@TrueStory:

I hope it does stay that way! He sounds like a complete idiot and ass!
I'm so happy about that relationship news though. It sounds like you guys enjoy each others company!

@DarlingV:

Thank you! I haven't seen my ex in about a year now and I plan on keeping it that way. I don't contact him or anything, zip-o. My new boyfriend has been with me for about a year now and we're so in love! I feel comfortable and safe around him, he's so sweet and open-minded!

I'm glad your life is turning around seemingly. I never knew that your ex hit you, and I'm hoping you'll have nothing to do with him ever again, because you don't deserve that.
The new boyfriend sounds lovely though <3
