reader, anonymous, writes (31 January 2009): Hello this is to anonymous writer that wrote in January responding to my question:
It has been 9 months since I left and let me tell you I feel like a new person, I am doing way much better in school, getting A's , doing better at work , and my relationship with my parents, sister, and friends (even made new ones!!) is the best ever. It was the toughest thing i ever had to do, i didnt use a rebound nothing did it all by myself and am soo happy when i think back on how nasty he used to be and how stressful the relationship was. I know i tried, I prayed, I went to counseling with him, did everything possible but i am not going to keep trying for the rest of my life...one day i will get married but it will be someone who appreciates me and respects me for who i am and not trying to mold me into a trophy wife that only says ok dear to everything. i wish you the best of luck in your dilemma, i know how hard it is but always remember that you have to be happy, its your future your life and never settle. And dont be worry if youll ever meet someone blah blah...you will you really will...i still havent but i am finidng out who i am from what i had lost in being in such a horrible relationship....good luck to you and i hope things work out for you !! you sound like a great person, and deserve nothing but the best :) xoxox0

reader, anonymous, writes (31 January 2009): I am engaged and in a similar situation. My fiance has continually turned innocent situations into arguments. He continues to accues me of having other interests or intentions when I don't call him exactly when he expects. I have told him that I do not respond well to his tone or accusations and feel that he has trust issues. I have called off our engagement once already due to his (4 hour+) long rampages about how hurt he is that I didn't call at a time he would have certainly called. I am and always will be faithful to my relationships. He still, after 2 years, contiues to get into his moods of doubt which cause horrible memories and lonely evenings. He is 34 years old, and I suppose has still not recovered from his highschool girlfriend lying and cheating on him. Counseling and time have not changed his ways and thoughts. I feel on edge sometimes when I'm looking forward to a lovely fun filled evening, because I don't know which man is going to pick up the phone or be there. I sick and tired of the rollercoaster and all night arguments. I have taken off my ring tonight. He needs to face his fears and stop taking them out on me. My job and life has enough stress already, I certainly don't need my husband to be to add to it. Give him a chance but not too many. If a lesson isn't learned after a year, I figure it's a lost cause. I'll say a prayer for him and myself.

 Hi,
I understand why you are so hurt by this, it sounds really tough. You mention in one of your updates that you wonder why this is all your fault, well it isn't all your fault. You are two in this relationship and it doesn't seem to me as if he is open to deal with this at all right now, whereas you actually made attempts to talk. Don't blame or judge yourself too hard over this. Cry as much as you need, it is good and will release some tensions in you around this (even though I understand at work it is not very comfortable to cry). Do you have any good friend who you trust and can talk with about this? Someone who is YOUR friend, not his? If you do, ask her/him to be your back up and every time you feel like contacting your fiance you call your friend instead. I think that for a while now you shouldn't contact him at all since it all seem very infected right now. Wait a couple of weeks, sounds like ages i know, but this time will help you clear your mind so that you know better what you want and how you want to express this to him. Hopefully he will have calmed down a little during this time as well so that he will be able to listen to you and talk constructively instead of just throwing hurtful words at you.
Hope I managed to give you some empowerment! Best wishes!

Hi,
Nobody can tell you how long to wait or what to do, you must decide this for yourself, but my advice would be not to wait much longer, maybe actually not at all. Because as Fade878 says, this is abusive behaviour. I agree that this behaviour probably originates from him being hurt maybe both as a child and as a grown up, and maybe even by you, but he is a grown man today and he DOES have a responsibility for his actions. Nobody can hide behind bad childhood or other bad experiences and get away with bad behaviour forever. Even though there might be explanations to why your boyfriend talks like this to you, they are still not a good excuse. Either he will learn one day what he looses when doing this, or he might not, but he can't escape responsibility for his actions. And it might not be your task to teach him, since you must also take care of your own heart. You are very right in being angry with him now and I think you should talk to him only face to face in a neautral place, as I said before, so that it will be clear to him he can't treat you badly no matter what he has been going through before.
It feels to me that you are a strong person so I'm sure you will be able to make good decisions about this, whatever you decide to do. Don't let anybody make you believe you are a bad person. It is not the same as never see your own faults, but to keep your self esteem in a difficult situation.
Good luck!

I know! This is really bad because it leaves you feeling hurt because of what he did AND hurt over the fact that you can't get through to him to make him understand how how disrespectful his behaviour is and how bad this is making you feel. Your fiancee is supposed to make you feel good, not like cheap trash! Even if it's true that he might be hurt because you turned him down to move in, he should have more respect for your feelings. It sounds now like he is black-mailing you saying that as long as you don't do what he wants and move in with him, he will continue accusing you of cheating and the only way for you to prove to him you're not is for you to give in and do as he wish, to move in. I say black-mail because I think he knows you are not cheating, he just wants to force you to do what he wants. Imagine what it will be like next time you will make important decisions about your life together, will he ever take your feelings into consideration? I think you will be ok though, because you sound like you are really angry and that is just the feelings you should have now towards him. Don't give in and don't have long text conversations with him. Say that if he wants to talk things through, you can meet him at a café or over a lunch (or other neutral place where he has to behave somewhat) to talk about it, but no more texting.
Keep the empowered feeling, you DO deserve to be treated better than this.
Take good care!

he doesn't see what he does with these dumb arguements it really sucks because we r good together and his frustrations get in the way...and make him a not so nice person. i love him so much and i want nothing but for us to work it out....just not going to give in and call him and make a move that he should be making this time around....he shouldn't of laughed at my feelings and i find it soo distespectful for him to talk to me in that manner telling me ohh is that one of your men??? he knows i have morals and values and him talking to me like i go around the block is just not nice.

i have just been through the exact thing i feel that sometimes a person will accuse you because they may be guilty themselves. you no what they say a relationship should be built on trust and if he cant trust you and is so immature he isnt worth the hassle i sure there is somebody out there who you could be more happier with. x

 Hello.I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time with your bf, he is not a nice person for a great girl like you to be with, he has made it clear that you are not loved by him, he is just using you as a play thing that he can just throw away at a moments notice, when some one has been a player they will never settle down, they treat woman as they would wipe dirt off their shoes, it is more than likely that he is seeing other woman that is why he is always on at you about other men, it is because he wants to belittle you at every chance he gets, and the more you go back to him the more he will make you life a misery, why do you let him get away with treating you this way,you should be with a guy that adores you, not a guy that plays with your emotions, what type of a person would just keep laughing at you, and not listen to a word you say, then upset you again, and again.Now is the time to look into yourself and find the real person you are, and ask yourself do i deserve all this BS, from this low life you are wasting you time with him, it is time now to get smart and dump this pile of human waste,you only have one life sweet heart why waste it on this nomad, he is going nowwhere,but you are just starting the journey of your life, get rid of him and start again with a guy who will love you and respect you for who you are, do not waste any more time on him, or you will regret the day you met him when half your live has passed away, and he is still giving you the BS.

anytime you make a stand, and give someone an ultimatum, you better stick to it or else all seriousness in the future may be blown off as well. dont take shit from this guy. if he moves on, then good riddance right! if he comes back sobbing, then you have done a great job at keeping your respect where it should be.
remember...dont break down.
best of luck
