I have been with my partner for five years. Prior to us getting together, I was seeing a guy for about a year who was aggressive, violent, controlling and emotionally abusive.
A few months ago, a mutual friend of me and my ex passed away very suddenly. I found out through Facebook that she had passed away but wasn’t sure the circumstances. She was a lovely, popular girl and it was obviously very sad news to read.
My ex and I work in the same place and have done for many years though we rarely actually see each other. Today I happened to bump into him by chance and we had a brief conversation about what had happened with our mutual friend, nothing more.
I told my partner that I’d chatted to my ex about the friend’s passing and he has gone apeshit. Telling me the abuse can’t have been that bad if I was able to have a conversation with him and I can’t have been that scared of him etc. Said I can’t have been upset about the mutual friend passing away as I didn’t even know her (I only met her on a handful of occasions) so I should not have struck up a conversation.
