Hey Everyone. I've been gone for about a month [just started posting again yesterday

]
And I wanted to give you an update.
My story is here:
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=114870
And sooooo many of you really reached out offering phone conversations, e-mails, personal stories... I was really touched but also really depressed so I kind of stopped coming to YT...
I still live with my EX but I'm moving on this Saturday. I'm dating a new [read: amazing, great, communicative, slightly older and more mature] guy. I have known him for 7 years and he has been there for me through EVERYTHING [family issues over the summer, this whole relationship drama...]... My EX is still lying, being sneaky, getting aggressively angry with me... I realize that I don't deserve that or want that in my life. [Not after seeing how great it can be with someone who actually listens to what you have to say, values your opinion, doesn't get aggressive or verbally cut you down]...
Aside from that I have really learned a lot about who I am, who I want to be, my family, my friends... I was going to leave Oliver [my yorkie] with the EX while I figure out my living situation, but I've decided to cut all ties [including favors... despite the fact that my EX loves Oliver and really doesn't want to be taking away from him] I have to do what's right for me.
Basically, I wanted to thank you all for caring about me when I needed your kind words. I know I gushed about this new guy and I'm not naive enough to think that I'm okay now because I have someone new or that "this is the one" or anything like that. I am still completely broken about what has happened in my life... I'm still wary of relationships in general... but I think I'm heading in a healthy direction and I'm proud of that.
Thank you YT Family...
