Emotional abuse

I've realised the last few days I'm being emotionally abused. He snapped at me this morning and hurled aload of cruel stuff my way. I just need some support and help if anyone can help

Are you able to leave? Sorry this is happening Flowers

How long has it been going on?

I left 7 weeks ago due to emotional abuse and cohercive control. I'd recommend getting in touch with womens aid or a local charity of the same nature.

Confide in real life people if you can. Get a support network around you.

So sorry, it is a rollercoaster but emotional abuse is wrong. Sending love x

If you need to speak to Womens Aid, be aware they won't speak to you if your partner is nearby, as that puts you at risk.

We thankfully don't live together. He's unwell mentally himself and has various problems going on. I've been on the end of his moods for 15 months. Lots of highs and quite a few lows. He's been calling me names all weekend and angry. Blaming me for ruining us with my phone. Even though he's always called and messaged me throughout the day He's developed an obsession this last week that I am a nightmare with contact. I'm really not.

I've been buying his shopping and lending him money. Then today he's completely punished me by blocking me everywhere. Saying its over because I'm the biggest nightmare he's ever met.

I sent food to his house last night for us to enjoy this weekend and now he's cut me off.

I have no previous experience with this stuff snf grew up in q stable home. So this really is my first time and I'm horrified I've ended up caught up in this. I don't know what to do.

If he's said it is over, then take him at his word. He's the one that sounds like a nightmare.

Block him and don't be tempted to go back if he calms down and decides it was a mistake.

Life is too short to put up with this kind of shite.

I feel like I need some help to explain what's been happening and why. I'm just hurting so much right now.

Yeah I've mutually pushed back today and said I've had enough. I've tried to express to him the lack of appreciation he's shown for the things I've done lately whilst he's been on his arse out of work. His response was don't use that against me.

I don't recognise him and I don't understand what makes him flip to such a horrible person from a loving person.

It's good you don't live together, makes it easier to ignore him. Hope it wasn't too much money you lent him.
