I told my Boyfriend

Last night while my boyfriend and I where cuddling and I ended up telling him about my abusive relationship. He asked me why I stayed and I said "I don't know but he's out of my life now. I can't talk about anymore cause then I won't stop and I'll start crying" and then he just held me close to his chest. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. We went out last night for Halloween and it almost made me break down because me Ex never wanted any evidence we were together.
