Evening ladies, I've not used this site for a few years because I was expecting and needed advice (i sadly didn't have the child in the end)

But im back and in need of Advice Sad

Basically my bf of 7 months, we are having problems and I have a few issues with how he treats me.

He made it clear he wanted me at first, dates, making an effort, complimenting me and for one minute, never thought I would be questioning his intentions with me.

After we slept together he admitted having a shady past (i understood but it felt as if he was bragging about sleeping with loads of women) my ex had the same sort of history and he cheated
So it set alarm bells ringing, we are long distance because he's in the army which makes it even worse.

He would always bring girls up, or be messaging a girl who looked shady, having a female best friend who he used to date (they act very flirty, my best friend said it's not normal) she's even said to him our relationship Is rubbing her face in it. We had drama over another girl because he wanted to fuck her Sad after arguing and how much grief he caused me.

Im no Angel I've ranted to friends about him and he's seen the messages
I even said yes to a date when I was single (me and my bf split because he told another girl he wanted to fuck her)
I feel guilty but he just doesn't make me feel worthwhile or loved.
He was the first to mention moving in together and he asked me to be serious
Even the first to say I love you
But he was taking the piss with his friend saying he's a commitment phobe and doesn't like attachment

He gets away with so much but wouldn't even allow me to wear a skirt on a night out.

He's made me look crazy to everyone even though people mention he's gaslighting me

He's called me numerous names during arguments
Like slag, crazy, psycho, stupid and sensitive.

Broke up with me so much
Think the worst argument we had was when he wanted his Mate to message a girl for him to fuck her
I broke up with him and tried to leave
He ignored me and said cba
Some guy offered me on a date and I said yes because I was fed up (single anyway, didn't want too but I needed to get away from him)

When my bf did take me home, he was shouting at me, driving recklessly all I did was ask him why he thinks it's ok to do that to me

He said nobody likes You, I don't love you, your crazy, too sensitive

He threatened to throw me out the car so I tried leaving
He began shouting at me again and took my phone away

Tried to throw it out the window and I begged for it back
He said he will hit me and punched the dashboard.

I was so scared but forgive him

He's gone away for two months and he's already acting shady and distant
We have broke up because I mentioned my ex
Because he asked

Long story short he split up with me, accused me of cheating (me and my ex have been split for 3 yeaes) he accused me of cheating with someone else and broke up with me to teach me a lesson
Within 10 mins he had added me back and demanded an answer

Im back with him because I love him but im fed up.Confused

Exhausted reading this. You both sound very young and dare I say come across as immature. I'd say he is mot for you and you are not for him. Sounds a right charmer saying he is going to hit you. Do you really not see what a nasty piece of work he is?? Anyway you decide just make the right choice.

Lotte954 · 26/06/2018 02:47

We are both early 20s
We have had some really good times together and the first 2 months he was amazing

I had nothing to worry about but he's just changed Confused I didn't want to be serious because I was afraid this might happen

But I gave into him

I think this time apart from him is my time to think about things

Monty27 · 26/06/2018 02:58

Find a good guy op. That carry on is just rubbish. Dump him straight away.

TroubledLichen · 26/06/2018 03:00

Another one exhausted reading that, I confess I mostly skimmed the latter half. But my take is he’s gone for 2 months, use this time to move on as he’s abusive and definitely no good for you.

AltheaorDonna · 26/06/2018 03:04

This guy is a complete arsehole and you need to dump his sorry arse. He's cheating on you of course, also abusive and generally a nasty waste of space. You need to get rid or you're in for a life of misery, its as simple as that.

category12 · 26/06/2018 06:15

Bloke is a cheating angry arsehole. Dump him.

callywags · 26/06/2018 06:18

Please just stop!
This man dies not deserve you, you will meet someone who will treat you right, you are too young to settle for this bullshit.
I know you love him but life is hard enough without having to have a life partner that treats you like shit!
Imagine bringing kids into this, please you deserve so much more

callywags · 26/06/2018 06:20

Plus 7 months in, it should be all light and happiness, not this shit, it will get worse if you stay with him

n0ne · 26/06/2018 06:21

LTB, he's a waste of space

confusedspace · 26/06/2018 06:29

Been through very similar very recently

He wasn't amazing in the beginning

This (the person who is is now) is who is he

The mask has just fallen off

He sounds abusive

I went NC blocked and deleted on everything if he has no way of getting hold of you you can move on at your own pace

This will just get worse

Im also speaking from experience of having an exH who was forces .... there will be a lot better you don't know as to what he's getting up to based on the little bits you told us
TRUST ME ON THAT .. TRUST YOUR GUT

Lotte954 · 26/06/2018 09:02

Confused space he even joked about going with a prostitute and told me they were all standing arou nd him

He said get used to it being in the army means I have to be in these places

LiteraryDevil1 · 26/06/2018 09:11

Didn't get far through that but why the hell are you with him?? He is abusive. Dump him. You are worth so much better than that. What a turd.

Uncreative · 26/06/2018 09:12

You are at breaking point.

So break up with him.

Problem solved.

specialsubject · 26/06/2018 09:13

blimey, have some self respect and raise your standards. 3.5 billion other fish, no need to waste time with this dickhead.

CommanderDaisy · 26/06/2018 11:40

Of course you are at breaking point. There are no redeeming features of this man at all. It sounds though the only reason you are still dating him is because you are frightened of his reactions if you break up.

You are worth much, much more than this. Fear is not a facet of a good relationship. You are young, seven months is a short time - imagine yourself after years of this shit.

Don't think about it. You'll only convince yourself he isn't that bad.
Dump his ass.

Karigan198 · 26/06/2018 11:46

Er wake up and smell the coffee. This guy does not love you. You are convenient to him that is all. He’s cheating, manipulating you, constantly breaking up and telling you nobody loves you. How long are you going to put up with this? You want 40 odd years of it??? If not leave now before it gets worse. There’s no future with this guy. Find someone who will treat you properly. I’m exhausted just reading the ins and outs of your relationship and it’s only been 7 months

ByeMF · 26/06/2018 11:55

This is seriously fucked up. If you stay you're in for an utterly miserable life. Dump him, block him. No contract. You've got two months to get over him.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 26/06/2018 12:01

Urgh. He sounds hideous. Find some self esteem and realise that you really don't have to put up with this crappy attitude; you can find someone much nicer(or just enjoy being single)!

You have no future but a miserable one with this idiot.

hellsbellsmelons · 26/06/2018 12:02

Jeeeezzz!
Please just re-read your OP.
This is your friend telling you all of this.
What do you advise her?
You would tell her to dump his lying, cheating, controlling, abusive ass.
So do the same for yourself.
Please also look into doing the Freedom Programme run by Womens Aid.
There are so so so many red flags here you seem to be ignoring.
You need to reset your boundaries and stop letting asshole men trounce all over them!

Cricrichan · 26/06/2018 12:08

Just skimmed read but if it isn't absolutely incredibly wonderful at this stage then leave him.

Singlenotsingle · 26/06/2018 12:14

Get rid NOW. No one on here is going to say anything different, so why are you waiting?

BuggeringNora · 26/06/2018 12:18

You poor thing - your self esteem must be in the gutter if you truly think that this nasty oxygen thief is all you deserve. He's an abusive shit, it's that simple. The next step on his agenda will be hitting you to 'keep you in line'. He'll probably make you think you deserve it too. YOU DON'T.
He's the one with the issues, he clearly hates women. Run as fast as you can and don't look back. Work on your self esteem, (the Freedom Programme can help here), take a break from men then, when you're ready, find yourself a good man who will treat you like a queen, as you deserve. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

MustBeDueSomeBetterFeet · 26/06/2018 12:19

So he could only act like a normal guy for 8 weeks of your relationship,

It will never last long term. Decent relationships do no start off like this.

Block, ignore, move on.

peachescariad · 26/06/2018 12:21

He's verbally abusive, controlling, sexist, threatening and he's cheating....this guy should not be around women and no woman should ever have to put up/accept or even consider being with such a cunt.
Be strong and take the advice on here.

PickAChew · 26/06/2018 12:23

7 months? It's not even like you'd feel like you've thrown away years of your life if you left him. You could very easily throw away many years of your future life if you don't kick him to the kerb, though. It's not like he's ever going to suddenly treat you better. He doesn't need to
