If so, what did you need to realize that it was not your fault, and that you could move on in life; thereby, being able to have a relationship again?

I always blame myself for things that go wrong in a relationship. Even the one time the guy was borderline abusive - I feel like I was stupid to get involved with him in the first place.

@SmartKat I can see why you would blame yourself, but you are not at fault if you did not know he was that way in the beginning.
