August this year I finally thought something in my life was going right when I started dating a friend I had known for about 2 years, things were going great and it made things feel easier,I'll call him "C" he told me he loved me and wanted to stay together, then I discovered that his sister who I had thought was a friend for the past two years actually doesn't like me?, he has 2 grown up daughters who each have a boy and at first everything was great with them as they said it was the first time they had seen thier dad so happy and "loved up" as they called it, but then when C started spending more and more time at my house and they missed out on the resident babysitter etc one of them got quite nasty, this didnt seem to deter him as he said that they would have to accept that he was entitled to a life too, then he lost his job and his bike broke down which made him quite depressed as he hates being out of work and without transport, I tried to help support him as best I could, we had a few minor probs as I discovered that due to him having a violent marriage from his ex. that he had no intention of marrying again ever, nor living with anyone or having any further children, I tried asking if this might change in the future and he said absolutely never.

Then on friday last week after barely seeing C all week due to him being at his babysitting and sorting out housing ben. forms etc, we were due to go out but when his friend turned up to collect and announced over the phone that he didnt have room for me to come, I admit that I did shout and say about being left behind when C said he was still going with him, I then sent a text saying it was because I felt left out and stranded as my foot is in plaster and I cant get about much on my own, he didnt reply, nor to the 2 sent after that, C didnt come back here after the night out nor did he call or text the next day.

I thought something might be wrong so I tried to call but his mobile was turned off, I text C's friend to ask if he could let me know if C was ok and I got a text back saying no,he couldnt tell me and that he didnt want to be involved??!!. I have tried a couple of times since to call C's phone but its always turned off, other than one time when I sent a text asking if he was ok and got the delivery reprt that it was delivered so I waited to see if he replied but he didnt so after waiting about an hour I tried calling and it was turned off again?, he has left quite a bit of his stuff here including some new clothes bought by his daughters for his birthday??

I really need him right now and cant understand why he has just shut me off like this, its not like him to behave like this??

You need to stop. If you want marriage-he said he won't give it, ever, never.

If you stay with him in hopes if you just love and love him so much-he'll change his mind. You are setting yourself for heatache and failure.

It sounds like his sister may be jealous. It sounds like there is way too much drama and all this drama makes you feel out of control, unsafe, unloved.

As hard as it is-he wont' talk to you. He is enjoying this abusive dynamic of abandoning you so now you are acting desparate. This allows him to lose respect for you so he can continue to hurt you.

His depression is for him to go to a doctor for help. I wonder what he is doing to deal with this. Hopefully not alcohol or drugs. That there would show he is not healthy.

From what you say-you and him both have issues of abandonment, lack of self worth.

How about you take care of yourself. He doesn't want to help you and it hurts.

He isn't reliable and you dont need him. Not when he is doing this to you, hurting you further.

Stop texting him. Stop begging him. Show him you dont' need him. Show him you are strong. Put up the boundaries of what you expect of him.

You apologized. Now it's up to him.

In this time, please seek a support group on abuse/addictions.

That you choose to further pursue a man that

Has no job

has lack of self esteem and self love

who was in an abusive relationship

who now exhibits signs of being abusive and controlling

who can put friends first over commitments to you

who puts his needs first

This is not love. This is not safe, supportive, or comforting.

It creates all the opposite.

Are you happy where you are now? How you are feeling? Can you see a liftime of this? Do you want a lifetime of this?

Why do you need him now? What do you expect of him?

You can't make him be someone he isn't.
