But recently my abusive ex has been back in touch and has told me he wants me back. I told him I was happier than I've ever been and that I was a fool to stay with him so long. When my current boyf asked if he'd ever tried to contact me, I said 'no'. My ex doing this brought back some awful memories for me, and though it sounds selfish, I knew I would have to talk to him about how awful I felt if I told him the truth. I didn't want him to worry, was I wrong to lie?

Hi there,
Sounds like you have moved on and very happy with your present boyfriend, it is understandable that you did not want to worry your boyfriend, just remember a problem shared is a problem halved, and getting reassurance from your boyfriend will help you to put a closure on the time you spent with your ex.
Total honesty is the best policy and will make your relationship even stronger, it is down to you if you tell him about the recent contact with your ex, but any future contact feel at ease to tell your new man.
I wish you luck and a happy future
Ps if this is helpful then i am happy for you.
