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
