the people think That emotional abuse is as bad as physical abuse, But I can tell You , it leaves scars.

" My relationship with Thom felt like a fairy tale, the kind one sees only in movies. We met shortly before my 30th birthday, when I was freaking out about where I was in life: still single, no children and no house of My Own .

I worked in a game at the time, And One of The Other actors on the inside has told me That he is coming to see us That Night . You knew Him for 14 years, and had worked with Him on a previous job. I'd just broken up with Someone Else , thought he was quite nice, and has indicated That he can. good for a rebound

We exchanged our numbers immediately. As it turned out, he had already followed me on Twitter after me in a Show - I later discovered this was his first train with anyone he was attracted to.

A few days later, we ended up meeting for coffee, and he was nice. I remember, "Wow, this is so Amazing . "And Then the texting began, which, in retrospect, should be a huge red flag. I would 50-100 messages received on The Day long. At one point he said to me, "I send really long messages and I just have a set. "I was pretty busy with my games and other things and I think everyone would have struggled to keep up with the volume.

He used to say That after the second lunch, he'd realized That he was falling in love with me. He came to me, took me to dinner, and took a great interest in My Life , My Childhood and My Family . I thought he was so different than the guys I was with.

Two Weeks after we met, it was my birthday. I invited Him To My party, But he said he would not come That I spend time with my friends. He seemed so respectful of my personal space.

In the short time I knew Him , he would be the qualities of a tick, which I always Wanted in a person I was dating. He was kind and thoughtful, without any prompt to do the things I always do for my ex-friends But had never reciprocated.

On reflection, it was Him draws me in, to create a world I would never want to leave. As in the First Time You take drugs and get high, then once You are addicted You always have to chase The First high, But it is never the same. He was like That . In the end, I felt like an addict in the hope That our relationship would return, as it was in the beginning, as it was so funny and too good to be true.

Two Days after my birthday, I stayed over at his house, and we slept together for the First Time . It had a couple of chances before then, But he never had pressure on me - even That made me think he was great.

He asked me if I was his girlfriend in The Morning . I said Yes. On the same day, he gave me a whole lecture about how now I was with Him , The Press were interested in me, and how people say bad things about Him to me, because of who he was.

Then he asked me if I had read his Wikipedia, as I've never seen his work and he said I should know what he had done. I said, "You were sitting right in front of me, I'll know what You have done of them. "

A few days later, he told me he'd been thinking about it a lot, and she was always very jealous of my ex-friends and My Past . He told me That he needed time to work on yourself and would really appreciate it if I talk about them.

He seemed like he was trying to be open and honest, so I agreed.

Sitting in The Park the next day, I had to go to work, he said, he wished, I was to be back in The Night . I said I felt the same way, and That 's when he asked me to move in with Him . Three weeks after we met for the First Time .

I said Yes.

At the beginning, he would bring me coffee in bed with cake and flowers, Leave Me notes in The Morning , when he went to work, and That You will come and meet me, if we are talking about, even if it's just for Five Minutes , just to say "hi" to each other. He showed me this perfect man.

But this time, a friend of mine told me That years ago Thom had been sent insulting E-Mails to a friend. He warned me to be careful, tells me That he had heard, this guy was a good message. I remember, That just does not sound like the person I knew.

Where to get help

Domestic violence, also called domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual includes abuse in a couple relationship or between members of a family. It can happen to women and men and every one a child can change difficult.

When I asked Him about this, he swore And Then changed the subject very quickly. He began to blame me for causing Him to neglect His Family . He said, because he'd focused all his energy on our relationship, he had missed really important things at home. I panicked and apologized. But Looking Back , it is clear That this was just a way of diverting attention from the abusive E-Mails.

the gifts were a big thing with Thom, But You would never things That I really Wanted to - they had something, would he, to carry me, is always quite expensive. It was almost like he Wanted to be the perfect idea of what he had in his head about what would look like his girlfriend.

There are so many red flags That I let You pass the time. He was not girlfriends, just jealous on my Ex. When I talked about an experience had made me happy, he told me That he was not jealous That he'd been there. He was always trying to control what I talked about.

The Contact , if we have not been together overwhelming. I felt like I had to respond to his messages really fast. It was as if he did not want to leave, to think, no room for me on everything other than Him .

the arguments, Which began about Two months into our relationship. Everything was so perfect until then, it was totally unexpected. But suddenly it seemed as if, if I was in a good mood, or things were good Between Us , he would instigate a Fight - Two or Three Times a week. It was really awful and draining, and You start with the, I was in shock.

Despite this, three months after we met, he got down on one knee and proposed. I was overwhelmed by the excitement. We talked about our future, the kids, and everything just felt natural and wonderful and right.

It was at this moment, But as I had made A Promise to marry Him , and lived in his house, That our Perfect World began to crumble.

He had The Engagement ring, based on one he had seen five years earlier - before we'd even met. I hated it. It was with his favorite stone, and it felt like I was fitting in The Ring , the perfect image in his head, instead of The Ring picked up for me.

I had to Fight with the work and it annoys me to, That he was condescending and disrespectful of my career. He would talk to me as if I knew what I was doing. But actually, I've been in the industry for years and Well done - I had not yet its economic success.

on The Night of our engagement party, he did not strive, with my friends at all. Then, when everyone had Gone Home and we were able to Thank You the opening of our cards, I said, "That You be So Cool about Robbie as" - Robbie , a friend I had a brief affair with in The Past .

I would, But I didn't feel like I could. I didn't want To Believe That this is really Him - it was the alcohol or Something Else . It has left no sense if we celebrate just to marry our decision-making - for-a-other for always.
