A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Where to start.

My husband and I are seperated. He has moved interstate and there is very little chance of our marriage being fixed. It wase a very very painful seperation with both of us taking huge hits.

I met a great guy who was supportive and loving to a fault. We started dating and the sex was brilliant... However he was slightly boring and in constant need of reassurance. Now I have just come out of a marriage and was not looking for anything serious and I didn't need to be constanly hand holding anybody.

Enter the bad boy

POLAR oppsite of the nice guy, This guy is an arrogant young man. I know he lies to try and impress me but I just let it slide (agian nothing serious) I am a professional Alpha female so it takes a fair bit to rattle my cage. However this boy can do just that. There is a dangerous side to him that for some reason I find attractive. He is not the hand holding crying type. He is very strong willed and beyond stubborn. I have not told my family or friends about him and I doubt I will. Sex wsith him is rough and often I end up covered in bruises. I am so ashamed of myself every time I am with him... But I can't seem to stop. When he kisses me my stomach flips.

My question is, Why am I attracted to this type of person and is it just a way of me punishing myself for my failed marriage?

Who you are attracted to is whatever kind of person would have helped your ancestors have the healthiest kids.

Who makes you happy in a relationship? That is completely unrelated.
