I know...that's exactly what I'm afraid of. I am at the point now where I'm angry enough that I don't care if he leaves, and I know if he left now I would get through it okay. But it seems like every time I let him near me he just ends up hurting me again, and every time it ends up worse than it was before. I swear, it seems like it's constant competition with him...the more I tell him I need, the more he ignores me. I know it doesn't make sense but sometimes I really feel like he knows exactly what he is doing and he likes hurting me, like it makes him feel like he has the upper hand or something. It's exhausting
