Just need an outlet to vent

I thought my DP was the one, but lately we cannot agree on anything unless it's me agreeing with him that is.
I think I'm about there with this relationship, even if we aren't having an argument he talks over me, shuts me down and never lets me finish a sentence. He knows he does this as every time he does it I call him out on it. There's just so many issues going on with us at the moment that I can't see any other way out other than separating.
I've tried to talk today and yet again I've been shot down, he's totally blameless and I aren't allowed to finish a sentence.
I'm not going to drip feed because obvs there is a back story to this. I just need an outlet to get this off my chest.

You know the answer. It's not working.

I know Sad
Hardest part is he's not a bad guy deep down but we are totally incompatible- even incompatible down to communication.

This relationship is not working for you.
Sounds like it's time to start making plans to leave.

Nice guys don’t act the way he’s acting.

AgentJohnson · 08/05/2022 13:34

You don’t owe him a relationship.

Can you have a break and see how you go ?
Do you live together ?

We do live together. I'm not sure who would go where on a temporary basis though. I don't think he's bothered about separating anyway. He seems pretty chirpy even though I've been upset this morning and he hasn't bothered to follow on with the conversation of yeah we need to speak and either get past this or go out separate ways. I have blanked him about an hour ago when he decided there was something he wanted to tell me but I'm not interested in what he has to say.

It's just going to go around in circles Until the end of time.

Of course he’s chirpy, you got back in your box like he wanted you to. He is controlling you with his actions.

Begrateful · 08/05/2022 14:11

Do you have children together?

I can't believe it's come to this and I haven't seen the signs. I've had a previous abusive relationship and thought I knew all the signs Confused stupid me.

You’re not stupid.

Purplecatshopaholic · 08/05/2022 14:27

I’m sorry op, but this seems to be the end of the road and you know it. Dig deep and end it - you’ll be happier

muddyriver · 08/05/2022 17:08

I've ended it. Not much of a fight was put up - and it's clear he blames me for everything. Wherever the blame lies I just want to move on. Somehow I need to figure the rest of this out.

Well done, stay strong and think of the end result.

Its not that uncommon to go from one abusive relationship into another one. The abuse you've suffered is not your fault; this is all on the person doing this to you. Your boundaries here, already skewed by previous abuse, have been further battered by this person now so you need time and space in which to heal.

Enrolling yourself onto the Freedom Programme in person (it can also be done online) could help you in your recovery from his abuses of you. Womens Aid are also worth contacting.
