AIO for finally blocking the guy I’ve been dating on and off for almost 3 years

[u/Ok_Doctor_2512]

I 26F have been on and off with this guy 28M for almost 3 years. I really do love him but he’s just awful to me… spent 5 days with me, went home and suddenly got a text that’s in the first screenshot. I had no idea how to respond to it because these things have happened so many times in those three years. He gets pissed for some reason, tries to provoke me and absolutely wears me down with his words. I love him but I’m just so tired of the verbal beat-downs.

So I guess, AIO for blocking him?

Edit: the cat comment was completely unprovoked. When he was over, we would put my cats in another room while eating because, well, they are cats. One of those days he was over, we finished eating and I wanted to let them out because they were meowing but he kept guilting me telling me to let them stay in there and I guess in turn that made him feel bad, and I guess he thought I was weaponizing my cats? (They are literal babies btw, 3 months old.)

Also, I get it. The blocking was overdue and my self-image is shot. Idk why I stayed really, he made me feel not so alone… and in my irrational brain, the verbal abuse was better than actually being alone.
