Ugh where do I start. Well a year ago I have fallen head over heels in love with the most perfect man that I have ever met. He treated me like a princess and worshipped the ground I walked on. We fell in love fast and became engaged 5 months after dating. Recently, about 2 weeks ago, he's had very very stressing situations happen to him. His son is in prison on pretty bad charges, he has been working 7 days a week, he lost his drivers license so now he has to take the bus everywhere, he might be going to jail for a while for an accident that occurred and every penny that we've been trying to save up for goes to his lawyer and his son. He also has so many more issues, lately we have been trying to have a child for a year and nothing has happened, he also has a very bad relationship with his parents and has gotten in a bad fight with his step dad. I can go on about his problems but I won't. Well lately he has been treating me kind of bad, he acts more sarcastic and he has a short temper (mind you he can be sarcastic sometimes when he's in a good mood that's how he acts when he's playing around but now it's been more serious) and he used to be one of the most patient people in the world. One of the best men that I have met in my life, nurturing hard working, cares and treats me so good all the time but it hasn't been the same lately in the past 2 weeks. I don't know if the stress has gotten to him and he's taking it out on me and I should stick it out, or if he's really going crazy. See I know were not married yet but I don't want to leave him, especially when he needs me the most. I have talked to him about it lately and he just tells me that I ask dumb questions but that he's sorry and that he thinks he's going crazy. Is this a rut? Or what?

Agree with all pps.

Had experienced the nastiness before even living together.

You just can't have a child with this man.

Start from contraceptives and leave as soon as you can.

Don't stay with him, don't!

And true work on your self esteem.

Love people here they all are very open and helpful.

Start with the contraception now. Get your money out of the savings. Pack your bags and leave this is a train crash waiting to happen. He is now showing his true colours the honeymoon period has long gone.

This, with bells on!

I am always wary of threads where the OP claims to have met the 'perfect man' and hads been treated 'like a princess'. I would guess that you are emotionally immature. You are not a princess (unless you are 3 or 4 and got a costume from Father Christnas!) So you missed the signs of a rather chaotic (to put it mildly) person. Seriously, move on and get some support.

Run. Just run. Then keep going. And then run a bit more.
He sounds awful OP.

I disagree with all the posters who say get onto contraception.

No contraception is totally safe, and even a 1% chance of getting pregnant with this guy is too much.

Stop having sex with him.

twistletonsmythe · 27/05/2015 10:28

I totally agree Sallying

I know you'll feel you're kicking him when he's down. But frankly, you can't save him just by Standing By Your Man. You'll just get dragged down too. And fgs, even if you stick with him to the bitter end, in fact even if he were the nicest man in the world, do not bring a baby into this. Wait until all the problems are sorted. A baby won't make everything right, it'll add burdens, expense, distraction just when he needs to be concentrating on his own issues.

(I know it reads like an overly dramatic soap opera episode, but some people really do live like this!)

Sounds like a wifebeater in waiting.

cunchofbunts · 27/05/2015 10:50

See those tall pointy things over there? Those are the hills. RUN FOR THEM!

NowSissyThatWalk · 27/05/2015 12:29

Oh look the OP has gone Hmm

BolshierAyraStark · 27/05/2015 14:10

Fucking hell, where do you meet men amongst which this specimen would be considered perfect? Because he really really isn't Hmm

AyeAmarok · 27/05/2015 14:58
Hmm

There is so much wrong with your post that I don't even know where to start.
