I am a woman who moved from her nation of origin to another quite far away in order to marry someone who I had known long distance for several years. Unfortunately that relationship ended up being abusive (sadly all of my serious relationships have been that way). I am now trying to stay in the new country because it is far safer and more comfortable for me than I ever was where I was born and grew up. As far as being LGBT I am Panromantic. I believe that I am somewhere on the asexual spectrum but not sure where. I do have sexual feelings and can be attracted to people so I am not asexual. In relationships where I have had sex my interested level was lower than my partners which has caused problems. I have also had problems with how I was approached and treated about/during sex and I believe that is part of why I avoid sexual situations. I guess more details can eventually be brought up as I interact in threads and discussions.
Hi @QuietPeace and welcome to EC. I’m sorry that your relationship was abusive. I have been in an abusive relationship myself and know how horrible it can be. Well done for recognising the abuse and getting out. I hope you find the support that you’re looking for at EC.
