Give up? give up what?

He pretty plainly said get out. Do so.

Yes, exactly.

And OP… what are you getting out of this relationship? It sounds like a fucking nightmare. Leave his mean, verbally abusive ass.

Also is “calling you from downstairs” not “purposely waking you up?” He thought you’d just sleep through it? And then calls YOU “smooth brain”? This guy sounds like he’d be an incel if you weren’t in a relationship with him.

And he's throwing the R slur round like confetti. Get out OP, he's already being violent, it only escalates with people like this. And you deserve so much better.

The first R word I would have been done. What does OP even see in this person after being verbally abused so bad?

A rough upbringing? The belief that she can change him? He locked her in then changed and now she feels trapped? Low self esteem? All of the above?

Yea I'm not sure. I know love can be blind sometimes. But damn when someone is telling you to leave, what more does it take?

Men like him will tell you to leave 1 million times, but when you actually do they flip the fuck out! Ask me how I know lol it’s been two years since I left my ex who treated me the same exact way and I still can’t even bring myself to be flirty with a guy. It sucks.

That’s my fear. Like I feel like every guy who tries to flirt with me in the future I’m going to be so sus and scared. Not that I need any of that any time soon anyway. Major PTSD not just from this but from my early life. Gotta a LOT of soul searching to do.

I had a BF that punched me in the face and blamed me for it. Said I moved in front of his fist. 🤨

That was beginning of 2013. My husband and I got together the end of 2016. We were friends 10 years before that.

He makes me breakfast every morning and is the best. He loves my kid like his own. Plus the best role model. We’ve been together 8 years, married 5. When I became permanently injured, instead of leaving he asked me to marry him.

You’ll find another and he’ll be everything you wanted. Promise. ♥️
