Sometimes I don't know if men can have empathy

And she thinks that refusing sex makes them respect her. Her bf is afraid of lack of sex and his bro is certainly empathetic to his bro's possible lack of sex. No respect for her involved.

This is what LVM call abuse against men. Actually abuse against the woman.

Hopefully, she leaves.

People who tease abused women have a defect that cannot be solved with tearful ultimatums.

I honestly believe, and this is heartbreaking, that some men do NOT consider women as human beings and therefore can't experience empathy towards them.

I have CPTSD and one of my top requirements is someone who is empathetic to that and doesn’t want me to be triggered (it’s not just with a partner, I freak out if any man within earshot starts yelling or getting agitated). My last boyfriend would want to stick around and “watch the drama” while I was panicking and trying to get away from whatever was happening, it was my biggest clue to leave.

If you need to stop having sex with a man in order to get "respect" from him, sometimes is very VERY WRONG The fact that she needs to hse sex as a mean to be heard is disturbing. She needs to go.

This is goddamn heartbreaking.

I hope she flat out leaves him and gets out of that house she's being tortured by two mean assholes.

"...and yes, I still live there. And yes, he is still my boyfriend. And yes, I'm still betraying myself and my dignity by letting them to exploit my PTSD for shits and giggles..." 😔

Throw him in the trash.

Wtf?? Why does she still live there?! I’m easily startled and this would be a big fat “never talk to me again”

Only men get ptsd? How dumb are these guys? It should be rare to find two people in the same vicinity who are THAT stupid. Like even women in the military can't get it?? But I bet like most men he still thinks women are weak and can't handle pressure or trauma. We're weak minded, yet so mentally strong we can't get ptsd.

Men really think they're the smart sex.
