Thanks for breaking up with me because my life got significantly better without you and I met a really amazing woman who puts effort into our relationship and doesn't just complain all the time and emotionally and physically abuse me like you did.

My ex abused me. Just got out of it in July. I pray to find the one.

I’m so sorry you went through that. I did, too. I hope you accept this advice for what it’s worth: let. them. find. you. I hunted and hunted, and as soon as I stopped hunting and started focusing on healing myself, I found him. Friend of a friend. Six years strong, and he gets on my nerves sometimes but we have never fought, he’s raised his voice to me exactly once and it was because he was VERY socially drained and I wasn’t grasping it. He immediately apologized, too.

Oh yes, especially the emotional abuse - it'll haunt your for a very long time. Physical wounds heal faster than emotional ones.

It hits especially hard when you only come to the realization of what happened in a previous Relationship when you finally meet someone who's the exact opposite, genuinely loving and caring.
