writes:My ex bf was emotionally abusive and very narrcissistic. He was a very sarcastic person and would never show any sympathy, he would just be sarcastic. I have met a new guy and I like him but part of me feels like he reminds me of my abusive ex. He has a sarcastic side to him so I am kind of scared he will be like him. Am I worrying about too much or should I give him a go?

 watch his behavior and see how he is don't judge every book the same by it's color give it time and if it repeats leave him and move on don't stay and get hurt.

 Sounds cliche, but I would definitely watch how he treats his friends and family- this can give you a good idea if he has respect and empathy for others. Sarcasm can catch you off guard but it doesn't have to mean he's abusive at all. We do tend to attract the same types of people though, especially if we've done nothing to increase our awareness by learning from mistakes. Take care.
