New relationship after abusive relationship.

  • Thread Starter

Hi guys,
I was stuck in a very emotionally abusive relationship for just over a year, and continued to have problems from him for at least a year after. Eventually he decided to move town so since then I haven't heard from him and been able to move on with my life. My only concerns now is how do I maintain my current relationship after being in such a damaging relationship.

I met my current boyfriend without the intention of taking things further as I didn't feel ready. However after a few months we decided to keep things casual and things progressed from there and we have now been together for 5 months. I have no question about his loyalty to me, or that fact that he is kind, calm and just generally lovely. But I can't seem to get my ex and what he did out of my head.

For example, I find myself being paranoid all the time such as when he goes out or if he is just being quiet I find that I question what he might be doing or where he is. This is not me at all, I trust him but I instantly think about the times my ex would be out cheating on me and manipulating. I feel so negative all the time, he could send me a text and I could interpret it into something different, imagining that he is being like my ex and he isn't.

This negativity and anxiety is just exhausting, how do I move on from all of the abuse and just enjoy my new relationship. Is it to soon to be with someone?
Thanks.
