So you've already lived the fear, - you've done it and you're out the other side. It sounds as though, despite finding boyfriends, you actually been alone.. all but phsically? And these days you are probably a lot more resilient than you were all those years ago ~ think back on it, see if that's true.

How are things playing out with your current situation btw? Is your boyfriend mentioned at the start of the thread still around?

thank you very much for your replies ;)
what you say is very true I think I have already faced my fear anyway I have been alone for years too and feel alone also with someone, even if this person was very present and dedicating a lot of time for me, but I felt he was not undurstanding me or comforting me for exemple.
I forgot to say that the reason why I also put an end to that relation was that my boyfriend was married already, I hesitated a long time when he told me that and I wanted that we stay friends only, but again the fear of losing him and his "bad" influence telling me I m stupid to feel guilty and being angry for that  made me continue that relation and now I can t help feeling guilty for that and I m not able to forgive me, even if I decided to stop it.
now  we are really separated we don t talk to each other anymore, I feel a bit sad but relieved too but I m a bit  afraid to make the same mistakes in the future.

it s strange because when I decided I really wanted to be with him desptite of the fact that he was married my guilt almost totally disapeared and now that it s over I am constantly obssessed by this feeling of guilt 24/24 and don t know how to feel better. :( and afraid not to deserve any good relationship in the future.

You know Lucie, if you're feeling a certain way about anything (not just this guilt) then constantly trying to feel better about - or escape it, just doesn't work in my opinion... and you could analyse it, into tiny little pieces and not neccessarily solve it or 'heal' it... You could try and just let it sit with you and get on with the rest of your life. I've had a couple of close calls (on their part, not mine) with married men 'testing the waters' - to me it's really easy and clear cut - if he is ready, willing and able to cheat on his wife with seemingly no qualms - then he would more than likely do the same to me (or in this case you).

If you are desperately worried about ending up alone, then I can see why you would want to escape into an idealised picture of the future..."It's his wife's fault..", "He loves me not her...", "I'm the right woman for him, not her...." etc... etc.. etc... anything that will asuage the otherwise persistent negative thoughts you may be having about relationships.

If you're worried about it happening again, just tread warily and be honest with yourself - do you have your suspicions, but are turning a blind eye to them so that you can enjoy yourself for a while? And don't forget to ask: "Hey, are you married?"- and be extremely alert to the response.....

Lucie, If I were you I would keep the texts, ask your friend to keep their text/ phone messages - or in some otherway keep a record of however they are being blackmailed, and go to the Police. This is criminal behaviour.

yes you are right i keep everything in case of more problems ,in fact I  said to him that we would tell the police if he wouldn t stop but It seems that since that he doesn t dare sending more messages or calling me even if he said I m stupid and the police wouldnt care...but I prefer avoiding for the moment because I don t want that he takes a revenge or soemthing he is a bit mad I know...
and he is sending me bad energies I can feel that , I should have stopped this relationship before but I was too lost I think to know what decision I should take at that time.
