Where do I begin, my DBF & I have been going out for the last 18 mths & Monday night I finished due to various reasons as he has been very stressed with his divorce, business,his dc etc & he been taking it out on me, also him saying things wherent right between us.He just walked out & never said anything.

Well Last night he came round to talk and basically he said the reason he has been like he has is that I have made him paranoid by the fact my abusive ex husband came round to the house drunk in the early hours last june banging on the door & then this november ringing up at 1am so he thinks I have still been sleeping with ex & leading him on since ex & I split 3 years ago.And the fact that I am civil to him for my 2ds sake he thinks there is something still between me & ex h & I need to sort my head out And also the fact that he doesnt believe I love him as I would have said it to ex h & a BF that i went out with when I was 18.And that he doesnt take the word love lightly well neither do I.But on this basis he thinks I do, So on this basis he cant possibly be with me even though he loves me, loves everything about me, enjoys being with me & going to miss me like crazy he cant live with thinking like he does. I just broke down in tears & begged him not to go (sorry no will power) which in turn caused him to cry. In the end he ended up stopping the night & we both cried all night. What do I do? Is it my fault? I have deleted his numbers out my phone. Please need some advice as feel so much pain & sick at the thought of not being with him as I love him so much & we make each other happy. Do I just leave him alone?

Oh no I spoke to him last night he told me he misses me, and asked if I miss him to been crying in the shower for 20mins this morning. It hurts so so much. I am weak I know.

You're not weak at all. Just grieving for your relationship and sad at realising that he is not the person who you fell in love with.

That strength is still there. Don't let him manipulate you.

Crying is good. Better than bottling up all your emotions. And after each cry you'll pull yourself together and get that little bit stronger. I promise

He's already got you questioning yourself and wondering if it's all your 'fault'. Next you'll start thinking if you could just be nicer/better/sweeter/more attentive, you wouldn't 'make' him act like this.

I think he trying to manipulate you and break you down in order to isolate and control you. Before you know it, he'll be making you drop your friends and relatives because if you love him, you don't need anyone else.

And what generally comes after that?

I agree with Hecate. Nobody other than him is making him paranoid. And unless he is prepared to accept that and try and sort himself out, I would run for the hills.

Yes I know you are all right in what you are saying. Its just your emotions get in the way sometime & stop you thinking straight. Could just burst into tears as I thought it was for keeps & my 2ds thought the world of him. Not told them yet as I do feel a failure.

Must pick myself up for tonight out with my friends & tomorrow night aswell.

Just hate how I am feeling at the moment.
