So I have lurking in the background gaining some great insight into TRP and I had a few questions that I was curious to see the opinions of everyone here.

When I was 20, over 6+years ago now, I was in abusive relationship for years. I was a pretty large 6ft2 and 120KG guy and was finishing up with my degree at the time. I was caught in a very difficult situation without the tools to handle it. It was pretty much every single type of abuse and was made worse by the fact that I was a bloke 6ft+ and my partner was 5ft. I guess being young and stupid was probably the reason for this to have gone of for so long and not walk away (3years).

Anyway fast forward to now. I gym 5days a week. I am physically fitter than all my friends I was fatter than a year ago. I have hobbies I love, goals I am smashing and I am always pushing myself forward but I still deal with the PTSD on a daily. Anyway long story short my questions are.

  1. What are you thoughts on what I was going through and some insight on mental health especially when it was caused directly by a LTR? I am not asking for therapy, in fact reading through the TRP's content I want someone to be blunt to me because people tend to pussy foot around this subject. I just want to know what your thoughts are. Obviously now I can look back but I was curious what TRP's opinions were on it.

  2. I recently broke up with a LTR/women that I was pretty much just having fun with. Which was obviously amazing difference from the abusive relationship. So my 2nd question is. I have an some insanely good feedback since getting in shape over the past year. But since the shit that happened with my ex who was abusive I do worry about banging random women. I just have this fear about pregnancy, STD's and other stuff which is a knock on effect from the PTSD. Should I just wrap up and bang away and is it normal to be worried about this kind of stuff? My friend said just have fun, wrap up and if you wanna run shit past me then go ahead. But I told him I would ask this question here as I want some critical feedback.

Pretty random/unique questions based on my situation and if I need to give more information I am happy too. But tbh you have the base so use you imagination and fire away any feedback in regards to my questions.
