We have been broken up for 6 months now. My decision. He was emotionally abusive to me for 8 years making me feel crap about myself and every single aspect of my life. Since we've broke up he's had a total personality overhaul but I still have no interest in being in a relationship with him.
Neither of us can afford to move out just yet which is an absolute disaster as he's still taking the break up really bad. He's still somehow got a hold on me and I still freeze up whenever he around which I know is no way to live. It looks like I'm going to have to be the one to leave but I'm very empathetic towards his feelings. How do I stop myself from feeling absolutely terrible? Lately I feel like his mental health nurse as all he does is drink, smoke weed, cry about me and threatens to kill his self. I obviously still really deeply care for him but I feel like I'm constantly walking on egg shells, more so now than the past 8 years.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice or has been in a similar situation? Thanks x
