Today, I told my girlfriend of 2 years that I was sexually abused as a kid. She was only the third person I've told. She reacted by breaking up with me because I "might do something" to her kids. FML

Abuse is a horribly traumatic thing to endure at any point in your life. I'm sorry OP that you had to go through that. I hope the person that hurt you is rotting in jail or in hell. I have 0 tolerance for abusers. I hate people that make excuses for someone that's abusive. You shouldn't be able to walk this earth if you allow such evil to escape from your body! I have dealt with so many sex offenders and it makes me sick to think about the things these people would do. Your girlfriend is obviously being insensitive, but she may just be scared.

this is precisely the reason you dont tell people stuff about you

#76, so we should all go through life hiding our essential selves from everyone, including our family, significant others, and closest friends? Sounds awfully lonely...

I am in the same boat as you i.e. it happened to me too, although the girlfriend I told was a lot more sensitive and caring. I have heard that there is a higher chance of it happening; but this bitch is out of line.

Please, someone, anyone, tell give me a single reason how this could ever be a YDI.

Insensitive and already has kids with some other dude? Sounds like you dodged a bullet, man.

Wow. So unfair on so many levels. The sad fact is that statistics show a large majority of abusers were abused themselves. So the GF is "right" in that way to protect her children. But ... the statistics show a majority - not every one. So OP gets a double whammy - abused with no say or control over it - and then marked for life as a "potential" abuser himself as a result. It just gets worse and worse! I've certainly never been abused, but I have been unjustly accused of being a "potential" abuser (I'm male, have a dick, and am therefore apparently a potential abuser...) and I know how hurt and angry that made me feel. I can't begin to conceive how OP feels about all this. Thanks for sharing - you will find someone that can take you and see you and believe in you as you are - not just the potential result of your past. Keep faith OP.

"The sad fact is that statistics show a large majority of abusers were abused themselves. So the GF is "right" in that way to protect her children. But ... the statistics show a majority - not every one." I'm not sure how to convey to you how absurdly stupid you are. The majority of abusers were abused. THE MAJORITY OF THE ABUSED DO NOT TURN INTO ABUSERS. Do you understand how that works?

All roosters are chickens, but not all chickens are roosters. Pretty straight forward logic.

you know what you must do. spit acid at her

Draegoncode, I feel for you. I am also happy for you because it sounds like you are doing things to prevent your life from being f***d by what happened in the past. You are coming to grips with what happened, you are in therapy, and you are telling others about it. If she left you, then she wasn't the one for you. You will find someone who can know you and trust you. Good luck, and keep on your good path.

be a man keep this horror in your heart... do not fear your friends...
