Do i have the power to make someone violent?

I really need some help and advice I feel so bad and depressed .here is the story I was in a violent relationship before for 2 years only found out the last 6 months he cheated on me a lot and I knew it but ignored it cause loved him a lot I was 23 he was 10 years older and drank a lot ,called me horrible names then it got violent and I never did anything was so sweet to him but and I broke it off eventually as so fed he use to hit me in public , however after a year i thought my luck had changed I met the most wonderful guy on the planet very sweet and kind ,generous on top of all that super handsome as well, we didn't live in the same country 7 hours flight distance he came to see me every 2 weeks just for a weekend however I noticed that the first time we went to a party together he called me a b..ch and got a little to friendly with my friend I was upset he told me he was super drunk and doesn't even remember but I got scared I liked him so much told my friends about it they called me paranoid but I couldn't get over it somehow I think I knew what was coming another guy who has no control when he's drinking and much worst unpredictable I ignored it as everyone called me crazy and we had some fights about it as to me I was drunk wasn't a reason enough ,anyway he showered me with expensive gifts we travelled a lot together he seemed a bit controlling but it didn't bother me but after a year while he came to see me I took him to our company Christmas party he wanted to beat my colleague up cause he put his arms around me and my colleague is much older so I didn't think was a big deal I was so shocked and embarrassed we came home he yelled his lungs out till morning and called me a wh..re and I like attention and want to be molest.ed by a older guy ,until I said sorry we got engaged 2 months after and I was meant to move to him however that's when we got into many fights he would pick on anything and once at a party when he was very drunk and I was upset and just ignored him for something silly actually he lashed out and called me all kinds of names and insults in front of people that's when I saw the red flag even though I was childish and silly I could not believe that this is how he is when in a fight then after that I picked the habit of calling him mental and crazy and psycho which I know was wrong but I just could handle the humiliation in public and all the f.ck offs in every fight I was so hesitant to move and delayed it same thing happened a month later he just easily got offended when we were out and if I danced with girl friend on the dance floor he would tell me iam running away from him we went home he punched the wall took my engagement ring out by force in the morning was all fine again but he blamed it on me like usual , however after much convincing from his side I moved to him left my job friends home and moved it was a fight from day he actually beat himself once in order not to hit me but he eventually got physical with me once ,but iam totally torn now as he actually broke up with me and said I made him hate himself and that's not the real him I have made him like that , iam absolutely broken and I blame myself, he said between all the efforts and love he gave me I should have moved right after he proposed he also use to do drugs now and them when younger but told me he had stopped I found out he still does it eventually ,but it's so weird as he's such a nice guy to everyone else but with me he use to be sooo sweet don't know what happened,has done a lot for me he did admit he had temper issues we even went to counselling but he told me I lied to the councillor and he never beat me even though I had bruises he very much denied it.

    I really appreciate your honesty , maybe it is true that I attract drama and always think maybe I can fix someone's issues as both boyfriends so amazing when normal until the dark side rises, iam not looking to be a victim but simply looking to understand my own mistakes ,. the reason for no paragraphs is simply cause i was very upset while writing it I do apologise,,but iam not sure if iam dramatic ,I simply hate fighting I think it's normal for people to get into arguments as a couple of course as no one is perfect and we all make mistakes but fighting and yelling is not ,doesn't it matter how a mistake is handled ? I do realise that iam not perfect but by no means would I ever embarrass the person I claim to love in public as that to me is taking it too far and that's something your spouse would not forget ,as no matter whose fault it should be resolved in private.

    You can still make lots of mistakes and correct them,the first few times it happened I mentioned that he was acting crazy and he was behaving mental as he wouldn't calm down,my neighbour almost called the police , but later on I did actually call him crazy in other fights when he started beating himself on the head as that's just freaky and not normal as I disagreed with him on a subject ,his response was even if iam wrong you should agree and never use the but word with me.

    He use to get bullied in school as a child and that left him being very insecure and sensitive ,yes I might have provoked him but how are you ever meant to know that something so silly can cause such a massive explosion .

  • You are not responsible for his violent behaviour. If he feels that upset when he's around you, then he should get away from you.

    The impression I got from your huge wall of text (paragraphs would have been considerate), is that you tend to be a fairly dramatic sort of woman. Your tendency for drama could actually be drawing negative situations to you. It's possible that you could be pushing this man to his limits. When you get into a fight, how much responsibility do you take for your part in it? You mentioned that you participated in name-calling, so you might not be the faultless victim you want to believe you are.

    My apologies if any part of my comment upsets you. My hope is that you will consider your own role in all of this. I've personally witnessed some female friends antagonize the hell out of their significant other, then accuse him of being a violent jerk because he finally snaps and yells at them. Maybe that's not you but if it is, you need to change yourself.

    If I'm totally wrong here, then there are plenty of other good comments here with more appropriate advice for your situation.

  • Dang. You missed so many warning signs girl, and missed so many chances to turn back. I hope you learn from your poor judgement :(

    You do not have the power to make someone violent. There is no force in you that compels men to be violent. You only get to knew these guys well enough to see their true violent colors that were there all along, and it's not your fault these traits exist. He seems like a pussy who is blaming his horrible actions on you to screw with your mind because he is too immature to take the blame unto himself and see the monster he is.

    I also completely agree with RoseIsabella and I wish you the best.

    Iam actually very independent financially as well as otherwise but I work in finance which is very much a male industry so my boyfriends were never okay with it as it requires me to travel a lot and have lots of meeting , we both come from very good families both parents still married and very happy I have no alcoholics in my family they don't even smoke , his parents are very nice as well but he told me that as a child his father never paid too much attention as he was working a lot and showed no affection , he also has suicide in his family don't know if that can cause anything he says he's a shy person and hides behind alcohol but he isn't a alcoholic as only drinks on social occasions .

    You're missing a lot of red flags along the way and it would serve you well to not date alcoholics anymore. I can't help but wonder if one or both of your parents were alcoholic and or abusive or neglectful in some way. There is definitely a pattern going on here that you're not seeing. It sounds like you could be codependent and or dealing with some adult child issues. Ask your therapist about it and check out these websites.

    If I were you I would take a break from dating all together and focus on myself. I wish you all the best!
