Awkward and a more extreme / abnormal situation
Relationship Stress / by DawsonB99

...See more So to cut to the chase / crash course I was abused by my ex severely to the point police were called. When they arrived they arrested me based on gender and since then I have won my legal battles and she has been arrested on 14 counts of aggravated perjury as well as falsifying a police report/lying to an officer and 4 counts of aggravated assault with the domestic violence flag on the charge. Prior to all that I had plans to marry this woman until it went too far. If it’s still too long to read TLDR my ex lied to police to get me arrested because I wanted away from the abuse and was able to thankfully prove she lied about everything. There’s still residual fallout but it’s in a civil court for property repossession. I have since tried to re enter the dating scene but I struggle with trust after that bad of a relationship. I know not everyone is like that and the first date always goes amazing. The problem comes up after the first date. I struggle to maintain a conversation which is normal for me but it seems no one understands that in today’s dating pool and it’s not like I’m not interested in them, I just genuinely struggle with that. But even when the few that do understand that talk to me and carry that for me I end up ruining it because I see something barely similar to how my ex carried herself. Like if they ask me to share location so they can come to me or to buy them something small ( I have the money to afford a lot of things, $ isn’t the problem ) and it just immediately sends me back down the rabbit hole of the ex even though I’m over her. Are there things that I’m not over? Absolutely, no one walks away from that abusive of a relationship without scars. But does it affect my dating chances? I can’t really tell. I told one girl the entire situation and it immediately went from giddy and happy to a Jesus Christ he’s been hurt bad. I don’t know what to do at this point. I’m at a loss because I’m trying to settle down and get married without marrying someone who has an onlyfans or a premium ( no offense if you have one, I don’t judge for it but I dont wanna date someone willing to do that because my ex had one as well.) Any help would be appreciated. I’m 23, well kept, well off to the point I can retire early at 28 most likely. Quiet down to earth super chill for context of a who I am I guess.
