Relationships After Trauma (Dating, Marriage, and Challenges)

Relationships after trauma are complicated - whether or not your trauma directly relates to an abusive relationship (whether it be emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse or sexual assault). So many of us struggle with either the reality or the idea of being in a romantic or intimate relationship. I did not believe that love was possible after what I experienced - until I met my (now) husband. But it was a long journey to build a healthy relationship, and here are some of the challenges that I personally faced.
