If you’re happy in a relationship now and weren’t before

[Itwaasuchalongtimeago]

How does it feel?

For example, if you were married/in a relationship for years and unhappy, then finally left/split and then met someone amazing, how does it feel? Do you see how unhappy you really were, do you regret not getting out much earlier?

Any positive experiences.,that other relationships/men can come along and you can be really happy?

Yes I was with my exH from the age of 14 to 35. He was physically and mentally abusive, to the point that there was virtually nothing left of me. I think he was mentally ill and naively I thought I could fix him by loving him. Eventually I left him.
I'm nearly 60 now and have been with my DH for 25 years. He's the kindest person I've ever met and I can't believe I put up with the abuse for do long. I'm very very happy now and still can't believe my luck.

Yes married to a knob who treated me and kids like shit. I didn’t think I was worth much more than the pittance he gave me.

Now married to someone who honestly thinks the world of me and tells me every day. I feel supported, valued, loved… and so very lucky!!! Every single day.

when I was first single after splitting with my exam I was so worried I would never find love… I was so wrong.
