As a guy I am one of those rare cases where it was by a female girlfriend. I was at a stage where the abuse was so bad, I could even answer if I still loved her or would ever love her. The level of gaslighting that took place made me question everything and everyone I came in contact with including my long time friends. Just like you I tolerated the abuse, you would think I should have cut the cord at year 3, if at day 1, but no, I tolerated 10 years of it. I got to such a point I had no more tears to shed because I was beyond hurt emotionally. I came to a point where I had enough and removed myself from a hostel environment. I had to relearn how to trust again, by being around people who liked to laugh, joke and be marry. It doesn't mean I think ill of females or not being able to find me a loving girlfriend I still long for. I am ever more watchful of behavior of things like mental and emotional abuse and I even help others put an end to it. Its the worst thing anyone can do in any relationship, I would even argue I top emotional abuse over cheating.

Yeah of course but you learn from it and grow as a person, you start to realize your own patterns and why and what you tolerated back then and you learn to not do it in that way again.
You shouldn't turn your back on love, just of some bad experiences, you will have new experiences, bad and good ones and you will keep learning and growing and living life.
Yes never going through that again I would rather be single forever lol.
