Dunno? Just how bad is the Ex?
My ex has been diagnosed with personality disorders : Narsasstic, Borderline and Anti-social...compulsive gambler and drinks too much...so yes, he is not so great...I truly should not be in charge of picking the right man for myself...
hmmmm. mkay.

Have you heard this proverb?
Between two Goods, Choose Both.
Between two Evils, Choose Neither.
Sounds as if you are between two Evils. Mr. Ex and Mr. Violent Drunk.
The Wise Course may be to choose Neither.
