[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry this happened. What time have you taken to reflect on why you were drawn to your first husband and what your perceptions of a good relationship were? I found that the work I did with a therapist after my divorce was essential to having any healthy relationship post divorce. My ex was a narcissist jackass, and only afterwards was I able to figure out how to recognize that and advocate for myself. Too many times in my marriage I ignored red flags and didn't question them. I was hell bent on not having that happen again. [/quote]

I spent much time in therapy as well and have an equally strong desire to avoid a repeat of my ex.

The friend of my most recent ex only told me after the fact that I dodged a bullet. According to his friend the guy I was dating is a control freak that continues to believe people are "his" long after a relationship is over. That his anger isn't something to be messed with. He was actually scared when he once invited me to a group event and my BF screamed at him. BF said it was a joke, friend said that there was no joke at all. None of the control freak behaviors were overtly expressed to me, he exerted this behind the scenes. It was almost as if to keep from being mean to me he was mean to everyone else.[/quote]
