Too sensitive?

I've been with my bf for a year, we do conflict a bit and I'm at the stage where I'm not sure whether to continue or not due to compatibility mostly, although not an easy decision when I have feelings for him.

Any how, am I too sensitive or is his criticism make him a knob?
He'll say things like I don't like your shoes, I don't like the pub you brought me to, your putting on a bit on weight, not so many compliments and affection which I what I really want. Is it normal to say things like this?

@Poppinjay yes you're right this isn't the kind of man I want around my children.
I could never trust him alone with them or even with them.
He was abused himself as a child, I guess it's where he's learnt his antics

What shame he couldn't break the cycle.

Walk away and don't look back. You and your DC deserve better than this.

I ended it yesterday, the final straw was that he used my bank card without my permission, he lost his card and wanted to buy things on his gaming app, so I let him use my card the day before with him transferring money over to mine, he had saved my card details and used them the next day without asking, he did transfer the money over but I still think it's disrespectful and that he's chucking his money away when he doesn't have much.
Feeling a bit sad today and knowing I need the strength to get myself together again

Keep strong. You really don't need that kind of shit in your day. And your kids sure as hell don't.

Well done OP! Take time to grieve but you have done the right thing for you and your dc and I'm so glad you had the strength to break things off before things got really nasty. Hugs while you're feeling low and wishing you much better times to come x

Well done OP! You've saved yourself and the kids a world of trouble. Be kind to yourself and read around on the web about signs of abuse. Some are moe subtle. Build up your self-esteem Thanks
