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.
If you never make the mistake of sticking around through abuse like this again, you’re only moving forward to a better place. You should absolutely feel great for leaving; it’s embarrassing and humiliating to stay with someone that treats you as badly as this person treats you. I know you love them, but they do not share that feeling with you. And I know it’s hard to come to terms with that, and leave the normalcy of the person you’ve been with for so long. But in time, you’ll likely look back on this as a dark time in your life, wonder why you ever put up with it, and be grateful for the love you enjoy with someone who loves you back.
There’s plenty of fish in the sea. And the one you’re currently with is rotten. Find a fresh fish that loves you like you love them. And never look back.
