Thank you so much Cthomas for your story. I feel deep down that he truly does love me which I have never felt with a person before. I feel like he truly does believe that these actions are okay and seeing how they affect others is half the battle. And I do realize that I should have spoken up sooner and said "Im not allowing you to talk to me like this". I guess at first I just thought "I can handle some jokes every now and then because I make fun of him too" but eventually it just got to be too much.

That's why I'm voicing it now after 1.5 years because I don't want to go that far and get married for it to just escalate.
