it appears either my ex has reproduced himself all over the country and is sleeping with more women then even i gave him credit for or we have all experienced some really bad moments at the hands of someone pretty rotten so.. what was your worst experience BUT rather then jsut bitch tell us all how you came back from it and share some positive stories about how you learned and move on so we can all pick up some tips and know there is hope for us yet!!!

I was in a relationship at university with a man who treated me very badly. He was a Muslim (I am not) and so his relationship with me (a two year relationship) was not known to his parents. He used to tell me that he would have to break up with me but then proceeded to come to my place for sex and alcohol. I was young and stupid so didn't know any better.

The good side of it is that one of his friends (who became one of my friends too), a year later moved into a student house and they let a non-student live there too. This non-student got on well with my friend and I eventually got together with this non-student! We have been together for over ten years, are very happily married and have a wonderful 9 month old DD.

I don't regret my relationship or naiveity with the previous chap as, had I not known him, I would probably have not met my wonderful DH.

3 years of my life with a solipsistic, alcoholic, depressive, obsessive ( or SADO ).

This was the worst kind of relationship that jeopardised my mental health AND my credit rating.

But I got strong enough eventually to throw him out, but he did want to be paid off as he left.

Some men should seriously come with a health warning!

Yes, as I put in a special order for man without personality disorders and it worked.

When SADO left I had the most extreme feeling of euphoria that I have ever experienced. Lasted a good six months.
The only thing I needed to question was 'what the fuck was all that about?'
But even when its at its worst you know you can't be like that for ever.
And all those 'what should I do?' posts know it too.
