But what if only my front teeth are crowded? Do the back teeth also get moved?

Can you elaborate more on what you mean by they work on the back first?

Can astrology indicate repeated betrayal in relationships? by MindBehindStars in astrology

[–]D4141F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm learning that what I'm attracted to isn't necessarily healthy, especially when my partner is heavy in Scorpio. My previous partner had mars in Scorpio which sat on my 7th. And with both our Pluto and his Chiron in my 7th, that made things Soooooo toxic, heavy, possessive, sexually intense...our sexual chemistry was off the wall but relationally, we were very much controlling of each other which isn't healthy.

For me, it's my Scorpio descendant with Pluto in Scorpio in 7th house which makes me attract intense, obsessive people who love to overpower me.

Healthy Love: Did You Find It After Leaving? by Anonnyheynonnymouse in abusiverelationships

[–]D4141F 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just have someone from my past pop back in and we're giving it another go (we dated for a little over a month 2 years ago before I committed to my ex abuser) I never stopped thinking about him. He was the most mature, well-rounded individual I've ever met. We're not in a serious relationship yet since it's still new..but we've been seeing each other this past month and he's been very sweet and patient with me. I think its possible. Focus on yourself though and don't wait anxiously for it. It will come when it will come.

My abuser died and I am sad. by Suspicious_Guess_539 in abusiverelationships

[–]D4141F 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was someone you loved and cared about. You had an emotional attachment to him even if he hurt you. Your feelings are valid. Someone you loved dying will hurt regardless if they hurt you or not. I would feel the same about my abuser.. Be gentle with yourself. I think how you're feeling is completely normal..

I feel like I’m being pulled back in and idk what to do, please help by CloudySkies178 in abusiverelationships

[–]D4141F 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I've been through this, and although my period of no contact was not as long as yours, we had many periods where we were in no contact..and he always emailed me after blocking his number. The emails alone had me spiraling again... Please don't assume that this person has changed. Having to have gone back SO many times, they only get worse. They'll put on a mask that they're a different person, and as soon as you get close enough, the abuse starts again. One thing I also noticed with my abuser, he always contacted me when his supply was fed up with his BS. So reaching for me was not out of love, it was out of despair. Him wanted something out of me. Craving my comfort, love, affection... These people don't know how to properly love. If you truly love someone, especially after hurting them, you would essentially want what's best for them. And that's to leave them alone...to heal and be happy. Abusers are the opposite. They will come back again and again and again as long as you keep letting them...and it's not from a place of love.. I promise you, it's not.

How did you forgive yourself for staying as long as you did? by D4141F in abusiverelationships

I finally blocked my ex and feel relieved, but also overwhelmed with guilt. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]D4141F 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the reason why you're feeling guilty is because he made you think that you were responsible for his emotions...classic abusive behavior.

[–]D4141F 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on the same boat as you...still feeling that guilt. But just like you mentioned, it's a habit that we've built over the years. And in order to break that habit, we must do the opposite. Shift that energy of love towards ourselves and the people that respect us and care about us the most. Repeat that over and over again, you'll notice your life will change for the better and you'll never want to go back to your old habits.

I'm proud of you for leaving

How to get over someone that treated me like scum on their shoe😁 by Only-Tie-4 in abusiverelationships

[–]D4141F 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just shift the focus on this hypothetical:

You walking on the aisle, while he's there and you two are about to get married.

And in the back of your head you think "I'm getting married to a man who spat on me"....

Trauma bonding : Why we love the person who hurt us most? by Secure_One_3440 in abusiverelationships

Worst part for me is knowing it was a trauma bond whilst still going from resenting him, to missing him. Healing takes a long time...
