Advice on if I’m not being open minded
Is it bad if a guy shares his trauma with you two months in.
Bruh he is a sweet guy!
And he is Christian I believe . He read his bible everyday and that’s good. He goes to church occasionally.
But the things is he has a lot from his past.
He cheated 3 times. 2 in high school and 1 in his last relation-ship early 20s. He is currently 27. That last relation-ship was 6 years and it finally ended last year. But I asked have you ever cheated and he was willing to tell me how many times. He even admitted it was because she wasn’t meeting his emotional needs so he slept with other girls and said they were on break and she cheated back. That relationship was a mess. He admitted that was really bad and he feels guilty and there was no excuse to cheat and he would never do it again...but Idk.
He bought a plane ticket to see me cause we are talking long distance 3 weeks into getting to know each other ……I can’t tell if that’s a good or bad thing. I appreciated it. He will come in August. But then he kept trynna come earlier after I said many times no I can’t cause I’m super busy that month.
But the biggest thing is when I asked him was he hyper sexual. I asked because he told me as a child he saw his mom having sex for money. And I was like…hmmmm Has sex a lot younger + exposed early = hypersexual.
So then he was like well I do have trauma blah blah blah…and I was like ok I didn’t really wanna hear it in the back of My mind which I didn’t tell him. I said it was ok to share. He was gonna tell me in August. He said actually he will tell me over the phone yesterday. I said I will listen. And so for context we are probably now 1 month and 2 weeks in . He is like I haven’t even told any body this ……lord
- He made up a fictional character because growing up because he didn’t have a stable home. Grew up in Poverty, sometimes didn’t know his next meal. He was abused and saw abuse emotionally and physically. His dad sold drugs and they had a home invasion one time….. He argued with his mom cause he didn’t get why he couldn’t see his dad. His mom stole 1k from him because she was struggling. He forgave her in college because he realized at 23 that if he went thru what she went thru at this age he would be so stressed. So there is that .
- He said when he was younger he got very angry fast. Crash out. He was molested by his older brother who is now trans and he loves and forgives him now. He said he forgave him as a adult cause he realized that maybe something happened to him which made him do the same to his little brother. He was also molested by his coach who he forgives but he said if he saw him he would beat him up. But he said he is ok now and healed and blah blah blah. I believe it but I’m still like…….idkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. That’s a lot to tell someone early on. He said his trauma doesn’t seep into the relationship but I don’t think anyone intentionally does that. I don’t wanna be like nahhhh cause of this so what you think ? I have my own stuff as well. I saw my mom get abused, I was an almost molested, I was introduced to porn early and watched it a lot and was hyper sexual. I never cheated or anything but idk. Maybe I need to show grace.
He just keeps talking about trauma and I'm annoyed.im not used to emotional men .
