I am just seeking advice after an incredibly traumatic dating experience.
This is following my previous thread about dating a man who disappeared and it turned out he was sent to prison.
I am fully aware that I ignored every single red flag about this man but i realise now I have been completed manipulated by this person.
Because of his behaviour, emotional abuse, lies, I carried out a Claire's law request on him and found out he is known for several DV offences against his ex, including coercive control, manipulation and two counts of assault.
After hearing this I was utterly shocked and knew I needed to step away from this relationship but i continued to give this person the benefit of the doubt unfortunately, he made me go insane.
I have only seen him twice after I found this out, even though I knew in my heart it was wrong I couldn't help myself and I know this behaviour is unforgivable in terms of my self worth and self respect.
This weekend I caught him with another woman, he was completely non apologetic about it when I confronted him and the other woman looked gobsmacked. I left and since told him everything I know about him and he denied everything.
This man has completely traumatised me by lying, gaslighting and destroying my mind.
I understand I have massively messed up here and I don't need that reinforced but I am left feeling that this just isn't right and that I need to do something about it. This man is dangerous and shouldn't be allowed to abuse any more women.
Does anyone know if it is possible to report emotional abuse especially considering his record? This isn't about getting revenge, this is about protecting other people from this person.
