That IS the question, isn't it?!?! Can I really??? Or do I just s*ck at understanding all men after believing all of my father's lies...?
I just wrote a post to Shy_Girl about just this topic. It is one that I still have issues with. It is the entire reason that what has been going on with my SO affects me so strongly.
The question is, can I trust my instincts when it comes to men? Or are my instincts all scr*wed up by being continually lied to and disappointed by the men who have been in my life during the formative years?
Thank goodness I got through the "which friends can I trust" issue... it is the sex part which I thinks messes with my ability to "know" boyfriends... This is not to say that my brother and my father molested me or anything; it's not Freudian. I'm not sure what the distinction is... I have male friends- even male friends who have indicated that they wanted to be more, but I wasn't interested and we managed to remain just friends. So it's not gender specific... I don't know WHY that is...
hmmm.... something to ponder... maybe the key to figuring out why I'm "stuck" on this issue...
Anybody got any ideas????
