I separated from my ex because he was lazy, verbally and emotionally abusive. He would call me names and put me down constantly in guise of jokes. He’s just got into a new relationship, and in the beginning he kept telling me how petite she was and how she looked younger because of her small size etc, I was bit , like why do you need to tell me this? Didn’t think much of it, but as time went on he kept dropping hints about her small size . Not long ago he was looking at a house just down the road from me, and I asked him why he needed to be that close? He said “ because if I want to be with the fat one I can, and if I want to be with the petite one I can ..” then laughs and says he’s just joking. This happens all the time, every insult/hurtful comment is a joke to him, I told him to stop talking about her to me and just get on with your life.
I’m just so happy he’s not in my life anymore, that he’s moved out and I can’t help feeling sorry for the new girlfriend. I honestly don’t understand what someone gets out of putting people down? His “jokes” just motivates me to be the best person I can be. Sorry just needed to get this out
