How did you deal with it and what did you learn? Did
It change you and how?

I dealt with it by dumping her and it did change me. Now I don't trust women very easily. But I think she was more like the straw that broke the camels back, not the cause all on her own. I don't think you can meet someone or experiance something without changing at least a little bit.

I had to either learn how to swim or simply drown. I learnt to swim.
It was a tremendous process for me, it got me on the path of intuitive and personal growth, spirituality, and so on. I've never felt better about myself than I do now and I wouldn't have, if it hadn't been for that seriously abusive relationship.
I do know, that hell on earth does exist.
I've forgiven him for all he's done, well, almost 100%, and I can be grateful for this enormous lesson, as for the first time in my life I'm finally me.
And the fact that I have forgiven him, in spite of, tells me that I have indeed grown tremendously as a person. I consider that a beautiful goodbye gift that he doesn't even know of, cause it's a gift from me to me.

Well, I was in a very difficult and complicated relationship but I don't like to say that it was my "worst" because I wouldn't have kept taking her back if it had been all bad and we did have our good times and she was special to me.

I told her in the end that if she didn't want to be with me to just f**k off and leave me alone then. That's pretty much been my attitude with women since then.

With my right hand.

I got even by learning how to be ambidextrous.

They all sucked, so I can't pick just one. And I learned that I have ****ed up taste in men....

Best run through a tenderizer and sauteed with red wine and onions.
Roasted slowly at 450 degrees for about 6 hours.

I'd rather set them on fire and roast marshmallows in the flames.

So true... Leaving the person is the thing to do if they are doing wrong but inside you will be changed forever

Awesome that you got out.. And great that u were able to forgive its something I'm not sure I can ever do but I hope one day I can to free myself of it
