How did you escape a relationship with a controlling/ emotionally manipulative partner?

We lived together. I encouraged them to take a job in another state, I promised them I would follow them once I was able to get a transfer via the company I am currently working with (that was a lie). A few weeks after they moved interstate, I moved suburbs, they don't know where I live now.
I paid all the rent, bills, groceries etc our whole relationship, so I had NO savings, while they just pocketed their earnings, and they earned almost 100k more than me. So I also had to lie about a repair needed in the rental property we had lived in that I couldn't afford so they would send me some money, I used that money for the removalist and bond money on my new place. He was also physically / sexually abusive, I hate to think where I would be today if he didn't take that job interstate.
