A male reader, anonymous, writes (26 October 2007):

"Trust a lifetime to build a second to destroy". If you distance yourself you will stop thinking about the past. If you remain close you will continue to think about it.

This man has persistently treated you with no respect, you have been used as a doormat, and it started the very first time you accepted his behaviour.

If this as changed you have to try and forgive, but can you ever forget?

Youre very young and have chance to start afresh, with a new person and a blank sheet, build trust and have a no tolerance attitude towards bad behaviour.

erm you need to stop dwelling in the past for your relationships sake

do you want him to leave ? because if you keep dwelling he will get frustrated and it will strain your relationship

also if you live in the past the present will pass you by hun

so start living in the present and it will be easier to forgive the past , you wont ever forget it , but you may come to terms with it

take care
