Need to vent

I’ve been dating my bf for 3 years. He tried to break up with me every time we had a fight in the first year, we would fight because he was lusting over girls online, and it would be my fault for not respecting his privacy, he also liked bikini photos on insta and he deleted the app because I found out. Then I discovered he had a secret instagram that he blocked me in it, confronted him about it he said it was my fault for making him delete the old one. But I never told him to, he went into the bathroom and deleted the whole thing when I asked to see what was in there. I don’t trust him no more, we still fight and when we do he always curses me out, then says he’s sorry and will treat me like a queen for next day, then go back to being shitty. I know what people think “just break up” “you deserve better, just leave” and I couldn’t for years, but I’m starting to want to be loved, and I don’t feel loved with him. I feel like I am waiting for the next fight, because he will try to break up and then I’ll just say ok but it never happens, I feel like he’s scared of me leaving and won’t break up like he used to. And time is passing, I don’t look at him like I used to. And I’ve never done anything bad to him, never disrespected him, never cheated. I’m the most loving person I know. I regret forgiving him for all these things, every time I try to bring it up to try and leave him he’ll say I forgave him and shouldn’t do that because he has changed. Today he said I should stop going to the gym because my body didn’t change after years of working out, when I know it did, he also said my voice is annoying. He treats me so good then so bad it confuses me, but I’ll be here until I hate him and I feel like it’s almost there

It’s time to move on you are just wasting time with him when you can find someone else.Yes it will hurt but staying together is wasting both your time. What would you say to a friend you told you the same thing ?
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@updown2020 I would say the same thing you just said. Thanks
lovingdead · 36-40, M
there a lot to unpack there, a good amount seems to be stuff he needs to work on, his unaddressed issues bubbling up.

I'm with most of the people here, you need to go. because when you do, after however long it takes when you're ready to try again. you'll have to unlearn a lot. you wont be in the sort of survival mode you're in now, but your mind body and heart wont know that.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@lovingdead he has changed I can’t tell, but still needs to change more, but it’s not my job to teach him that, and it’s exhausting. I better leave, and like you said unlearn all that, I hope I can . Thank you
lovingdead · 36-40, M
@Theamy you can, its not easy but i promise its worth it.....and also know you're not expected to have unlearned it all by the time of the next relationship

Nothing good will come of this relationship.
I think deep down you know this too.

So what are you prepared to do about it ?

Anything positive is going to require some sort of pain, at least in the short term.
But I think you have to instigate it and you need to be strong in your resolve.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@Picklebobble2 I know it, sometimes I get confused but I know it’s because he’s manipulating me. Thanks! I’ll be strong

I can’t believe you have put up with this for three years! You need to get out, take some “me” time and get back to living. Don’t stop looking for a good relationship, it’s out there waiting for you.
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
It doesn't seem like he will be a long-term guy. Front what you described of him, its time to move on and fond someone who really loves you.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@Midlifemale thank you for replying! I’ve been thinking about that, I don’t want to marry someone who treats me like that. Today I asked him what he likes the most about me and he said “how good u treat me”… I hope I can move on.
Strict4u · 56-60, M
Nobody deserves to be treated like he is treating you and you deserve better my advice is go your own way you will meet someone who will treat you better
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@Strict4u thank you! I know I deserve better, and I want someone who will appreciate me more.
Strict4u · 56-60, M
@Theamy don’t give up you deserve a great relationship

Keep "feeling like" you will do the right thing. "Feeling like" doing something is how you solve problems.

Duk no.

You are going to waste your youth and end up miserable and unwanted is what will happen.

Figure out what you need to do to start taking actions, including therapy. You need real steps. Thinking and feeling like is nothing.

@Theamy DO love how all of you people keep threatening me with a good time though.

Girl , is he rich at least? Did he buy you a Mercedes? Because no woman should put up with a narcissist like him for free. He is very stereotypical and there thousands of men like him and worse.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@Younameit all my friends said he’s a narcissist too! And I know it, he’s so manipulative. You’ll be sooo mad to hear this… he’s not rich, and worse, he owns me money, Idk what I was thinking, I know better now but I didn’t when we met, he’s my first bf. I’m scared that if I leave he won’t pay me back
Younameit · F
@Theamy Forget about your money at this point, leave for your own sake, and if you have an ounce of self worth left. The reason he acts like this with you, aside from being a POS, is because he knows you will stay, so he behaves the way he wants, because there is no actual consequences for him. He will probably leave you when you’re an older woman with wrinkles and not attractive to his standards anyway, so leave first.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@Younameit thanks, I think so too. And since he’s a narcissist I just know he’s not gonna change, they’re born like this. The only thing I can do is leave
B2nd2none · 41-45, M
You should find someone else.

@UnderLockDown he said he stopped looking at those, and he deleted all social media and I can’t find anything on his phone. But I can forget he’s done it. Now the problem we have is him cursing me every time he’s mad, and he gets mad for small things like me accidentally dropping something. We can go a day without him being mad, yesterday he said my voice was annoying… but I wont accept this anymore, I’ll do something about it.
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
He's emotionally abusing you.
Theamy · 26-30, FNew
@PinkMoon yess, and it’s my fault for letting him do that. I always try to explain what he’s doing and he makes it my fault. Theres only one thing to do and it’s to leave
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
@Theamy It sounds like you're describing my ex😂
