A female United Kingdom age 36-40, *ez7 writes:

hello,

roughly for the last two years in my 3 year relationship i have realised that i have been a pushover. for example if he threatened to leave i would beg him back etc, i apologise for nearly everything, if hes angry or upset i cry afterwards, i constantly try to fight for the relationship, and sometimes it feels like he doesnt want to even though he says he wants to be with me.

its got to the point where im not sure if i do things wrong or not?

now i know i need to become stronger, but after so long if i suddently changed and started standing up for myself would my partner want to stay or just run?

eyeswideopen agony auntI think you can answer your own question by doing just that, stand up for yourself. No matter what happens you are going to be better off by doing it.

Honeypie agony auntI think he would just use his current bully routine but crank it up some - maybe give you an ultimatum that you stop "acting" up or he will leave.

It honestly sounds like a rather unhealthy relationship. It's his way or the high way and YOU better walk on egg shells or else.. How can that make you happy? Why not end it?

Are you hoping HE will end it, because you think it's easier?
