I think GG is seeing him in his true light and facing that realization, which is bloody hard when you loved someone. All she wanted was a bit of support for what she is going thro, not to have it pulled apart and fought over . jmo

morgan5: yes it is, constantly being told you are useless stays with you for a long time
yes and perhaps if the OP, sees that enough people are appalled that she was in that relationship ,then it may sink in that she is being 1) Abused 2) Manipulated 3) Used by the abuser
and 4 in a relationship which is very unhealthy
Sometimes a person can blame themselves for the feelings and emotions of others , Galway needs to know that it is him , the Ex, that has the problems not her.
Hers was the relationship from hell and she needs to understand that IMO, so as not to replicate it ,EVER.

yum_yum: a pig is an animal that rolls around in the mud and eats sloppy food.
A person that belittles a person in any way they can is an Abuser a bully a shallow person.
They do anything to make the other person loose control over there feelings and leave them with little respect for themselves thinking that the person saying all these bad things must be right.
Well done to this girl to get out when she did and not fuel this abuser for years like some people do.
She is a very brave girl and should look to a bright future ahead of her.

thats the truest thing posted on this board. i mean, really, everyones advice has been incredibly appreciated, but i've now heard so much that its getting very emotional, even confusing for me. ive had alot of time to think, and absorb everyones comments and now im very sure that whatever lables we can put on this man, he's not right for me. theres no way i can put the full story up on here, for one it would be pages long, and secondly it would absolutely tear me apart to have to analyze everything to the point where its broken into sections and diveded into right and wrong. and even THEN it would only be my side of events. the only way i can cope with this, is to stay away from him, dont let myself be emotionally or physically vulnerable to him, and make sure that i dont let someone have such an influence on my life again. whether he knew ot or not, thats what it comes down to. he's had a huge impact on my life. especially on how i view men, intimacy, appreciation and love. and even though this post has reduced me to tears, im still so grateful that people have had the open mindedness to write what they really think. it genuinely has helped me. so thank you very much guys x

I just get uncomfortable making emotive statements about someone I know nothing about.
I have never stood up for the guy's behaviour. I just would rather keep an open mind.
I wish GG all the best for the future..

Hi Patal
nobody is being emotive
it only gets that way when personal experience is used
I think Yum Yum is being anything other than emotive .
She has given her opinion , as is allowed .
