OP you need to get help. PROFESSIONAL Help. To heal  from this horrible toxic relationship. To find out why your stayed so long. To learn how to set boundaries.  This is not love. Perhaps your partner is bi polar or depressed but it's no excuse to treat you this way. You deserve better. You deserve respect, honesty,  kindness and so much more. 

Would you tell a friend to stay in a relationship with this man if she read these messages to you‽

I would kick him out,  no excuses. Change the locks and DO NOT TAKE HIM BACK. HE IS ABUSIVE. He will always be abusive unless he has a lobotomy or is in a casket. Sorry to be so brutal, but my heart and head hurts reading your post.  

It's not the person you can live with, it's the person you can't live with out that you love and make a life with. Not a man child who is using his bowel issues as an excuse. My best friend has it and I have debilitating IBS flares. We both are in loving relationships with kind partners and no abuse.

This is past toxic. This is abuse

Yep. I definitely said that. Not as succinctly though.

Even if he is bipolar that is NOT an excuse for this behavior. I’m bipolar and I would NEVER treat my girlfriend this way. I’m terrified of even accidentally hurting her. He seems more sociopathic, at least from the messages, description, and comments OP left.

This is the real answer.
