I have never been lucky with love my entire life. i spent 6 years in love with a guy who was mean, cheated, lied... and i finally managed to stay away from him in march 2014.
earlier this year i met someone else at work. he showed interested in me, we used to talk a lot and text. we used to work together. at first i didn't really want to have anything, because we worked together, and because i didn't trust men at all, but i finally gave up.
like 3 weeks after we met he asked me to be his girlfriend. i was a bit shocked because we barely knew each other, but i just thought hey i never get to land a boyfriend anyway, so i thought i would give him a chance.
the first month was okay. he was caring, did nice things for me, gave me a lot of attention, tried to please me, and i eventually fell in love with him.
we have been together 6 months now, nearly 7. and things totally changed. he is constantly at my place. he tried several times to make me move in with him and his mom and i refused. i need my own space. hell, i feel trapped at home with my own family, imagine living in his mom's place.
but anyway, he is always here. like he comes and goes whenever he wants. the place we worked at closed, i got unemployed and he was lucky to get a job. so, according to him, i cannot go out when he is at work cause it is disrespectful. like going to the beach for a couple of hours, he yells at me and makes me feel like i'm doing things wrong.
intimacy is worse. he is selfish. he usually approaches me for sex when he wants, but hardly kisses me or anything. just does his part until he is done and does not care to ask if i liked, or anything.
this man sleeps at my place, eats here, watches tv, i normally stay awake until 2-3 am that is when he comes home, to give him dinner. he is not capable to give me a kiss, a single little gesture of affection. last night, after ignoring me for days, he comes home, didn't even kiss me or anything, and hasn't for a week, and comes up with "are you gonna suck on it or not?" ... i was shocked and got offended. then he laughed and said he was joking, we went to bed, he told me "hey i have a hard on"... i ignored it, so he rolled over and slept. this morning, he left for work without saying anything, just left... and had the nerve to text me at noon to ask me to bring his lunch LOL when i have to take at least 2 buses to get there..
i was pissed and refused. then he started to verbally abuse me again. he normally does this. when things don't go his way, he yells at me, goes fast with the car when he is driving, throws things.
he never laid a hand on me, but he verbally abuses me. and i once had to get in between him and his mom or i thought he was going to beat her.. so if he can beat her, it's a matter of time until it turns to me..
i want to leave him but i am scared. scared of what he might do. when we fight he threathens to leave, and i'm like go ahead, hoping he will, but usually next day he is back, with sweet talks and pretending like nothing happened.
help! any suggestions on what i should do?

Look at what my best friend did with my picture!

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
He is not a good guy AT ALL. Just because you dont have a job right now you can't leave a house like a prisoner??? I don't think so that is BS he is playing games with you and he needs to go.
Stand up for yourself and break it off you will feel so much better after you do trust me I've been there.
Don't wait because the longer you wait the harder it will be, and even when he acts nice and promises to make things better he NEVER will. LIES LIES LIES
LEAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I packed all his stuff and he moved to his place. But we have not yet cut contact. He still has my pet bunny at his place, and some of my clothes. I am afraid he won't return anything or hurts my bunny.
He has been calm so far. We talk and see each other but definitely not like a couple. In the end, he practically just talks to me when he needs something.
He is running a website for a local football club, and he usually contacts me just to lend my camera so he can photograph games, or asks me to do anything on the site (i know my way on webdesign and coding)..
There has been no physical contact. Even if i wanted LOL he ignores me that way..
Funny this is he updated his facebook profile picture with a photo of me and him taken some months ago LOL
And he keeps on liking asses and boobs on instagram.. i told him about these exercises i was doing daily on the ipad, to improve brain functions and recommended. He said he was too busy in his life to play this shit... i told him well less time on facebook or instagram could do it.. and he got defensive like "hey while i'm there, it's called working... !" LOL
i wanted to say, is checking porn instagram photos considered work? but i was afraid of his response so i didn't say anything..
this guy is A JOKE
It will be hard, but the reason he is this way with you is because he has problems and is taking them out on you. If he sees you strong, he may feel he no longer has that hold on you. So if you do decide to leave (I pray you do), be strong and hold firm. If you take him back, he knows he has total control over you.
The very fact you say you want to leave him highlights the fact you know how abusive he is. Get out babe.
I hope you will feel even more empowered to stand your ground!
