What You Should Know About Dating An Abuse Survivor
What you can do
Find a natural way to tell your partner a bit about all of the people he’ll be meeting that night. Don’t make it sound like you’re giving him a cheat sheet to their life stories, but just work stories into conversation that highlight the wonderful qualities of the friends he’s about to meet. It makes him feel more comfortable to have information about new people before meeting them. And, just notify your friends that your partner can be shy in new settings so they aren’t thrown off by his behavior.
