What You Should Know About Dating An Abuse Survivor
What you can do
Well, for starters, you may just have to bring your complaints about coworkers and family members to someone else, like a best friend. Vent sessions may be better spent with someone else, because your partner can read into them, and feel like he urgently needs to stop some perceived abuse he thinks is there. Otherwise, you just have to assure him that if you really felt that somebody was taking advantage of you, you would do something about it.
