Good morning,

been together with bf 4 years. Im almost certain he is a narcissist. He can’t show any form of empathy, reassurance or will never take blame for anything he does wrong.

if he does something and I get a little bit upset he will say get the violins out or poor you. If I ever mention to him that all I want at these times is just some love in any kind of way he will lose it. Like lastnight. Told me to get out of his flat.

so yesterday and I do apologise for being rude. He phoned me and mentioned he was Randy and would love it if I sucked his d…. Now this is pathetic and sad at the same time. I know if I agree to this then he will be nice too me. He is nice but I lack a huge amount of an emotional connection with him because I honestly think he’s incapable of being loving towards me if it doesn’t involve sex. So saying I would do that I hope he will give me what I need from him .

hours went by. I got home from work, showered, sorted my house out and went up to his flat. It took him a good hour then to come to bed because obviously things he needed to do and he showered. As soon as he gets in bed he turns around and starts kissing me. Puts my hand on his d… and it’s hard. Keeps kissing and he said are you going to do what you said? Now and I know it’s my fault for saying i would then not being in the mood too said i don’t want too now and also I feel like I got a cold sore coming .

he said well we ain’t having sex unless you do what you said. And he kept on and on . I said no a good few times then he turns over. He does this all the time. And it could be over anything. He has always got to get his own way and will sulk if he doesn’t.

im laying there feeling sad, bad for not doing it and anxious. After a good ten minutes he looks at me and says sulking because I won’t give you d…. I said no you just upset me . He gets up and goes to get on top of me for sex i said 3 times I wasn’t in the mood. During sex I wasn’t in to it and I could tell he wasn’t either . So it was all pointless.

he didnt speak to me after it just lay there watching tv. And I still feel sad from just before . I get up and put my clothes on and then he says whats the matter . I hate telling him because it always ends in an argument. But I did . And maybe I worded it all wrong , maybe I am in the wrong. But I said I hate it when he keeps on and said he uses sex as a weapon.

i then mentioned that he will by me stuff and hide them and unless I suck his d… he won’t give them too me. This hasn’t happened for months now mind.

he was extremely annoyed. Said here I go with the sob story’s. And said it was my fault I shouldn’t wind him up and say I was going to do it if I wasn’t going too.

he then told me to get out. Which I did and I have not heard off him at all. I want to know have I really made all this up in my head ? Has he got any right too be annoyed at me? I know it’s my fault for saying I would . There’s been numerous incidents where things like this has happened and I think it maybe triggered something in my head . I wasn’t angry but just felt and still do feel sad. Thankyou

This has been deleted by MNHQ for breaking our Talk Guidelines.

There is no need to call him and tell him anything. Blocking and deleting is quite enough. And then OP can decide whether she wants to report him to the police for rape.

charlieandjenna · 16/01/2026 11:52

Just get the F@*ck out of there asap. RUN and don’t look back!!!

AwfullyGood · 16/01/2026 14:35

I'm sorry this happened to you.
None of it is your fault.

Please leave this man now.
He is extremely abusive and no good for you.

ThatFairy · 16/01/2026 14:41

I think you are being seriously abused. It isn't normal to tell your partner to get out of your house over a disagreement. He should not be pressuring you for sex. Please get rid of this horrible man from your life and focus on being happy. You will never be happy with his man he is too screwed up in the head

BMW6 · 16/01/2026 14:43

Have you posted before about him under a different name? Awfully familiar.........

JLou08 · 16/01/2026 15:00

He raped you. He sexually and emotionally abuses you. You need to cut all contact with him whilst it's easy. You have your own home and I'm assuming no DC. If you carry on like this you will sleep walk into being completely under his control and feeling trapped in his home with children and no means of easy escape. End the relationship, now.

No means no!!!! He’s abusing you, I would go as far as this is classed as rape. So sorry for you, he’s a monster. 🥰

SpaceRaccoon · 16/01/2026 15:33

I've voted YABU, because why in the name of fuck are you with this awful man? You don't even live together, why hang around and put up with this absolute nonsense?

LadyDanburysHat · 16/01/2026 15:35

This man only wants you for sex. He doesn't like you, he certainly doesn't love you. He treats you like crap and you are allowing it. Walk away, in fact run, and never look back.

And then please look at why you have such low self esteem that you have put up with this for 4 years.

cocog · 16/01/2026 15:45

You did accuse him because he did rape you you said no and he continued anyway sounds like he emotionally manipulates you around sex always. Get rid of him you could have a nice respectful relationship with someone who cares about you and your wasting your life on that abusive monster. Block him and move on or better still report him to the police.

Vaxtable · 16/01/2026 15:50

YABU for not leaving him before now

block him and don’t engage any more

Mischance · 16/01/2026 15:56

He abuses you verbally, speaking to you as if you are dirt on his shoe, he forces sex on you . ..... and you have not taken the decision to remove him from your life?
I find this incomprehensible.
He is a dreadful dreadful person and is only getting away with this because you lack the self-confidence to require a higher standard than this.
Take the decision to value yourself more highly and cut him.out of your life.
There are decent men to be had, but he is not obe of them. Remove him from your life right now.

Thats because he raped you

TallulahBetty · 16/01/2026 15:59

Dump.

Also, you can say DICK on here.

Megifer · 16/01/2026 16:06

Dunno about anyone else but upsetting a rapists feelings wouldnt bother me a shred.

HE DID!

report him to the police and never go near him again!

ibuprofenhead · 16/01/2026 16:09

He’s a scum bag. Leave him and don’t go back. He doesn’t love you OP; nothing you’ve described is love.

Proccy · 16/01/2026 17:09

Bin him immediately, he doesn't care for you and frankly he's showing you he doesn't. You can do much better

Tillow4ever · 16/01/2026 17:17

He did rape you. Would you consider reporting this to the police? You don’t have to, but if you want to, there should be support there for you.

Either way, this relationship needs to be over. He’s abusing you and you are questioning your sanity essentially. Of course you should be upset over this - you should be apocalyptic! Block him on everything, change your locks, and if you can see a therapist to help you work on your self esteem.

AllTheChatsAboutTea · 16/01/2026 17:54

Rape doesn’t have to be violent with you pushing him off. It can be quiet and coercive… him pestering you until you give in even though you don’t want to do it. That’s still rape.

You deserve so much better than this man. He’s ruining all your self esteem and confidence, to the point you are doubting yourself.

Is there anyone you can turn to for help to leave him, if you don’t feel strong by enough to just dump him?

PickledMuffin · 16/01/2026 17:59

Get rid, he is a nasty person. coercive and abusive.

Sorry, wait, OP has been with him for FOUR YEARS?
WTF?!

Please leave him OP. Four years late is better than never.

And you never ever apologize for changing your mind about sex at any point. He's an abusive raping piece of shit.
This is no way to live and you deserve much better.

Text him it's over, block him, change your house locks if he has a key. Be happy.
