I was in a physically and mentally abusive relationship for four years, left it, and thrust myself into a realtionship with a long time guy friend of mine. He is the polar opposite of my ex. He is loving and warm and nurturing. IT took me a while to get over my ex. But I am so happy I did. The mistake I made recently was looking him up on myspace and seeing pictures of his new girlfriend. Apparently she was a dancer for 7 years or something. It didnt make me miss him, it grossed me out and made me feel dispensable. I reminded myself how good my life is right now though, and how good it feels to be wrapped in the arms of a man who builds me up not tears me down. Thats what its about. ITs going to take time to get your self-esteem back up after what your ex did to you. Just to be in a new relationship, where I wasnt treated like shit was hard because I kept telling myself I wasnt worthy of his love and kindness and that I was too ugly or weird for him and NONE of that is true!
Is it normal to still miss my abusive ex
