Do you think ALL MEN CHEAT? And what's wrong with believing it?
There are a lot of people who believe that all men cheat. This belief
has a stifling effect on single women and young girls. I believe the
effects are unique enough to be classified, as it's own mental disease.
I call this disease Post Traumatic Relationship Stress Disorder. This disorder is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to
one or more traumatic events in a relationship caused by something like
the cheating of a man. These events are so traumatic that they cause
psychological and sometimes physical harm to the person. These events
can be experienced first, second and third hand. This traumatic event
can be known or unknown to the person consciously. It is a severe
and ongoing emotional reaction toward dating and can prevent the victim
from developing a healthy relationship. So, to help people who maybe
suffering from this disease and don't know it I have listed what I believe are
the major symptoms.
TOP 10 Symptoms of Post Traumatic Relationship Stress Disorder.
1. Negatively stereotyping the category they associate with their trauma like believing ALL MEN cheat.
2. Only date a certain type of person because of an experience with another type.
3. Do not want to date because of a past experience.
4. Practices a strict dating or marital structure because of a past experience not because they were raised with that practice.
5. Has frequent and overwhelming suspicions of people they are dating.
6. Has a difficulty falling in love or developing a relationship.
7. Has hostility toward the subject of their dating and their traumatic event.
8. Suffers from flashbacks and nightmares when encountering dates and events associated with their trauma.
9. Extreme changes in overall character and health after traumatic event.
10. Extreme changes in personal life philosophy after traumatic event.
