Long story short, he was emotionally abusive and physically abused me once. I agreed to give him a chance and work on our relationship together. He became much nicer since and did a lot of little nice things for me. However it really isn't enough for me because i just think our relationship is not going anywhere.
I don't feel loved, I dont think he is making enough effort. We are not doing counselling, we are not seeking any help, we are not making big changes to our relationship for the better. And even when he was really nice to me, I thought about the way he treated me. Deep down I know he is improving but I can't get over the old days how he put me down and made me feel miserable.
I still cry every week, sometimes everyday. And finally I had to sleep with another man to get rid of the pain. So naive and immature right? But the pain is killing me i really dont know how to distract myself. I told him about this and I think we are over.
I want to know how people move forward after being hurt by an abusive partner. I still love him very much but i probably care more about my health than our relationship. I am just so sick of this i want to be loved again :(
