You're posting too.

It wasn't 3 years ago. It was 2 years ago.

I've already said everything I've needed to say on Twitter about the emotional abuse and how it lead to the physical abuse.

[name redacted] has made his own confessions in regards to how he manipulated my emotions to keep me under control.

You dated him for 2-3 months. I dated him for almost 2 years. You do not know him the way I do. It takes at least 2 years to really get to know a person you’re dating. You’re still in your 20s and probably haven’t had a relationship that long based on your behavior and age. You can’t seem to move on. I’m really sorry your heart got broken and things didn’t work out. Believe me, I’ve had many heartbreaks and sometimes I didn’t act sane when it was hard to let go. Maybe Alex was your first love? I’m ashamed of my behavior with one of my exes, too. I created a fake number like you, but not several as you did, and it took me maybe up to 6-12 months to finally move on.., not 2 years… not to compare, I mean we are still in the midst of a pandemic. One day your heart will heal. Give it time. And forgive Alex in your head, not for him, but for your healing heart

Once again you toss out these hot terms/hashtags like “abuse,” “metoo.” Alex does get depressed and moody sometimes, but he had never laid his hands on me nor emotionally abused me. I don’t mean to negate what you believe you went through. But my relationship with him was not abusive. It was sweet, affectionate, and loving, and we made each other laugh, and we both felt completely comfortable to let ourselves be who we are without pretense or trying. We’re both goofy and fun, like to explore, and love art and nature, dancing, exploring, traveling, and just being together gave us such peace and joy! One day, you’ll find true love that matches you and doesn’t feel like abuse, too. We still fought, but all couples do. And I admit I have a bad temper lol, which is why I’m partially to blame for why things got out of hand, but I’m working on it. No one is perfect. There is no perfect love, just loving someone perfectly, and knowing that when the love is reciprocated, you’ll work through the hard things. Work on yourself instead of trying to change and ruin others, and you’ll be much happier, and attract another great guy! You seem like a smart, creative gal. Let 2022 be your year to focus on nurturing you

Alex sold me the same story of “working on love” when he wanted to control me. This is not an uncommon theme amongst abusers.

Alex often spoke of this pure unattainable love that we had, but claimed it never existed once he realized he would never be able to control me to his liking.

My love life prior to Alex is none of your business and has no bearing on this situation and I can hear Alex’s own words echoed in your speech, which highly suspect is actually Alex.

I was in my 30s and so was Alex when we were dating.

I've been in significantly longer relationships than 2 years.

It doesn't take 2 years to know what he did to me was assault and abuse.

You're crazy. I am the girl. I'm sorry Alex didn't love you back and it didn't work out. Please get over him and move on. You will not find love if you obsess over a past love. YOu're wasting your energy. And this is me, I am the girl who filed the report. Stop trying to gaslight me
