[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. [b]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[/b]. 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] +2. I’d like to co-sign on the bolded above, please consider this with the most recent pp who said broken attracts broken. It’s very true. I left a VA relationship and the first guy I dated before being healed, had horrible abusive tendencies and was a complete asshole. I left him as I got therapy and realized I was about to make the exact same mistake again. Even tho you were a victim you have to protect yourself from being a future victim by healing from the pain, and finding new parts of yourself that healthy people will compliment. Healthy people can eyeball broken from a million miles away. If you can’t afford a therapist, so self help therapy with books, journals, instructional channels on YouTube. There are a lot of resources now. Good luck op[/quote]
