Long story short, I thought I would marry my xdp. We were together 3 years, from when I was 20, and he was in a certain position of power when we got together and 10 years older than me. We broke up around 5 months ago, it destroyed my heart, I moved out, but I am fine now, I had to be. I wouldn;t say to anyone in RL that he was emotionally abusive but I posted on here and was told repeatedly he was - I now believe this - he was manipulative, made me basically hate myself, told me he left me because i cheated on him (I didnt) but it turned out he had repeatedly. Because of this I am a tad 'damaged' emotionally - on top of losing my other very young and a whole heap of MH stuff when younger than I'm now on top of it.
Current issue - new DP of 3 months is genuinely wonderful. He could not be more differentofr treat me better. He told me last week he loved me, he knows that 3 months is early to say it but he feels it and I can see why because i'm getting there myself. He is sweet, beautiful, family orientated, patient and very open and honest. The problem is he is my housemate - we moved in together without knowing each other (4 people in the house, all mid 20s in London) and we hooked up in a 'no strings' way after 2 weeks - a week later we confessed mutual feelings and he's given me no reason to not trust him whatsoever - but the 2 weeks before he brought 3 girls home. He says he was single, had not had a girlfriend for 4 years (after one for 4 years that he never cheated on) because he never liked anyone enough but he adores me and would never hurt me ever. I am terrified and don;t trust him becasue of this first 2 weeks and my ex. Please give me a kick up the arse or tell me my fear is correct before i ruin it/get hurt.
