Why is it, that after every time I had sex with him I felt dirty and stressed out?

I would race home to shower wanting his touch off of me. I'd want to shove food in my face to relax and unwind.

That's not healthy is it?

No. It is not.

I hope to never evoke that reaction from a lover!!

Your reaction wasn't unhealthy, the relationship was.

@JimboSaturn I'm with you on this, for the most part.

Idk her story, but it could be trauma response after a previous relationship, or being assaulted.

ScreamingFox: whatever the reason was/is for that reaction, I hope you find a way to be able to have a normal relationship again.

I've never been in a situation like that, so I won't pretend to understand. But I do believe in you and your ability to move forward 💜
