But after I left him about two months ago I started talking to this guy,
He's the type of guy I would have always imagined myself with and I started to really like him.
After the past year I desperately wanted to feel wanted.
There was passion, something my ex never showed for me. He was kind, he was sweet.
This guy who I thought was perfect
I feel really hurt.

Have you ever utilized the counseling sources for battered women and or utilized their support groups? Sounds like your first boyfriend left you feeling starved emotionally and physically, as well as mentally. I liken the starvation to world hunger, in a way. Replenishing nutrients cannot happen quickly, needs to be done gradually. Or if there were toxins in your diet, need to take time to cleanse, before getting back to healthy living.
A woman fresh out of a violent relationship, is at her most vulnerable.
The better way, to avoid such a cyclical pattern, is to take time to sort through things.
