3 Types of Baggage Women You Date Might Have

Michelle Knudson
Nearly everyone has some baggage of some sort in their life. You don't want to overlook certain things about a woman that has lots of baggage. Here are three types of baggage that women may have.

Baggage From Sexual Abuse

You may be in a situation where you date someone that was a victim of sexual abuse. If the sexual abuse only occurred by one person through the persons life than the person might be able to work through it with some therapy. When someone has been sexually abused by several different people over their childhood and adult life then you have to deal with someone that needs years of therapy to cope with the damage done. You need to ask yourself if you can deal with someone who needs therapy for years in order to have a normal sex life with you. Don't be surprised if she makes you wear your underwear to bed for a VERY long time cause she doesn't trust you one hundred percent. She might even have sex with you even though she doesn't want to which just makes things ten times worse overall.

Baggage From Physical Abuse

This person may be afraid of you. They may wonder if you are going to do the same thing to them that other people did to harm them. You might end up with someone that has trust issues. She may flinch whenever you make sudden movements around her without telling her first. She may appear to be afraid of you due to a trigger of a previous memory of when someone did hurt her. She may be afraid to tell you why she is afraid of you. She may even do things that she doesn't want to do just so that you won't hit her.

Baggage from Canceled Weddings

She may not believe that you will follow through on actually getting married to her. She may be so paranoid that she will come home to find your stuff gone one day just like an ex might of done towards her. She may even feel abandonment issues that are even worse since she had abandonment issues already from her childhood. She may wonder how to trust you despite you not being the one that canceled a wedding on her once.

The answer to all of this is patience and therapy. Talking therapy can literally save a life in most cases. Patience is important as well while someone is working out their issues.
