Is my boyfriend a jerk?
I'm currently feeling so lost and alone. I want to escape but I have nowhere to go. At the same time it's unimaginable to leave because we've had such a good time...
The situation is this ; boyfriend lost his job and likely he's gotten depressed.
This has caused him to withdraw a lot... We live together so it's obvious and he's also easier agitated with me than before. An example from today is that he seriously said that it was my fault he lost his cigarettes because he dropped them when he was driving me...
He was also rude to one of my dogs and yelled at him for wanting to play...
Some days ago he called me an idiot, he knows I can't stand insults like that.
We've e almost been together for five years. It's been shitty for a month on and off, what do I do? How long do I 'have to' endure this and what can I try before I have to give up?. I've tried to talk to him I have explained that this behavior isn't acceptable and that it will make me want to leave.
I tried to tell him that he has to take full responsibility for his emotions and that he cannot put his failures on me.
