[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re in your prime, I’m pretty sure there's plenty of guys out there willing to date you. However, I think you should give it’s time before your back in the dating scene.

Verbal abuse is terrible, it messes with your self worth. 
You need to be confident and have a positive sense of worth before dating and starting a new relationship. Therapy and time is the best healer.

If you don’t mind me asking, how bad was the emotional abuse? How frequent was it?[/quote]

It got worse in the past year, REALLY escalated after baby.  It was name calling, “f*ck you” at the top of his lungs while I was holding baby, f*ck off, to insulting my mom- emotionally abusing me by gaslighting, blocking me on his phone etc.  he was abused growing up and I think something with the baby maybe triggered him.  Again, I’m not even really all sad about it- I’m not the type to cry when this happens, but stand up for myself.  Newish mom, awesome baby, we can’t deal with this behavior.  He needs to get out and get help.[/quote]

That’s horrible. You’re very strong for getting out and protecting your baby from his abuse. Wish you the best for the future.[/quote]

Thanks.  Glad I didn’t get a lecture about how still a two parent household is best.  There’s no marriage counseling or self help book for this and absolutely no waiting it out- the sooner the better.  We will be fine, we got this!  It won’t be easy at times (lucky for me she is a VERY easy baby and rarely stresses me out) but we have lots of friends and an incredibly supportive and available mom and sister to support us.  To be honest, I CANT wait for our new life to start with positivity and safety, being without him.[/quote]
