He threatened me when I tried to escape….
I regret ever meeting my ex. He manipulated me, he lied to me, he called me horrible names, he tore down my self esteem, he made me think every thing was my fault, he made up stories so that I’d feel bad for him, he threatened me when I tried to escape, he blamed me for his mistakes. When I tried to move on, he made even more mistakes and tried to make me feel bad for them, and tried to manipulate me out of my moving on. He blamed me for his stupid decisions. I even got yelled at for liking a celebrity! He was all too possessive and mean and put me though hell every single day of my life. I so deeply regret not ignoring his threats of suicide and leaving his ass around month 5.

Be glad you left him after just five months. I was with a guy like this for about nine years, and I almost lost my life and ended up with PTSD. I regret ever meeting him. He was trying to control your mind, and I believe that when you are in a toxic and controlling relationship, it is their intent to control you physically as well as mentally. If you stay too long, you lose yourself. Your ex is an asshole.

Yeah. That was a no-win situation. So glad you got out and now know you can’t let anyone do that to you again.

I was in that type of a “relationship”for seven years,when I met him I had a promising career,he was jealous of it and wanted me to give it up and get some menial work,so that I would not think I was “better than him”he was also jealous of my friends,so I lost touch with them because he made life so unpleasant for me when I wanted to continue being in contact with them,he too threatened suicide if I said I had had enough and wanted out of the relationship,once he turned the television off because I said I found one actor in a movie cute!!I knew something was seriously wrong with him,and yet he tried to make me go to a psychiatrist,saying I was”off my head”mostly when I was trying to leave him.The reason he wanted me to see a psychiatrist I found out later was that it would be prejudicial to my career and make me lose my job,he was a devious nasty piece of work,I did leave it finally after I agreed to let him keep a fairly large sum of money my father had given me after selling some land,and I did not just lose money I lost a great deal of self esteem and I too believe that I was suffering with PSTD,which affected my career and I never achieved what I could have achieved had I not been in the wrong place at the wrong time and met him,and became infatuated and lost all sense of proportion,I compare having met hin to having had my legs crushed by a truck!.I have also lost a lot of trust in men,and now live alone but I am reasonnably happy,I also missed having children,he did not want any(thanks God)!but I could not reconnect with another man and time passed.Not having had any children is what I regret the most,not having any other family,I am looking to a lonely old age,friends are friends but they are not family.
