DEAR DEIDRE: MY abusive ex treated me like dirt so why am I so heartbroken after I plucked up the courage to leave?
We broke up after five unsettled years together. We did have some happy times, but mostly it was miserable.
He had depression and this made him very hard to live with.
He is 48 and I’m 49. He told me he didn’t want children with me, saying I was a loser.
We both had kids from previous relationships but his ex-partner stopped allowing him access to his child.
From tongue scraping to saying no, here are 12 health trends to try in 2023
I tried to speak to him about our issues but he said he wasn’t into all that “touch and feely stuff”.
I eventually realised we needed to separate.
I have wasted so much precious time. What can I do to make myself feel better?
DEIDRE SAYS: I know you feel you have wasted time but you should be so proud that you made the break from this cruel man.
Give yourself the chance of a fresh start.
