In a matter of a few months (maybe 2) I got with wh. And he was amazing and so caring, I felt protected from him. The thing is, my ex did a lot of damage to me, I was a broken woman, and I don't think I started to build myself back up until bd1 in 2015. So I think now, I'm fully trying to identify these issues within myself and build me back fully into the woman I was.
I find it interesting that several of us here seem to have met our spouses at a really low time in our lives, where we had little confidence and possibly just out of a bad R. Maybe we married rescuers who aren't comfortable with us finding our strength and confidence.
I know that WH wants someone 'small' - someone who doesn't have her own life or needs or purpose besides fulfilling his needs.
