Confused

I feel that my partner is emotional abusive because he's always cross with me about something. He says really nasty things to me and puts me down a lot. He raises his voice at me and mimics me. He accuses me of things that I haven't done or said. When I point this out, he says that I don't listen and he hasn't said that. However, then, he goes and does the washing up or hoovers the bedrooms. And I'm lost as to why. Why does he remain being sporadically helpful to me, whilst putting me down and being angry with me? Sorry but its not making sense to me. Is he emotionally abusive or am I just reading too much in to his moods? Sorry this post is boring but Im feeling down and confused right now and need some logic.

Run for the hills. Don't waste one more minute with this man.

Leave as quickly as possible. Do not waste your time and energy on why he does this as the answer is likely due to his own deep rooted issues. Remaining in am emotionally abusive situation will serve only to destroy your self worth and mental health. His behaviour is likely to escalate over time. All the best to you

But why does he do the washing up??

Who cares why he does the washing up. It's not a declaration of love snd adoration. Maybe he just likes a clean house! Being treated like crap is not balanced out by a bit of housework.

Raise your standards. There are lovely men put there who will do their share of the housework AND be nice to you as well. That's what's normal!
