I think Zedland nailed how it will potentially come across as seeming to the new man.
I understand your desire to want to prevent anyone else from experiencing what you did, however, I’m going to point something out that may hurt... please try to understand that it’s not my intention to hurt your feelings by saying it.
There is a possibility that their relationship won’t go the same way yours did. Something I have come to learn is that we all bring out different aspects of each other, and we all create a different dynamic in the space between us. I’m sorry yours became toxic, it would be heartbreaking after trying for so long to find happiness.
Perhaps an option is to give her an opportunity to grow and learn from her mistakes. Perhaps she’s in a position to try to do better.
You are too.
I would ask yourself, are you learning from your mistakes... or simply trying to continue with the same behavioural patterns that made your relationship toxic?
I always struggle with knowing whether to speak out to others and share knowledge I may have about situations. I would say that any time I have, 99.99% of the time it has been ignored. Another 99% of that remaining 0.01% it backfired on me.
What I have come to learn is that we can’t prevent people from making mistakes. What we can do though, is help support them when they do.
You are in a tricky situation. If it truly is selfless, then you know he’ll be ok during the relationship (as you were)... just be sure that if it ends, if she begins saying things that are false, you let him know that you believe him.
