Scarlett513 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I went through absolute hell with my ex. He treated me horribly and pretty much ripped me to shreds over the course of our year long on and off relationship. Eventually I broke it off for good, blocked his phone number, and am very happy with life without him (so much nicer not to have someone yelling at me all the time, lol). It's been two months and I've met someone new. We've been out a few times and things are going well for the time being. The problem is I feel like damaged goods. I don't want my ex back but I still feel hurt by him and the way he treated me. I really want to give the new guy a fair chance, and also be open to the possibility of finding a healthy relationship. I'm just having a hard time opening up and forgetting all the insults, criticisms, etc from my ex. Doesn't make it easier that they both have the same name. How do I forget all of it? Maybe I shouldn't be dating yet anyway...
USMCHokie Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Maybe I shouldn't be dating yet anyway... This is a very astute observation...
D-Lish Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Maybe you shouldn't be dating if you still feel so affected by your ex. It's only been 2 months, so things are obvious still a little raw for you. When things aren't right in my world and I try and date, I always end up attracting/choosing the wrong person. It's really hard to make healthy choices when you don't feel healthy yourself.
