Please don't let this youg man change who you are inside. I wound up in a 19 year marriage where I was emotionally abused. It took me a long time to realize what was happening to me. I was always wrong.... I worked my way throuh night school for my Masters, moved to a place where she could get hers.. but instead of being proud of me she would through it up in my face, saying that I was arrogant... she would never forget the smallest mistake I made and threw it up in my face when it was convenient for her.... made fun of the music I listened to... on and on and on.

Over time I lost who I was as a person. And, this set me up for a divorce, I lost being with my children whom I love so dearly. And then a deep depression ensued culminated by a series of very poor decisions.

So, address this head on. Deal with it now before it gets worse. If you think this person could be your life partner get to counseling to see if this problem can be resolved. If not then it would probably be best for you to move on. The consequences of being in an emotionally abusive relationship can be devastating.
