• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have a sexual past that I'm not proud of. I had a very unhealthy attitude toward sex in my teens and 20s. Women, and later men were there for my amusement and I saw them all as sexual objects. This caused a lack of intimacy within my marriage for many years. The first seven years of marriage, I treated her no differently than my previous conquests. It's scarred her and has caused regrets for me. Things are better between us all the time and I wish I'd known what sex within the confines of marriage was supposed to be years ago. What I wouldn't give for her to have been my first and only sexual partner. But it's our past that's made us who we are.
