    I’ve had things like this happen too. I learned to stop sharing pretty early on. Getting laid regularly does a lot more for my state of mind than getting trauma off my chest. Fortunately I’m older now and have good friends who I can open up to about anything if I need to.

      That’s a heartbreaking lesson to take away from this. My relationships with men have always been stronger for being vulnerable with each other. I’m glad you have friends that you can open up to <3

        It is what it is. I don’t really blame them because I don’t think they were intentionally doing it to be cruel, it just happened, I can’t control what turns me on or off either. It’s just frustrating that it happened often enough that it’s something I have to think about.
