depressed

Never let a man push you to the edge, or at least let someone pull you back. Every experience we are given is intended to make us stronger, not wreck our egos. You'll bounce back and will be better for it. Just keep in mind that the guy has made his bed and has to lie in it, you don't.

Hang in there.

Sometimes I wonder if history is leading us into a future where the whole idea of relationships becomes just a joke.

I am right there with you. I has been almost a year since I left a verbally abusive relationship that I saw coming when it began 8 years ago. But it was so nice to have someone to come home to. We had fun trips and I LOVED his family!! We live in the same town and I see him out with his new "friend" and it just makes me insane that I put so much into the relationship and still grieve for the relationship and his able to forget it and me and move on so quickly! But I think back to that first day without him last November and how I cried endless but I could BREATH again!!!!
I was finally safe from his hurtful words and endless criticism! I did everything he ever criticised me for...loaded the dishwasher any way I wanted to.. got my water for my shower warm BEFORE I got in... put the toliet paper on the roll under instead of over.. left the refridgerator door open while I poured a glass of juice..you get the picture!! You will survive!! If I can you can. I will go on!! It will be difficut and you will have moments of weakness. But that will only make you stronger!! He can only have power over you if you let him!!
