I fell in love with my ex and started a relationship because he has awesome human qualities and we have lots of things to share ; both like to travel, have same taste in music so we would go to concerts together...I felt so good with him.
I found him really attractive physically and when I think about it, he was the man I've always dreamed to be with.

When we started dating I had no clue about his issues.

For the first time I felt like building something with someone, I was thinking about the future with him.

It took him a few months to tell me about the traumatic experience he went through, and still he didn't say much.Just a few words here and there. Like a puzzle.

I felt he was still suffering from it but I didn't realise how much at that time.
I learned he had a story of substance abuse too, which was hard to believe as he has such a healthy lifestyle now ( diet, regular exercise...)

Knowing that didn't change anything for me. I just loved him.
