I had been with my long term partner who was very abusive emotionally and physically with me and we had no intimacy together for many years. I had very low self esteem and it took me along time to leave.
I left a few months ago which has been a major struggle but I have managed to push through.
Last night, I met up with an old flame, someone who I had been seeing as friends and chatting too. We ended up having great sex which was something I had considered for a few weeks and really wanted to do.
Afterwards though, I felt really sick, guilty and tearful. Like I had cut my ex fully out of my life or that I had cheated. It was so weird.
Is this normal? What can i do to stop this?
I really like the guy and dont want my past to effect my future.
