I'm nearly out of the woods from an emotionally abusive relationship which really took me inside out.
One question I still haven't resolved is- are these people always abusive?
If not, that would imply it was me/ the circumstances.
I'm still feeling a huge loss of confidence in myself and this is a doubt I return to.
I know that he cheats, but presumably that alone is not abusive.
Mainly I feel great relief it's gone but also a void, and a lot of confidence loss that is coming out in funny ways I didn't expect.
Because EA is so subtle sometimes it is almost like you doubt your reality/ have imagined how bad it was.
Anyway, was it me or do they behave like this with everyone? Or has he run off as his best self with a new partner?
