It's been over two years now since I got out of an 10 yr long abusive relationship. So how do I get the confidence to meet someone else?

Short term counseling. Snowskeeper: Don't try to do it too soon after the relationship, just get comfortable with other people first. Then try it.

She walked into the interview with confidence, ready to showcase her skills and experience.
If your husband is being abusive and you tell him that you're going to kill him if he doesn't let go are you being abusive?
People tend to say things in anger. Since your husband is abusive you should consider going to a Woman's Abuse House to find help and learn tools to cope. No one has the right to abuse the other. Your relationship is toxic and you are in control of your life and not your husband. To tell him you are going to kill him is a serious accusation and when you get to this point it's time for you to leave this abusive relationship.
Type of relationship that can become abusive?
I am sure there are lots of ways a normal relationship can become abusive but there is one that sticks in my mind: A serious relationship. It is because if you are mainly the girl in a relationship (it is mostly the girl playing the victim and the guy playing the abuser) you are more into love than he is so therefore you push yourself into that serious relationship. As he knows you pushed yourself into the relationship he thinks he can control you now and since he knows it is serious he thinks that you won't run away because you love him.
Why do abusive men feel the need to keep you off balance?
Because if you're unable to fend for yourself, their power is guaranteed. Nasty, isn't it? It's easier to control someone who is off balance. Abuse is more about control than anything else. They don't particularly enjoy watching the suffering, they just want you to do what THEY want and it's easier when they have you confused. If you are in an abusive relationship, get out. Go to a shelter or somewhere that will offer you some protection, but do it now since things can go downhill quickly in an abusive relationship and many of those guys get the mentality that if THEY can't have you, nobody will.
Do people drink to help self confidence?
People drink alcohol for different reasons. Yes, someone may do this to help If their self confidence but it's not advisable since it could lead to addiction.
How do you learn how to trust again?
It is not easy, but it takes nothing more than time and being honest with yourself and family and friends. I bet talking to a counselor will also help. Me personally, it has been nearly one year since the abusive relationship ended. I still deal with trust issues and self esteem/confidence issues. I will say they are not nearly as severe as when the relationship first ended. Talk about what you have experienced with everyone who will listen and NEVER be ashamed of what happened to you...because it is not your fault!!!! I also have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and HE by far has been the one who has seen me through the most!!!!! God Bless

Why would someone who has been in an abusive relationship mirror their abuser's behavior?
Abuse victims sometimes emulate the behavior of the abuser. By becoming abusive themselves, they are able to restrain the abuser. I started to hate myself and the person I was starting to become while with my abusive partner. I started modeling his behavior and doing and acting and thinking as he did. I was so far removed from "who I was" before I met him. Even after the relationship ended I was still modeling that behavior because that was my exposure for 2 years. My family and friends even noticed behavioral changes in m;especially prented myself (as in speech, body language, etc). It took honesty from family and friends and a willingness to listen and change to free myself from those abusive patterns. Even today I still catch myself and it has been 5 months since it ended. Also, being honest with myself and speaking freely to a counselor/pastor about these has been a tremendous help. When someone has been continually exposed to that behavior and made to feel shameful with blame shifting...they tend to emulate what they have been used to. Regrettably, abusive conduct is hard to get rid of and it "spills" to other areas of life. It is hard to confine it to your interactions with the abuser only.
What are some example of the cause of abusive relationships?
The main predictor of abusive relationships is if someone has themselves been abused or has grown up in a family where abuse was present. It is very contagious, particularly when the abusive family has sons, since they will repeat the homelife they grew up in. Girls tend to find someone to marry who is like the abuser. (of course, there are abusers of both sexes--I don't mean to be exclusive) Common occupations of abusers include being in law enforcement or the military, but they are not exclusive. As a society, we often blame the victim for not leaving the abuser, or for somehow creating a situation where anger can surface and so on. However, most people can express anger and disappointment without being verbally or physically abusive.
If you split up with your ex two years ago and he has been with someone else since then why do the two of you still sleep together?
Just because you enjoy having sex with someone doesn't mean they're someone to have a committed or exclusive relationship with.
Is it a good idea to have a relationship with someone who is separated?
no its not, it is usually a good idea to go with someone new, fresh person, people usually go for the same sex. Since ppl from the same sex think alike!!
