Is it normal to be really angry at an ex?

Angry to where you want to beat them up.

Long story short I had an ex boyfriend who harassed me online. We were together for 2 years and when we broke up he kept saying mean things in hopes that i will get back with him. I had to inform the police to get him to stop. I've been upset because he was the only friend I made in high school and had I known he was that kind of guy I wouldn't have been with him.

Ive also had nightmares where I would yell "get away from me!" to him.

Is It Normal?

  • I'll tell u what, I wish I never let my highschool sweetheart slip through my fingers no matter what disagreements we had. Things always seem so petty from the outside months and years later. She left town one night because we got into a huge fight and never came home. Maybe ur ex just wants some closure. Idk... Wounds left open usually become septic. But once the cops are called and restraining orders made, it's kind of too late for anything.

  • Completely normal and sometimes it takes a long time for the anger to go away.Like all things in life it will eventually pass.

    Do not make the mistake of comparing this guy to any other guy you meet as he is the exception of the rule and not the norm.

    Wish you happiness in the very near future.

  • Completely normal. From just before I turned 15 till just before I turned 17, I dated a complete douchebag. Lied compulsively, flirted with other girls, hid things away from me, swore at me and degraded me constantly.

    When I finally broke up with him after 2 years, we went back to school after our summer holiday and he began telling the entire school shit about me that was far from true. I wanted to skin him alive. It wasn't enough that he stole two years from me, cheated on me, but now he had to make my school life miserable too.

    I got over my anger a long time ago, and I'm a better person for it. Holding onto anger towards someone else only destroys you from the inside out, so don't give him that kind of satisfaction. I'm with the love of my life now for over a year and I couldn't be happier. It will happen for you too, it just takes time.
