Hi, I’m new to this forum thing, and I’m also new to what I’ve just experienced. I got together with my ex partner in (detail removed by Moderator), and we moved in together (detail removed by Moderator) months later. Everything was perfect before we moved in together, and then he started to become a completely different person. He’d always talk down to me, make me feel inferior and constantly disregarded my mental health. He cheated on me (detail removed by Moderator) and I decided I’d had enough. He was constantly making me feel guilty for things, like if I didn’t do the dishes as I had a bad anxiety evening, or I hadn’t done washing as it took me a while to motivate myself that Morning. He also claimed he couldn’t cook, and made me cook the dinners. When it came to flowers, ‘why should I buy you flowers?’ Was always the conversation.
Fast forward (detail removed by Moderator) months, and I moved back home but have had constant stress and anxiety from him. I can’t even talk to someone new because I’m scared they’ll be the same towards me. How can I trust again?
