Re: Getting repeated stressed flashbacks from the past
Your ex sounds really immature, maybe spoiled too? As time goes by those painful feelings will probably not be as bad.
It always helps to work on oneself as well, but I can tell you from my experience, that I've been in unhealthy relationships in the past, and nothing has helped me heal from them better than 1. Spending some time single and getting comfortable with myself, and 2. Ending up in the good, healthy relationship that I have with my wife today.
Now that I'm in a healthy relationship, it's like "wow, I'm not crazy afterall...I can be a good partner/husband" - good validation.
The bad ones in the past always left me with a lot of self-doubt, anger, and confusion.
