I also reacted to this when I heard it! I had to write it down because it was so mind blowing to me. In the past I have always talked about my bad experiences and trauma, thinking men will think "she has been through a lot, I need to treat her well". Instead it's like they said in the pod, men will think "she has been treated like shit, so I can get away with treating her like shit aswell since she won't know any better".
I used to be into bdsm when I was a teenager and in my 20's. I sort of somewhat lost interest the past years, but now after finding FDS I realize that I will never ever be interested in it again. Ever. I feel so ashamed and disgusted with the things I let men do to me. I still have the "toys" in my closet I want to get rid of. I love FDS so much! It's been so amazing for me in starting to realize my self worth.
Reading this made me realise my current partner drinks both water and eat vegetables. My exes did neither.. It's kind of mind boggling how this is a thing with men. My first boyfriend was 26 and I was 15. 26 years old and "didn't like" water.. Only drank soda and milk, like a baby.
Ugh, I also had an ex like this.. He was much older than me and we got together when I was just a young teenager. I remember looking up to him and thinking he must know better than me about everything. Looking back now he was such a immature baby!
