I dated this guy for 2 months. We broke up because he's shipping out here in about 2 months. I've heard from a few of his exs that he hits girls, cheats, and treats girls like crap... Although I never experienced any of those things from him. He almost seemed obsessed for a while; he would follow me home, to "make sure i got there safely", say things like "you complete me" and he acted like we were getting married and stuff. he was hit and abused by his father all his childhood; his father was an alcoholic. i guess the reason why i have doubts that this wouldve turned abusive is because he seemed sooo protective over me; he treated me like a queen..always saying i meant so much to him, i was the best things thats ever happened to him, etc. when we broke up, he just said i was great and he had feelings but he needed to ship out single. is this a sign that he knew he couldnt control me while overseas so that make him nervous? He pretty much made me quit smoking. We never even had sex; he never pushed me to do anything. he was still very possessive and over protective at times. Why was he like this, and would it have turned into something worse? should i be glad he broke up with me?
