Is it normal for me not wanting to be called a bitch?
I have me in a relationship for two years now. He is 53 and I'm 44. My boyfriend has a lot of issues. He calls me a bitch because I stand up for myself. He accuses me of being with someone else, he is smothering this has been going on every since I have met him. And he is upset that I'm not affectionate enough. I just can't get the way he treated me out of my head. I want to be affectionate but the damage has already been done. I tried telling him the reason why I hate the word bitch so much is because when I was 12 years old I was being called a bitch while I was getting raped by a man my mother knew. I have flash backs and every time my boyfriend calls me a bitch I see that man's face on my boyfriend's shoulders. He started off this relationship disrespecting me.
