[QUOTE="Suz, post: 29118, member: 29"] I guess I have a different definition of "abuse", too. I've heard enough stories of your exhusband to agree that he was definitely abusive. What you are describing with boyfriend- to me- would be relegated to a "jerk" maybe, but not an abusive person. And if you truly think he was abusive, I guess I would have to echo Fran's question of why would you want him back? Surely NOTHING could outweigh true abuse. It didn't with your ex. I would like to think that you learned from that experience and wouldn't repeat wanting another abusive relationship. The type of relationship you describe as what you want sounds a lot like the marriage between my nephew and his new wife. They belong to a very conservative wing of the Presbyterian Church. [i]VERY[/i] conservative. Frankly, their marriage vows last summer made my head spin [img]:faint:[/img] but each to his/her own and they are very happy together....because they both want the same kind of relationship like you described. They found each other (long story) basically through having the same religious beliefs/same church. I wonder if maybe that might be a way for you to meet someone next time? If memory serves, I think you met boyfriend through a Christian group but maybe it wasn't conservative enough? Suz [/QUOTE]
