I wrote a little...ok, long post about things I noticed in 'that guy' from the very beginning but did not have enough sense? wisdom? to take them seriously. I would be interested in hearing what others might have noticed in the very beginning of their relationships which in hindsite were obvious hints to their abusive nature. Those things that they showed only a few months, even days into the beginning of a relationship. Those things which should have been seen as a red flag. I wonder if it would be helpful to know what those signs are and even if there are signs in every situation at the early stages.
Off the subject:
Also, I must think of a more interesting name for him than 'that guy'. But I just can't think of any. And speaking of names, the reason for mine 'hglucky' is because this is what he always referred to me as 'happy go lucky'. It was an insult when he said it. I was happy because I was stupid and naive and couldn't see the reality of the situation. It was my way of saying I will keep my happy go lucky over his doomsday attitude.
