    Verbal abuse can lead to physical abuse. The keyword is abuse, and you are being abused. Don’t stick around to see if the physical part happens.

    It mostly always gets worse dear, my bf only started physical abuse after 2 years of being together.. save yourself and your sanity and don't waste anymore time and effort on him.. his mean words/emotional abuse are already red flags that he is a toxic and troubled individual and most never change even when they swear they would and the neglect or abuse gets worse over time:C

    It sounds to be like your boyfriend has one of two things going on One he has a piece on the side,Or you are Not satisfying his needs and he's looking for a easy way out,And I believe you will be experiencing a more violent individual very soon I would Strongly suggest that you get out now while you can still walk away.With the Holidays coming you will feel like you are walking on egg shells.I don't understand why anyone would allow this B S from any Man. Get Out. Now.

        You say he keeps threatening to break up with you, And you just said he doesn't.? That doesn't make any sense,You say one thing and then try to justify what you wrote.??

        ... because he wants to control you via threats and intimidation. He is not a nice person, and he does not deserve you, honey.

        What I mean about you walking on eggshells is soon the verbal abuse will lead into physical abuse,And you won't know when that's going to happen. Just be very careful.

        What that means is he is involved with or want to be involved with someone besides you, And it's his easy way out.

        • like i'm confused as to why u say he wants to be with other people..? if he wanted to hookup with someone else besides me he wouldn't have me over 5 days out of the week and be in a relationship with me.. he threatens to end it bc im being stubborn, and annoying & he wants me to learn..

            He easy way out is if he keeps threatening you one of these day you will tell him it's over But until you wake up he will continue to use you,And he has you sleep over because of his sexual needs.You mentioned that he doesn't drink however he enjoys going out to the bars while you sit home, What do you think he's doing going out to the bars.??

    • usually if i ask him questions about why he goes out to bars and clubs if he doesn't drink, if i don't leave the room when he's stressed out and when he tells me to, if i "accuse" him of cheating which i really don't sometimes he says stuff or i find stuff out and i ask him what's up

        Those are all terrible reasons, dear heart! He sounds like a sociopathic toddler throwing a hissy fit, because he wants to have everything his way. He's a VERY selfish person!

    Why would you stay with someone like that? Just dump him like the massive poo he is. Seriously, do it!

        He's verbally and emotionally abusing you is what's going on right now.

        I do want to ask you why you supposedly don't leave when he asks you to though?

            Hmm... well, I think you ought to leave for the sake of your own sanity, serenity and last but certainly not least for the sake of you self respect. He's not a normal healthy person. He should not talk to you any kinda way.

    You don’t have anyone to blame but yourself in this situation. You pretty much gave him an open invitation to treat you like garbage. Really are you that desperate or did your daddy also treat you like crap and that’s just what you’re used to?

    Or are you fat?
