My ex was abusive and we split 10 years ago. We parent fine ok but kids see him sporadically and arent fussed if they see him these days. He has a short fuse so i tend to walk on eggshells and limit contact if im honest. But i do wonder whether anyone would ever want to date me given my backstory. It's been 10 years now - i did date someone briefly in between but he couldnt handle things as he thought we should have nil contact given how he had behaved before. I cant see myself ever meeting anyone who would be ok with this.
