I agree. You're in love with "what might have been" when it never was that way. Nothing would have changed had you and your husband remained together, and you deserve better than being treated badly. You don't need a boyfriend to complete yourself. Start doing things you truly enjoy and are passionate about. You will make many new friends while re-building your self confidence. You are still his victim and unable to move on, break lose from his grip and start living your life......you don't want to miss a moment of it. You will find love again and with a man who treats you they way you need and want to be treated.
Think of what you want out of life and go for it! You will find happiness and peace again, so decide today that he will no longer pull the strings and refuse to be his victim any longer.
I wish you all the best!
Probably you aren't in love with your real ex, but your "dream ex," that ideal guy that you wanted him to be, in an ideal marriage that you wanted to happen. Please think it over. If you are in love with an ideal that does not really exist, you're just in love with a fantasy in your head. Do you have control over that? Yes.
