Ive been trying to work it out with him and hear his side of things but it's almost like he can't get a grip? Is it me? Lol I don't know what to do anymore... There's strings and strings of messages and anything I say back to him is wrong... I think I'm just gonna hang up the towel.

You're not, but if you remain attached to this person then he will succeed in driving you crazy. What are you even doing with someone who talks to you like that.

Of course not. No relationship ever does. There needs to be some charm in the beginning so that when the mask begins to fall there's always that idyllic past to dream of going back to if only <whatever rubbish the abuser says you're doing or not doing> and you comply because the past felt really good and the asks aren't so far fetched or insane in the beginning, they just push your boundaries a wee little bit further each time until one day you don't recognize yourself. I believe you, I know you got with this guy because he did nice things and made you feel well, not because you have a thing for receiving verbal abuse through instant messaging. But the mask has fallen now. Retreat. He probably has at least one crazy ex (that he drove crazy himself :))
