Does anyone find that their personal and general hygiene standards are somewhat less than when compared to others'?

For example; I work in a workshop environment where my hands are regularly black from oil, dirt, mud, dust, you name it.

If I'm handling ...

I don't know if the title made much sense, what I am asking though, is how to leave a relationship with someone with ASPD who forces the relationship? Especially, if the person figures out where someone lives, because avoiding people can sometimes be easy, when someone figures out where someone lives though, it becomes harder to avoid the person.

Hi, I'm looking for thoughts on my situation/someone who can connect to it.

I'm a guy in long term relationship with a girl. We're madly in love with each other and I want to spend the rest of my life with her and we have great sex.
I've had a masturbation fantasy since puberty about men though - I'll explain in a few lines time.
I've sat and thought does this mean I'm gay, but ...

Unfortunately, I have been in abusive relationships most of my life. Just when I thought I had progressed and gotten past why I ended up in these relationships, I found myself in yet another one that has lasted 3 years, by far the worst I have ever experienced. I have never seen anything like this or known a person so thick and narcissistic. And just when I think he can't sink any lower, he pulls ...

Preface:
I don't have a sexual addiction. Healthy sex drive, yes. Addiction, no. I'm addicted to cigarettes, specifically Marlboro mediums (I HAVE to have ...
