My break up with my boyfriend is still eating at me!

Tagged as: Breaking up<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (13 March 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 March 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I dated this one guy for a year and three and a half months and he would physically abuse me on a weekly basis and verbally abuse me on a daily basis.

We broke up April of 2008 and a week later, I started dating another guy; that relationship lasted just under three months. But the guy treated me so much better than my ex did... and I screwed it up. Then on the first of July, I went back to the first guy and everything after that changed. The physical and verbal abuse was enough to make anyone want to commit suicide if you didn't get out as quickly as I did.

It's now been a little over three months since what our mutual friends like to call, "The Final Break-Up". But the fact that I went to another guy so quickly after the first break-up is still eating me alive and it's been nearly a whole year since it happened! And just to clarify, I have never cheated on anyone in my life and never will. But my relationship with the other guy was just so... quick. I'm not really sure what to think of it but when I do think ABOUT it, I cringe.

What's wrong with me?

It's called rebound.

It was an ego boost that you want after you split up with someone. You suddenly have all this freedom and want to see if you are still capable of attracting someone.

Stop thinking about the past and start thinking about the future. You've now learned not to stay with a guy who is horrible to you. So take that and find a guy who is actually willing to be nice to the girl he is with.

Good Luck!! xx
