Should i run?

I've been with a man on and off for nearly 5 years. Mostly on. Its gotten to the point where I think he's taking revenge on me. At first, he was a huge loser, and I left him. I went back to him after a year cuz I missed him and I told him I'd leave him again if he didn't get a real job (I've always been employed and he did odd jobs)
He got a job and now years later he still has his and now makes bank and told me to quit my job so I did and he still has his and he constantly puts me down and has started to make fun of me and insult me.

We're so far deep into our shit relationship that I feel trapped.
Is this bullshit normal amongst insecure women?

I feel like running away. I think I hate him.

I don't know what to do.

Is It Normal?

  • Sounds like a control thing. If it were me, I'd run, but obviously I'm a detached third party. Do what your gut is telling you...your instincts are usually always right.

  • He sounds like a jerk. You deserve someone better who doesn't put you down, you should leave him.

    But you should have known better than to quit your job just for him, especially when he just asked you to quit. Was there a reason he asked you to quit?

    You gave up your biggest means of independence and really, your ticket out of there, by giving up your OWN income. You rely on him now.

    Sounds like he just wanted to trap you & he's succeeded. :(

  • "He got a job and now years later he still has his and now makes bank and told me to quit my job so I did and he still has his and he constantly puts me down and has started to make fun of me and insult me." has his what, job? he makes bank? u mean make money? just want to make things clear. i really think u should separate. i can't really understand because i've never been in this kind of vicious cycle before, but just know that you two are obviously not compatible with each other and he's emotionally/verbally abusing you. if you really miss him stay as friends...(?) although i wouldn't good luck. i hope other people will give better advice.
