First dates are just the beginning and many of us would not handle past experiences the same way now as we did then. (Mykyta Dolmatov/Dreamstime/TNS)
Q: My breakup with my ex was messy, and I stayed away from dating for a couple of years. However, I’ve recently signed up on a dating app and I’ve started to date again.
Unfortunately, the first question everyone wants to know is why did I break up with my ex. I don’t want to talk about it. He was abusive and almost killed me and he is now in prison.
