I too agree with Romney.  Since my divorce I have learned more about me than I probably would have if we never divorced.  You are an  intelligent person.  Do you have some interests that you were never able to pursue when you were married.  Google those, see if there are any groups or clubs in your area for that interest.   Don't sit at home feeling sorry for yourself.  Take time to learn who you are and begin to like yourself if you aren't already there.  If he was emotionally abusive, then the problem lies within him and not you.  He did not like himself and took it out on you.  You are now in control and you WON'T let him get to you any more.  Good luck.

Give yourself time and learn to be nice to you.  Romney's advice to get busy is also good, but time is the best.  Learn to love yourself and like yourself being single.

I would stay as busy as possible. Get OUT and make friends. Join meetup.com and stay busy! Have fun and be around people that validate you, especially after being in an emotionally abusive relationship!!! I'm sorry you had to deal with that. You are a strong woman and are brave for getting out!! You might also look into getting some counseling just to sort through all the mind crap he may have pulled on you.. How long were you together?
