To break up with him...

So I met a new man just before the lockdown happened, I was 2 years on from a horrible divorce with my narcissistic ex and was taking it slowly with the new guy. We were dating, having a few weekends away etc. Then lockdown happened and we became more serious as he started spending all his time here.

Fast forward 18 months now since we got together and we are having two issues. The first is that there is an issue of jealousy and nastiness when he gets drunk, he can't control his mouth and says needlessly nasty things to me, the second is that he's really hung up on money and keeps going on about how he needs a better job, comments that judge people based on how much money they earn etc etc. On the positive side, which is huge, he is really kind, can't do enough for me, has helped me with some huge projects in the house and basically wants to spend time with me, which my exDH never did.

I just feel like that's not good enough and that these negative issues are actually quite significant. Also that maybe once lockdown is over and we are back to a normal life, that these issues are going to become larger, when I want to go out and see friends, or we want to go out together to the pub and have a drink.

I feel really sad as for once someone was kind to me, I felt like the centre of his world but I also feel really concerned about these issues. I probably already know the answer but AIBU to break up with him for those two things. The jealousy thing is unlikely to get better right?

@sandybeaches74

Thanks everyone - I've now split up with him!
Yay!!! Stay strong! He may launch an assault of love bombing!!!!!! One of my exes used to go "Your my world waves" ugh the way he said it with such intensity sends shivers down my spine all these years later!!! Please throw yourself into some busy activity to distract yourself and get some trusted friends on board to help talk sense into you if you start thinking of going back x
