I've been with my boyfriend for just under a year and a half. For the first year everything was pretty wonderful, the odd thing here and there made me think that's a bit odd but generally speaking he was everything I wanted and we planned this amazing future together. In the last six month cracks have begun to appear for me and I'm losing that happiness. I would like to know your thoughts on this. So 3 weeks ago during a disagreement he called me a selfish c*unt I was totally taken back by this, it's a horrid word and to me should never be said to your other half, argument or no argument. I explained how it upset me and made me question his respect for me. Two nights ago I went to hug him and accidentally touched his side which was hurting at the time, I instantly apologised and he called me a stupid woman. I again was taken back and said that's a horrible thing to say, he apologised but then asked me to apologise for hurting him. I'm left feeling really crappy and that he has no respect for me. How would you feel? Is it not a big a deal as I think? Thank you for any replies Smile

So impressed, Op.

What did he say? Was he stunned? Lost his whipping girl, hasn't he? 😁

His reaction is very weird! He is now been so so nice to me saying that yes it's the right decision to split up, he is so proud, hopes we can stay in touch, hopes I find the man I want who will "put a baby inside me" .... my step dad is going to help drop the remainder of his things back at his house tomorrow then I can get my house door key back and can start to properly put a end to all this! The future of dating again petrifies me because of how my MH has left its mark on my body but I refuse to stay with somebody because of it! But I guess that's a whole new topic 😅 x

You’ve done so well to see through him! My STBXH went into this mode - being super nice, telling me I’d meet someone else one day and it would break his heart…he couldn’t sustain it. Now everything seem to be my fault Hmm

I would suggest taking a break from dating. Do The Freedom Programme online (it’s only about £15). It’ll really help you see the patterns of behaviour and should help you going forward when you are ready.

Stay strong!

You are 29 and want to marry and have children? Not with him surely?

Hmmm. Watch out. This could be him laying down crumbs of niceness to lure you back in a few weeks when you might be at a low ebb.

Don't forget who he is......
