I left a 3 year abusive relationship last month. He was extremely emotionally abusive by rubbing other women in my face, telling me why other exes are better than me and putting down my achievements whilst accusing me of cheating for not being free to meet and for flirting everytime I spoke to another male. He also would give long periods of silent treatment if I told him to stop. I told him enough and if these continued I would be done. He didn't stop so I left. He said he has trust issues as his ex before me was abusive but a clares law request revealed he has done this to other women (plural) and has a history of harassment and physical violence.
Even after I carried out leaving him he would text me repeatedly so I had to change my number and I've gone a month now but just want tips on how to get myself back together and resist the urge to text. It's not the first time I've tried to leave and he did turn up at my house once driving past it (I never knew until he told me). Its been about 2 weeks since his last attempt so I'm hoping it's done now but he has a history of harassing women for months and one woman foe over a decade.
