Is my boyfriend manipulating me?

I have been really depressed lately (and cutting myself) and my ex-boyfriend sends me a text saying HE is depressed and sends me a pic of his "cuts". He asks me out and I say yes because I felt guilty, I felt like i was the reason he was sad. Then he starts touching me in places I'd rather not be touched, and I was so scared of what was happening but I always said "He's happy". Later I found out that the cuts in the picture were fake, it was only red pen and bad lighting. I'm a "doormat" so when I confronted him about it he said "baby, don't break up with me"....and I listened to him. Now I'm cutting more than I ever have in my life and I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I'm so stressed and depressed that I can't eat or sleep. My parents don't know anything that is happening because if i told them, I would have to tell them I cut too. Is my boyfriend manipulating me?

Yes, He is 53
No, He isn't 2
I think so 7
I don't think so 2
Maybe, idk 7

    Yeah, get rid of him it would be okay besides the fact that he just wants to fuck you and leave.

    Not only is this bung hole manipulating you, but he's mocking you as well. I certainly hope he's your ex by now. I would sever all ties, he's a selfish, manipulative jerk.

        Just do it! If it's too hard then break up with him via text then block him on the phone and any social media. It's completely inappropriate and just plain mean for him to mock your mental health problems by faking self injury. The first time someone lies to you should be the last time that person lies to you, because lying ought to be a deal breaker.

        Lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me.

    First of all, don't cut yourself. You don't need to do it. Second, fuck him. (not litterally) He is a bad person and influence for doing that. Find someone who actually cares about you. I hope you get better soon. Peace.

    He's horrible!!!!!!!!!! If he was a normal person he would make it up to you and help you to stop cutting.... I think he's a bad influence in your life, i really think you should get away from him and start getting yourself busy. try not to be home even if you feel like it, try to get out and text your friends!! good luck dearrr hope everything improves pm if you need anything xx

    Dump that asshole, see a professional, please get better. You should respect yourself and the only way to do it is starting anew, without people treating you as a tool. You should just talk about this situation more, get a load off your stomach, at least. And if your boyfriend does not accept the break up and starts being violent, call the police straight away. There are many people out there who want to help people like you, but you havd to let them.

    Smh. He's trying to get in your pants. It is alarming to me that he would fake suicidal thoughts to get your attention. If he does anything drastic, you should tell the police.

    Stay strong, Leave him, And enjoy life!

    watch some motivational videos, realise that you have a place in this world and either get some help or show the world you're strong enough to help yourself, because you are! You can pull through, You're gifted with life, sensibility, rationality, consciousness, memory, a strong body that you should try to stop harming and start using to its fullest! get that exercise, enjoy the world, Go for a hike, maybe camping? talk with family or friends. There's more to life than that sorry excuse of a relationship, You can do better, you DESERVE better. Good luck and i wish you the best! Stay strong sweetie! :)
