Toxic.

I recently just got out of a year and a half long toxic relationship. When I say toxic, I mean i couldn't be friends with anyone unless he approved of them, if I'd go to walk away and he didn't want me to he'd grab my arm so hard it'd leave bruises, he'd slap me in the mouth, he'd control what I wear, he cheated and wouldn't allow me to wear makeup. Even after all of that I still love him unconditionally but my friends and family were pressing me to leave, so I finally did. It still hurts but it was the best thing I could've done for myself. Last night I went bowling with a guy I'm friends with and it was just so nice to go out with someone who respected me and didn't control everything I did. He tried to kiss me but I kinda freaked and didn't know what to do so I started talking again but he asked me if we could go out again sometime and i said I would really love too.
