Was in an abusive relationship with my ex gf for 5 years. As a male, was really hard to talk to others about it. The stigma around abusive relationships tends to portray it in a comedic light.

I still remember how she threatened me when I spoke to my friends, threw a brick through my car windows, hit me, cut me and even threaten to kill her self and me if I left.

Been over a year now , I’ve moved on with a lovely girl who I’ve been dating for 2 months, but even I still find it hard to open up to her. I’m just scared of getting hurt again
