I have lived through a lot of abuse and trauma in my life. I have been emotionally, mentally, physically, and sexually abused. So if they were willing to take a chance on me and all of my baggage... why would I ever turn them away because they also bring baggage with them?
Yes, I would accept a man into my life that had experienced abuse or trauma in his life and I would do my best to help him through it, the same as I would hope that he would be there to help me through my own.
Most Helpful Opinions
The entire thing would depend on where that person was in their life in dealing with the trauma.
If they're in the middle of it and are still heavily traumatized and have PTSD, then I'd say no. If they've made their peace with it and are in therapy and are handling it, then, yes.
What Girls Said
Always we all have trama from our past. Some it is just more evident!
YES OBVIOUSLY,
i date because I like someone, if I like someone I'll like everything about them. Their so called flaws, their weakness, their traumas and every bad part of their life. I'll love it all
i also think that when such feeling is genuine, it would also help the other person to overcome or open up about it, so yes.I believe that dating someone with past trauma is about connection, not their history. It's all about growing together. Their resilience and strength can be inspiring, and being part of their journey towards healing and happiness is genuinely rewarding.
And one more thing, everyone has some kind of traumas in their life...
My SO has had ptsd due to his abusive parents and I think personally it boosted our relationship due to us being more open to each other about our problems.
Depends on what the trauma is and how much damage it's done. But in most cases, based on what I consider trauma and damage, no since even the average man is too traumatized and damaged for my tolerance.
Yes, but I think what's important is how they have dealt with the past traumas and how it's affecting their life currently.
I’d be more concerned if someone didn’t have past traumas.
