I had an eerily similar situation, but I'm a straight female. I also was with someone for 10 years, the "I don't want to live" bi-polar/depression/self loathing type. Also very verbally and mentally abusive. I believe they go hand and hand due to the low self esteem levels. I also met a man was was engaged. We fell in love as well. I finally had the courage to end my relationship (not for this other man, but because he gave me the strength to leave). It got so bad, and he got so obsessive, he was breaking into my house when I wasn't home, calling me at home, at work and on my cell at LEAST 30 times a day. Finally it came to a head and he got physically violent. I had a restraining order against him and the police installed a panic button in my house. You have to be so careful with these types and not many people are going to be able to relate on this board unless they have gone through it and are familiar with the actions and reactions of someone like this. You are very lucky and have 2 years to get out of this. However, like me, you shouldn't have waited this long and it shouldn't have taken another man to come to these cross roads. Regardless of this other man, you are going to get out of this current relationship. I say that you "are" because you really don't have any other choice. If you don't, you're going down with him, and you and I both know, it only gets worse with time, never better. You do have a little support here. What you need to do is make a plan. Get aggressive with your boyfriend (trust me, I am 4'11", 115 pounds and my ex was 6'4" and 325 pounds and I was able to muster up the courage). Let him know you are tired of his crap and you can't take the responsibility for someone's emotions in life. He needs to grow up and be a man and stand on his own 2 feet. You unfortunately are going to be the one to throw him out to this cruel world. However, take heed in the fact that he will find someone to tell his sob story to about how awful you were to him and how depressed you made him and how you hurt him and catch another in his trap. His kind always does. They are leech's and will find someone else to grasp hold of soon enough. I'm not going to lie to you, it probably will be a bad breakup, but I swear to you, in the end it is soooooooooo worth it. The air around you seems lighter, the sun seems brighter, everything just looks better because you don't have a depressed person constantly brining you to his level.As for this other guy, he can give you the strength to leave you current. It is so much easier when there is someone there (obviously I know). That relationship will play out on it's own. Mine did, we now live together and recently welcomed a beautiful little boy in our lives this March. Happy endings are out there, but YOU need to be strong and go grab yours, it's not going to fall into your lap.Good Luck!
