I see business is being taken care of here.
Sunshine, I don't have add anything to add, and my usual punchiness is limited somewhat at the moment. (hence the truncated user name)
Read your replies carefully.
You are still in contact then ? That is a mistake. Every little way you respond to him, gives him a gap to exploit (just like he has done every time before).
Relationship counselling is not recommended for abusive and controlling men. They find ways and learn new tricks to turn back what you say in the sessions on you. It's like sending a teenage thief to big prison.
The only counselling needed here is for you, to find out why you keep falling for the cheap and pretty words of a man who wishes to destroy you.
Btw, did you delete your latest thread? I looked for it to remind myself which particular controlling man we were talking about here, and it was gone. You got a lot of great advice on that thread and nothing here is changed, as far as I am concerned.
He said what he thinks you want him to say, and expects to go back to before. He won't follow through, of course. And you will have lost even more ground, for swallowing the lies again.
Stay firm. No contact. No empty promises. No nothing.
