Once a month, Smash Talks columnist Ashera Buhite addresses a difficult life situation and highlights some local agencies that can help you navigate what to do. This month she speaks with Cameron Balon of Crisis Services about sexual assault.
“How do you stop loving someone who is abusive?”
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been in this stage of a relationship or courtship or whatever and I don’t know what’s going on.
Smashera gets out of town and finds self-care in the process.
I have recently come to the realization that all of the important decisions in my life have been dictated by others.
Every time he gets involved with someone, a big part of me wants to warn them about him but I don’t know how.
Am I just a walking pair of wandering, fantasizing eyes?
Recently, I found out that my ex is dating someone else and knowing this has opened up all the pain again.
I want to be with them, but I don’t want to marry them.
A while back I found out that a friend of mine cheated on his girlfriend.
I really don’t want to lose this friendship, but I also don’t know how to talk to them about it or make it not awkward.
A part of me really just wants to see him, but I know that no matter what, this is going to hurt.
