  • Get out of that relationship. Run, don’t walk! There are tons red flags here and you will only find unhappiness. Using the “I don’t have anyone but him” excuse is bullshit. I know making friends is hard but you need to make friends. If he is jealous of that, then that’s another red flag

    Life is short and there billions of other people out there. YOU are NOT going to fix him. Why? because people will only change because they want to change. That includes you.

    You are an adult and you have all the free will in world to make your own decisions but I can guarantee that if you stick with this POS, then you WILL regret it later. It will hurt to break up with him and be alone for a bit, but that pain is temporary. You will be in far greater pain over the years if you stick with this guy. You will meet more and better people and you deserve a better life than what you will have if you stick with this person. He does not value you, despite what he says. His actions speak louder than words.

    As someone else said, walk away and go no contact.



  • I had a parent who was terrible. It really sucked because out of my siblings I was the one who was really willing and able to deal with the end of life bullshit. She was mentally and emotionally abusive throughout my life. I did my best to be fair and make sure she was treated with dignity. I think any human being deserves that. But I couldn’t bring myself to tell her I loved her when she said it to me towards the end. I wasn’t angry towards her or anything. I just tried to deal with it without emotion. My brother did help handle a lot of interaction with her. I’m very thankful he was there with me.

    I’ll be honest, I am glad she is gone. I stressed out over her and things she would do. I couldn’t have made the future choices I did if she was still around. Everyone in my family is better off and their lives are better because she is gone. I think feeling bad for their suffering means that you are human and have empathy. I think back still, at times, and feel for her. I think about the things in her life that made her the way that she was. It also fucked me up for a while after my child was born because it made me think of the better times with my mother when I was young. Still does sometimes. But she is gone now. It’s okay to mourn that person so you can move on. You are mourning the good things about the person, and maybe even the bad. To move on past the things that fuck with us, sometimes we have to forgive because it is what is best for ourselves. I at least know I will never have to endure the suffering she inflicted upon me through her abuse again. For that I am greatful.
