If you can, see a therapist for a session or two. It often helps to sit down face to face with someone and talk about how you feel, and it's a therapists business to help you move on. Hope you are feeling better, and as each day moves on, I pray so too will you. :)

Dear, he did you a BIG favor.

Let him be this next girl's problem.  Trust me, he will treat her just the same or even worse.  

"I feel so depressed, I feel broken, I feel like rubbish, I think what's the point, ect..I'm feeling really down and I don't know what to do help please x".........Thank the heavens above you got out of this intact and nothing worse happened and explore why you think he is worth being distraught over.  You need to realize you deserve better.

That's just terrible, what an absolute scumbag...
I'm going through a break-up and the guy I was dating started online dating again as soon as I told him I had fallen in love with him , so some guys are really messed up.
How old is this guy? Your way better off without him if he was abusing you, your not worthless! I've felt the same, and the loneliness is hard to get through but focus on yourself, do what you love, see friends and family and it really helps to talk to other people.
Also, try walking or jogging, I've found that it really helps my stress levels!

Did I say relatively sure, NO no no, Be absolutely sure that he is the type of man that deserves your physical love.

I believe that you should make a list of the types of qualities that you want in a boyfriend. Don't jump into bed before you are relatively sure that he is the type of man that deserves your physical love. Otherwise it's an exercise in futility. I agree that you should delete this jerks info, smart advice Jnx_777. Feeling sorry for him for not being able to have a good relationship, for whatever happened to him along the way that has made this his life, Feel sorry for the girl that he is with, and hope that she finds freedom from him as you did. Forgive and let it go. Know that you are better off without him, and for learning a valuable lesson. Now you will be moreso able to develop a path that control as to what type of man you need and want. We all learn from our mistakes, and this is a learning experience for you, Nothing more. God bless you honey, and your future. You're in the driver's seat. Smile. Be happy. You are free of bondage and ready to move on and up.

just be thankful you got out early.  some of us have tolerated that treatment for YEARS and the longer you are in it, the harder it is to get out of it.  
do you have a history of being abused?  like an abusive childhood, etc.  sometimes we seek what is familiar.  if so, hurry to counseling and try your best not to listen to what he is doing or following him on social media, etc.  delete his contact info out of your phone so you never drunk call or text him.
i am happy you got out while you can.

You're not worthless, truly. You're just a girl who is kind and trusting and who unfortunately got taken advantage of by a total jerk and headcase. It's actually a good thing that he already hooked up with someone else because now he it's her problem not yours anymore. You should feel sorry for her cause you know exactly what she's in for with him. That's no relationship, it's just total slavery and you deserve WAY better than that. Please don't see this as a bad thing because he is truly a horrible, evil, very bad person and you are SO much better off without him in your life. The fact that he moved on so quickly shows you how worthless HE it's because he can't even be alone for 5 minutes without attaching himself to some poor girl who will suffer just as much, if not more, than you did. His behavior will likely escalate in a bad way and you're very lucky to not have to be around when that happens.

Oh dear.  I'm sorry you went through this, but hopefully you learned a VERY valuable lesson...that WE are the ones who dictate how others treat us.  Set the bar VERY high for yourself in that regard.

Who cares what he's doing now...he's a total jerk abuser.  Not to say that you still don't hurt, but instead, count your lucky stars you got OUT of this horribly abusive relationship.  Many don't.  The way you feel won't last forever, once you start working on YOU, building your self esteem and self confidence.  You can do that by getting involved with family, friends, hobbies, etc.  If you need to, seek out some therapy to help you deal with how you're feeling.

The ex though?  Ancient history honey, and for good reason.  Do NOT try to contact him or get back with him...that's the worst thing you could do.  Very best to you.
