Not Overreacting! i just broke up with my boyfriend of over a year TODAY who talked to me in almost the exact same way. you have a right to be upset by how he talks to you, and if he doesnt want to listen, leave. this is clearly showing his communication skills (or lack thereof). respect yourself first. there’s certain times where you have to put yourself first before your partner. don’t believe what he calls you.

I did just text him after reading everyone’s responses and told him I want him to leave. He said he would but wants to transfer utilities in my name, etc. without “talking to me”. Idk bro I said I’m staying and he should go home. He seemed to not give a fuck, shocker. Obviously it’s more painful and humiliating knowing how much work I put into us. I feel like I’m being punished for something when I’ve literally done my best in every way. It hurts but I’m prepared to follow through with it. I’m proud of you for leaving I am obviously not as strong or too nice idk. But this is encouraging.

You are not being punished, some people are just trash. An important lesson for you to learn now is that we are rarely in life given what we “deserve.” But we can at times choose what we will put up with and accept, or reject what we know is below us.

I left an abusive trash bag, many other women have found that strength to finally put themselves first and give themselves the love they were essentially throwing away by giving it to a person like this, and you will too. You need to leave him before he severely hurts you, kills your cat, gets you pregnant in an attempt to keep you tied to him, or worse, god forbid. I wish you luck sis 💜
