My ex was emotionally abusive. He'd break up with me and get back together with me very regularly. We did this dance for about 3 years and I kept holding on to him thinking he'd change and he'd love me properly.
He was quite a bit older than me and very successful so I thought he knew what he wanted in life. On one occasion we got back together, I was quite reluctant to do so as he'd been quite awful to me and then when I agreed, he dumped me the next day. We got back together a few months later and I discovered that he'd been still seeing another woman the whole time so I finally left him.
I have become obsessed with looking at the OW profiles on social media and I can't get my head around why he treated me the way he did and how he abandoned me. It's been two years and I still think of him daily. When will I stop and when will I get better? He seems to have moved on perfectly fine. I know I shouldn't look at his fb and the like but I can't help it, pathetic I know. He and OW have since broken up but I can't seem to move on or let go. Why?
Thanks for reading.
