Absolutely Devestated

Hi guys,

So after this time last week my partner telling me he's trying his hardest to make it work and loves me and wants us to stay together, the next day he breaks up with me and I've pretty much been a wreck ever since.

By the Saturday he'd decided he's fed up of trying with me and doesn't love me like he used to, and that our date we had planned for the Saturday night to try and reconnect he doesn't want to go on. Now, we've had a lot of break ups and make ups after a week in our short stormy relationship...all of the bad things have happened since we moved in but this time it doesn't feel the best at all.
I should mention at this point a couple of weeks ago his father had a mini stroke and now they've discovered a brain tumour which the family find out the severity of next Tuesday. The whole time his father was taken to hospital I took time off work, was at the hospital all weekend and doing the general stuff a girlfriend should do, so I'm not quite sure if his fathers illness is behind this like my friends seem to think.

Anyway, since Sunday he has refused to move out just yet, stating he wants to but in a couple of weeks when he decides he wants to. I pleaded with him to just go to his parents (where he's moving back to) for a few days, they live five minutes away and mine are 20 miles and again he refused. He won't not sleep in our bed, it's him that doesn't want to be together and him that should move to the sofa yet he won't. There's no physical contact other than this morning (which I'll explain next), and he spends his time flipping between completely ignoring me to talking very sweetly, realising what he's doing and then stopping quickly.

Then comes my problem, I've sick since this time last Friday. I have a raging hunger yet whenever I take a bite of food I'm straight to the toilet trying to throw it up. Since last Friday (so unfortunately I can't even say it started when the break up did), I've hate probably around six bites of food, all I can drink is water and again it comes straight back up. On the toilet first thing every morning throwing up and the other one. No concentration, I can sleep but then wake up and it starts all over again. Yesterday evening, he'd made a pizza for his dinner, I asked for a tiny part and he refused! This morning I've woke up and it's even worse even he can see that, I tried to cuddle into him in the corridor and he gave a half hearted cuddle back, then got me a dish to be sick in and a glass of water without me even prompting which is a first! However I've been wretching for the best part of an hour now inbetween typing so called NHS 111. They're asking the urgent care centre to call me, I can't tell him as he'll accuse me of attention seeking or something so I literally am on my own, having to stay off work, sick in bed and without him.

With this and him being like this with me I'm absolutely devestated, it's my little sisters wedding in a few weeks and I can't even think about not going with him. Sorry for the long post and to be honest I'm not really asking anything, more just trying to gather my thoughts and write it down.

What happened to 32 happy years, gone in 2 weeks

hoobygalooby · 17/10/2014 15:00

'you had me but messed it up'
Seriously?? He really said that?
What a complete tosser.
He is using you and bullying you and you are letting him.

Boot him out or leave him. You deserve so much better x

Hello,

So here's the update since yesterday. I crawled out of my self pity and went to my Grandma's leaving party, had a really good time and met a lot of nice people. Came home a lot later and he was still awake, followed me to bed ten minutes later so was obviously waiting up for me. Was pleasant this morning to me.

Tonight - He came home, Inews due to go out in half an hour, he's going to his friends house to drink. And this is what he's said

-He can't be nice to me because then we will end up exactly the same way as before
-He still loves me and wanted to cuddle me but was scared of the repercussions
-He's definitely moving out next week, up until now. He would consider sharing the house but he wants to think about it
-He is scared of being nice, can feel tears welling up when he was nice just now to me

I went to leave the house to go out and I told him I'm sorry for how things have ended up and he's said 'Good because it's all your fault' but in a rather joking manner, like he was messing about.

So yeah, I think it was easier thinking he hates me than knowing he loves me and is finding it hard too!

He doesn't love you, he loves fucking with your head which is a completely different thing. I know how hard it is to walk away but honestly in a year's time you will be so glad you are shot of him and his pathetic behaviour...

2minsofyourtime · 18/10/2014 19:48

He doesn't love you! He's manipulating you to control you. Everything he says is about him!

He's realised he's pushed you to far and now he's trying to manipulate you into thinking you've done something wrong.

Leave him! You will never please him and will spend your whole life trying to please.

Why did he wait up for you? To try to control you a little bit more.

Why does he spend an hour on his phone at night? He wants you to say something, he wants to argue with you so he wins and gets that little bit more control.

officeworker · 18/10/2014 19:55

I don't actually know why he waited up because he never spoke to me, unless it really was coincidence. He keeps saying he doesn't want to hurt me or lead me on by being nice to me and that's why he's closed off now and pretty mean. When he was nicer earlier his face softened and he looked just like that person I fell in love with.

Maybe he's just decided to tell me this now so I have a terrible night out while I try and second guess his next move!

OP posts:
officeworker · 18/10/2014 19:58

And also asked me to text him as he couldn't give me a lift to the bus station due to his friend picking him up so that 'I don't end up feeling guilty if you get stabbed at the bus stop!' I know out place is rough but I don't think I'd ever get stabbed!x

OP posts:
FelicityGubbins · 18/10/2014 20:04

He waited up so he could deliberately ignore you, he is getting off on messing with your head.
I had a boyfriend like that when I was 18-22 and finally getting pissed off and dumping his arse was the best thing I ever did!

HearMyRoar · 18/10/2014 20:05

You went out and had a nice time without him instead of following him around being miserable. It is hardly surprising he felt the need to reel you back in by offering you just a little crumb of hope, just in case you started to think you could be happy and didn't need him anymore.

Don't fall for it!

officeworker · 18/10/2014 20:10

It had occurred to me why he felt he needed to say this as I was about to go out tonight, and also why in bed last night he made sure his leg was constantly touching mine, which he hasn't done since this started.
Everyone keeps saying its because when he sees I'm having fun without him he doesn't seem to like it

OP posts:
FelicityGubbins · 18/10/2014 20:20

Everyone is right! he doesn't want you, but he doesn't want you to be happy without him, he is a nobber and you will be so much happier without him!

2minsofyourtime · 18/10/2014 20:22

Yes he's trying to reel you back in. If you're not with him he can't control you.

He doesn't want to see you happy! And doesn't want to see you having fun when your meant to be mopping round the house bowing to his superiority.

Change your behaviour: telling you won't be texting him as its fuck all to do with him as you are not together.

Go and have a good time.

2minsofyourtime · 18/10/2014 20:23

*Tell him

justiceofthePeas · 18/10/2014 20:27

Try to stop making him the centre of your world. You are not the centre of his.
You need to stop worrying about what he might do if you go home. It is over. You need to get to a place where you can see that is actually a good thing.

you can do better.

Tallypet · 18/10/2014 20:34

It seems like he doesn't want to be with you but is still keeping his options open.

How old are you office?
Is this your first serious relationship?

officeworker · 18/10/2014 22:48

I'm 30, he's 27.

Honestly this is my best night out in a long time and I did test and say I miss him and not even a text back!

OP posts:
VSeth · 18/10/2014 23:07

Surely on a fab night out like tonight you don't actually miss him?

officeworker · 18/10/2014 23:34

I actually do! Every song that's came on has reminded me of him, I want to go home just for a cuddle and I know he'll be in. I've text him twice tonight and not had a response either

OP posts:
ThePinkOcelot · 18/10/2014 23:52

Stop texting him!!! Do you like being treated like shit OP, because it looks like it to me!!

officeworker · 18/10/2014 23:55

I don't actually, I just love him and want to be with him more than I could ever say. All I can think about is going home and being in the same room as him and getting hint I cuddle me or something.

It's sad I know but I gess drinking does that to you!
