Is it normal for my boyfrient to act like this? (see details)
My boyfriend whom I live with currently pays for everything (except my tuition which I pay for with my part-time job). Because he is financially supportive, I know he cares for me, BUT ... I can't rememember a day in the past little bit where he hasn't called me a b$%#@ or c$#@. For instance, today he called me a dumb c$#@ for accidently leaving the stove on after I finished cooking lunch. Yesterday I was a stupid b$%#@ for coming to close to a curb while driving. I understand he is extremely stressed with the burden of supporting not only himself, but me as well ... but it is normal to act like this? When he talks to me like this, I usually cry (desptie trying my hardest not to). He in return, imitates my crying and either tells me to STFU or tells me I am f'd. And continues to taunt me until I regain my composure. I have tried to talk to him about the way he talks to me, but he turns the tables and claims I am emotionally abusive for crying, and if he didn't love me, he wouldn't pay for everything. HAS anyone else experienced a situation like this or know of someone who has? IS THIS NORMAL when someone is stressed?
