Should I never try to date again because I ran into the worst kind of girl?

Ok so im 31she was my first relationship I have autism, ocd, ptsd I’m very insecure about myself. I knew I needed someone who was kind and understanding and that’s how she presented herself initially but as time went on she exposed her true personality she would expose these diva like qualities she would have full temper tantrums and meltdowns if she did now get her way. She started making fun of my disorders. I was expected to be interested in what she liked but when I wanted her to watch something with me that was my choice she would leave the room. She would trash me to her friends. She has gotten angry and smacked me in the back of the head she also also hit mine and her dog. None of her friends know this stuff goes on they just believe her lies and believe that I’m causing this and that once she’s away from me that she will be better. No one seems to care for the better part of 2 years I have been mentally and psychologically abused. But being totally honest I don’t have that same desire to date anymore this has caused it ti go away I put my everything into this relationship because I believe you should be your whole heart into it and nothing came from it but more pain and suffering

Never say never.

Just let yourself heal first.

I was also with someone very toxic, it shook me to the ground honestly.
I've been single for 2.5 years or so. I didn't really want to date after that. Well, at first I couldn't, I was in a dark place.
But now that I've been given it a lot of time and mostly I've healed, I don't really feel the need to date at the moment. Maybe if I met someone.
But rather be single than to be with the wrong person.


But let yourself heal, take time and reflect, cry, be angry, whatever you need. For yourself.

Doesn't mean you have to stop dating forever. But maybe, just for now, focus on yourself.
