Is it normal to be extremely attracted to men who treat me badly?
I am a 19 y.o. girl who is mostly drawn to guys who treat me horribly. Over the past year I have been in a booty call/f*ck buddy relationship with a guy four years older than I am. We went to the same college, he was a super senior when I was a freshman, however we still live near each other even though he graduated. He only calls me when horny, barely speaks to me, and I almost always leave after sex because he rarely lets me stay the night. It's the definition of "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" but I keep going back for some reason...it's like I somehow get turned on by being treated like his property. :(
I don't understand it entirely, but I had a very unstable upbringing (mother never in the picture, dad in and out, both addicts) so maybe it's a deep rooted childhood thing? I want to stop but I can't tear myself away from relationships like these (i've had one other like this as well.) Help would be appreciated!
