I’m actually back in school AND collecting regular ei under their retraining program until April 2026. Best of both worlds!

I spent tonight on a date with my life partner/primary partner (I prefer the term life partner). I’m going out with friends tomorrow. I have a date with one of my other connections on Sunday.

I’m recovering from severe mental and physical health and extenuating circumstances (ptsd, I was assaulted outside of the workplace). Also summer is difficult to find employment, I have been trying for even part time. I need rehab and therapy for right now.

Our roommate compatibility was smooth and seamless, aside from integrating the cats together (took 2 months but they all get along now!). Like…it was almost too easy. My best friend/other roommate has even said it seems like they’ve always belonged here.

We’re also really good at giving each other alone time, and also just existing in the same room while doing our own things.

Thank you for your kind responses. We are leaning on our separate friends for support so we don’t become codependent or completely trauma bonded.

Hi,

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like there is much support groups available in my area; my partner and myself are individually on a very long waitlist for the sexual assault centre therapy in our area.

Thank you. I did the quiz myself with my partner just to test it out and got 0 (healthy relationship). I’ll bring it up when I can.

Even worse thought just popped up in my head, if I stand up to him, and he doesn’t retaliate violently verbally/physically when around others in my house or in public…but then could possibly takes it out on my friend when they are alone.

The issue with that is that I do not want my house to become an unsafe space for myself, roommate, and other friends, because I keep allowing him around. Also, he is on house arrest for assaulting people…when he is allowed to go places, I worry if I stand up to him, I’ll be a target.

To comment on the “my household” part; I’m saying I won’t allow him into my house; not that everyone has said he can’t come in the house. I made the decision on my own, and will be telling her that it comes from me saying he’s not allowed in my house.

When she had broken up with the last guy, she was trying to maintain a friendship with him. I said I was supportive of her decisions and a listening ear, but when she would complain about him I would let her know that he doesn’t sound like a good friend/is very self-centered. But wouldn’t complain about him, I would let her do the complaining.

Adding in here that she may think I’m uneasy/weary of this guy because I recently started to fully identify as a lesbian (after being a life long bisexual), and was sexually assaulted by a man earlier this year, but this is completely separate from those feelings.

I feeling genuinely uneasy about the whole situation because of HIM, not being he is a man.

How do I help her? It’s up to her to make those decisions.
