Is this emotional abuse and what can i do about it?

ME Asked by kayciemarie2010 about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

my boyfriend is constantly getting mad at me for stuff that really isn't that bad and he gets majorly pissed off over it.. he says that me telling him how I feel is a mind game... he makes me feel like I'm worthless all the time.. the only time he really...

seems happy with me is when we are alone and doing things... we've never had sex though... all of my friends think I am but I'm not sure.. I feel sad all the time... and I've started to worry if what I say or do will make him mad.. I'm kinda scared of him when he's mad because he kinda has an explosive temper(not the worse I've ever seen but still bad).. if I dont want to do what he wants me too I feel guilty... does these seem like an abusive relationship? And if it is what do you think I should do about it? I'm scared to get break up with him because I'm scared of being without him.. idr what it was like before he was in my life and I'm scared of what it'll be like when hes gone

Your boyfriend should like you and respect you as you are, NOT as he wants you to be.

I'd seriously consider ending the relationship.

You are afraid of change because you like the idea of being in love or wanted. But this relationship is not to your advantage.

You can comfortably break up with him if you realize that in doing so you are opening yourself up to the possibility of a much better relationship coming your way, even possibly the one with Mr. Right.

Think positive, be positive and do positive. It's your future that matters and is important. Do what is best for you.

I agree with ethmer. What you're describing sounds like a horrible relationship - I can't imagine that being without him is worse than being with him. Your partner is supposed to bring out the best in you and care about your feelings! Sounds like you are not compatible at all. You're only dating... and the whole idea is to find someone who you get along with, not just any old guy will do. And especially not one who's treating you badly.

Ethmer has told you something very important: You are afraid of change because you like the idea of being in love or wanted. But this relationship is not to your advantage.

Very well said.

Being alone will not destroy you, however being in an abusive relationship can slowly eat away at your self confidence and your happiness...

To quote ethmer
You can comfortably break up with him if you realize that in doing so you are opening yourself up to the possibility of a much better relationship coming your way, even possibly the one with 'Mr. Right'.
