You put up with his behaviour for a long time, you stayed even though you where not happy, this shows that you have very low self esteem and you just settled for this relationship because you felt you would not be able to do any better. You need to take some time out for yourself now and build friendships and learn to trust people that way for a start. give yourself some time before you look to date again. Go out with your friends and do things that make you feel good and will build your confidence. Once you have learned to trust someone as a friend it can make it a little easier to trust someone in a relationship. If you feel you cannot do this by yourself then go and talk to a therapist about your issues and they may be able to help you. Good luck.
