text: My ex is like that too. Keeping tabs on you makes him feel like he is still in control. Every time I went back to see my ex we would fight. Well, even living together. The hurt and the missing him stuff WILL GO AWAY. And the best news is... Some great guy will come along and prove to you that relationships don't have to be hurtful. Caring for and loving someone is different than being controlled by them. I learned the hard way. Please find yourself someone that can treat you just as you want to be treated. And though you may be lonely, there really isn't anything wrong with being single for awhile. All of this I have just found out for myself in the last 2 years, same guy, a million mistakes. I had to be hard on myself to stay away from him, once I did I found someone that treats me, and my daugther, like queens....
