No, he seemed quite alright at first. After a while, he thought he owned me.. per say.
Bump! :biggrin: xx
Have you had a gender change?

Unless it's a really sensitive subject, can you describe how he was abusive to you, or otherwise treated you badly? I hope it was only emotional abuse (not that that is acceptable either?)

I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm glad you left. You should always be free :hugs:

Do you think he was the jealous type? I say this because one reason that I messed up with my ex was because I got a bit controlling. She had a guy friend who I accused her of wanting to leave me for a few times. But that was because she talked about him so much (like stories about him would come up on dates, annoying) and flirted with him a little when he was around. Not that it made me OK to accuse her of these things but I was hurt. I never stopped her seeing him or any friends but told her her behaviour was hurting me, and it didn't go down well, at all.

Was he anything like that? :smile: x

Yeah, I think he felt I was like his pride possession that nobody could talk to or even be alone with. It got to the point where I felt it was limiting my enjoyment, even at social gatherings. So I kinda said screw it and broke it off.. He's always apologising nowadays but I have no interest in him anymore. Especially now I've started university and he doesn't really have any life ambitions.

so would you suggest that if my girlfriend flirts regularly with another man including implications of hooking up on a date with him I should not say anything because otherwise I am a control freak? She flirted that they should go to the cinema together as a couple in front of me at my birthday party you see. But I now know I shouldn't say anything because it's emotional abuse :/

GOOD.

It's upsetting how hard people can find it to actually leave their abusive PoS boyfriends (and girlfriends) and how psychologically trapped they become. Not their fault, but good on you for getting out cleanly.

This is a normal reaction for most break-ups, unfortunately the emotions still apply when the other person is an absolute piece of excrement and has mistreated you, and is one of the feelings that particularly manipulative partners like to engender to trap people.

I blame the brain.
