To those who left a long-term relationship but ended up moving into a new relationship before fully ending the first one, can you tell me what that was like especially as time went by?

I'm not talking about leaving relationships where the partner was abusive or cheated, but an actual long term relationship in where you both loved each other deeply.

My on/off gf of last 2 years died three weeks ago. She had been Fentanyl addict before we dated, but was not using at the time. While we dated, she sometimes used other things (coke, weaker opiates) and sometimes I approved of it as keeping her from anything harder, sometimes I disapproved.

A few times, she relapsed. She'd be out of contact for a couple days, later admit she had gotten some Fentanyl & relapsed. ...

I'm sorry for posting too much on this forum. I posted here about a week ago. I have hard time understanding if my case was rape or not. Can I be labeled as a rapist? Not long ago I thought it's only rape when there's a violent physical contact between genitals. Now I'm not sure. I found the definition of rape on the official FBI website:

Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus ...

I post here because I have prior experience with BPD and FP!

I recently met an interesting individual that seems to be interested in me as well.
First Date: "I suffer from BPD!" ... ok, not new to me...

I was "FP" before. Can I avoid going there again w/o losing this person? Help!
I really , really like that person!

19 years ago (when I was 14, just turned 14) I committed COCSA towards my brother who was aged 4. I have since suffered PTSD and overwhelming guilt because of my actions. To give some context - I grew up in a very sexualised environment, and was mentally and physically abused growing up by my mother. My mother would stick her tongue in my mouth, gave me condoms at 12/13 years old and would openly ...

Hello 26M here.
Name's sheknows. I am writing this because some hand would be helpful here, and I know after reading a lot that you guys are very wise.

Firstly I want to tell my story which probably is quite lengthy. Please I advise you to be aware that I am not native speaker and my English is ''trying to improve'' at best so do not mind some of my mistakes while writing.

Well, I ...

I 20M sexually abused my sister while she was asleep. It happened when I was 14 or 15(I don't remember exactly when) that puts my sister around 9 or 10(5 years 3 months age gap) and we slept in a same bad together (because our family had only 2 beds at the moment). I licked and fingered(probably) her. It happened 2 times in a short time period and I've also photographed her for some reason ...

I have been in treatment for sixteen years. I have completed ...

I can't believe I'm so unlucky.

I'm not mentally ill.

I haven't taken medications for years.

I never needed the meds.

Yet now I have permanent side effects. They are embarrassing. They tarnish my social life.

I guess this was the goal for them in the first place: to humiliate and hurt me.

I was normal without psychiatry. They just didn't want to let me know. Now I have a neurological disease thanks to their ...

I've been abused emotionally during my teenhood, from middle school to college, where I only have a year left to graduate. Since February, I've been on a progress of healing those emotional scars than the last few years, but there are some moments where I end up recollecting incidents of me enduring all that harm and torture inflicted by other people. Because of this, I have a hard time trusting people, becoming too dependent on ...
