I can't stop thinking about my ex, its been a month since out three year relationship ended (with one breakup inbetween) Now I know what people may think when I say this but he was very manipulative and emotionally abusive. Even so I loved him more then anything. I would of given him the moon if he asked.    
    
The breakup was messy, I got f*cked over and litterally robbed by him. It's taken a while but they crying (for most of it) has stopped. I picked up the courage and energy to have a night out, there I met a really nice guy. Nothing stood out too much about him but he made me laugh and seemed kind. We've been texting since we met (about a week ago) and hes asked me if I want to go see a film with him. I decided what the hell? And went for it. The date is on Friday and I feel like I cant do it, my ex is on my mind and I'm just not feeling up to dating again. I'm trying to deal with repairing myself but deep down I want my ex back. I honestly would give 10years of my life for one year with him. I can't explain why after what hes put me through, but when he was good and it was good the relationship was perfect.    
    
I feel bad for this guy too, It's not fair for me to see a film with him if my ex will be on my mind for the whole of it. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I'm never going to get over this and be ready again.
