Tine agony aunt5 years is too long of a time just to throw away after a few weeks. So it may take a long time to get over so all you have to do is be patient. You must obviously know that this guy aint good for you, after all you did the good thing and left him. But maybe you are just hurt because of the way he has reacted. Trashing your flat has obviously had a knock on effect in you and with you cutting all contact from him, you dont speak to him therefore you dont know what he's up to etc. But this is a good thing and i congradulate you in doing so! This is such a hard thing for some people to do, I have known girls who have stayed with their partners who react the same way that your did, they are too scared to leave. So well done, and although it may seem as though you'll never get over this guy and will never find anyone better, you will. There is someone out there for everyone, it may take afew weeks maybe even a few months buthe will come and he will treat you and your surroundings with the respect that you deserve. So stop sitting around thinking about him all the time and get yourself out there!

I know you want to hate him. We would all feel that way. if we endured the horrid abuse, you have. Instead you still feelings of 'love'...right? I think what you need to do is fully realize what you feel for this man is not love but a desperate attachment on your part, dear. This is what is cemented you emotionally, into this destructive relationship with an evil abusive man. So stop thinking that you love him..you are using this as a rationalization for tolerating more of this crap when in fact, you shouldn't. You need to to change how you view yourself in order to gain the courage to move ahead, without him. When you have recovered from all this, you will find a good quality man who has similar attitudes, morals, values and life goals as you have. That is what makes for a balanced, healthy, love relationship. You don't have this with this man who abused you. You never will. He's a broken, sad man who needs intensive counseling to deal with the issues that made him this way, in the first place. Until you develop yourself and become a strong woman this will hurt like hell, for awhile. But it's the first step in a much healthier direction. So pick yourself up, and realize you are now experiencing freedom...the freedom to do something healthy for yourself and learn from this life experience. The choice is up to you

sleepysly agony aunthi there, when you love someone and i mean really love them nothing they do seems wrong, even though it seems you had the courage to move away it dont seem like you really except that he is no good. love takes time to heal. the best thing is to continue as you are the worst thing would be to see him.remember that if he really loved you back he would not have done what he did. stay strong......

eyeswideopen agony auntYou are suffering from all the trauma and the sudden changes. Time is your best friend at this point. You will slowly start feeling better. You did the absolutely right thing about your situation. Do not weaken and try to get in touch with the brute, the next time he might do far worse. Hang in there, each day will be easier.
