Being treated like a sex toy, bravery...
V glad Example's gone to the top of the charts – defo one of my favorite DJs - simple but true-to- the-heart lyric's combined with brilliant tunes. Have always liked Florence but not too impressed with her new tune!
Back to the Thursday routine of posting a new "your e-mail of the week" - click on the gold star on my homepage to get in touch.
This week it's from Naomi who's married to a man that treats her like a sex toy. He wants her to flaunt herself and have sex with other men. Check it out for my advice.
TODAY’S TIP: people will do the most extreme things to keep a relationship going - including allowing their partner to bully them into having sex with other people. It's hard to imagine if you haven't been bullied or coerced like that - you think "what the heck? Why would they do something like that for their partner?"
The thing is, a partner that wants to degrade and undermine you usually starts in small ways. They'll first ask you to do something just outside of your comfort zone - like wear a tiny miniskirt. Once you do that for them, they take it to the next step until suddenly you find - like Naomi - you're doing something extreme for them.
It's a slippery slope so set your boundaries early. If you're asked to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable just say No. If this person doesn't respect that - and gives you a hard time and maybe breaks up with you - they weren't worth it in the first place!
Wonderful to see the beautiful smiling face of grave Katie Piper the acid attack girl who's had 80 operations to rebuild her face - I wish her so much luck and happiness. Hope I could find half her bravery in such traumatic circumstances.
Take care, Pam x
