Possible to fall back in love x

Has anyone done it xx

I've only been with my boyfriend a couple of years...I keep having to give him the same feedback like....stop being mean to me all the time.

The other day...two weeks ago we went out somewhere (he always behaves nasty towards me in public) and he was snappy, cold, nasty, abrupt like he is a lot. And I suddenly blurted out, "I hate going out with you" which shocked myself more than him I think.

He says he gets frustrated with queuing and waiting around when we go out and that he takes it out of me.

Since...I feel like something has switched off inside me. I dont feel like I'm in love anymore. He says he will try harder and that I need to give him the opportunity to do so. But...i would but feel like there is no going back this time x x :-(

This has happened to me, with less easy to explain to him reasons. I’m trying to find it back, but it’s really hard. It mainly just leaves me feeling really sad for what I’ve feel like I’ve lost, and that I’m leading him on. Be honest with him, and keep being honest with him. It’s the second part I’m finding hardest.

Two years in and he is so vile you’ve fallen out of love with him ? ..... leave and don’t look back, life’s too short to try to make things work with someone who is fundamentally unpleasant

Don't force it, if he is having to try harder to be nice to you and you are having to try to love him again then what's the point...

Why would you want to be in a relationship with someone who is always nasty to you in public?

When is he nice to you? Let me guess, at the end of the evening when he expects sex?

I would say once the switch has been flicked that's it. When it's a slow decline in love I do believe it's possible to work back up to full force, but when it turns off like a tap (been there) it's gone.

It's just a question of how long you spend continuing to twist it before you resign yourself to the fact that it's well and truly stuck.

Your body is telling you something, listen to it. It has had enough and feeling that way is perfectly valid.

Instead of trying to convince yourself to give him another chance, listen to your gut and take this opportunity to give you the strength to get away from this toxic relationship.

You know you shouldn't have to explain to him NOT to treat you like shit. He knows. He just doesn't care. Because he wants to treat you like shit. You don't need to give him any more opportunities, you don't owe him that and don't let him convince you otherwise. He is a rotten egg and there is no excuse for his behaviour.

He is abusive. He is the one with the issues. And you need to leave him, not love him.

He sounds vile. He won't change.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 14/07/2019 15:24

He doesn't sound like he has much love for you so why bother

Well I never got it back with ex when that switch flicked. That was it.
