Ah! His new gf used to criticize me quite a lot about putting up with all his crap. She said thatit was my fault if he treated me so miserably, saying it was me who allowed it and that she would nnever let someone treat her like that. I started to think I was the problem , that being nice in a relationship is not how it should be. Both her and my ex used totell everyone how naive and nice I was. Forward one year she has taken my place and he is just the same jerk. He did not change. And she is puting up with it!!!!! She who claimed that was too proud and srtong to let this happen. She has stopped criticising me. She has stopped giving me the harsh looks. I wish she apologised.
