Idk why so many people believe love equals accepting being ill treated.

Your friends tell you to leave because they care and, they would love to see you with someone who respects you, also seeing you respect yourself wouldn't hurt either.

Idk what to say honestly, its saddening and maddening to read threads such as yours and I know my replies aren't exactly welcomed. Not everyone is open to reality checks from strangers...

What would you say to your (hypothetical) baby sister if she was in your shoes and came to you for advice?

Would you tell her to suck it up in the name of love? Tell her that love means accepting being disrespected, distrust, online affairs and feeling like you're never good enough? Would you condone her sacrificing her self-respect in the name of love? Would you blame her for not being supportive enough, thus causing him to seek female attention elsewhere?

Or would you encourage her to find someone worthy of her love and devotion? Tell her that she's worth more than she realizes and that she's settling for so much less than life has to offer? Wouldn't you want her to be with a man who respects her and treats her like she's the only woman alive, a man who RETURNS her love and adoration?

Because if I had a baby sister, the latter would be my input, and if I were in your shoes, the exit would be my direction.

Remember this: Love is not enough.

If it were nobody would really split up because usually atleast 1 partner is inlove.

Firstly love needs to be RECIPROCATED in order to be true, secondly it needs to be accompanied by trust, honour, respect and kindness in order to survive.

Love alone is never enough, and love shouldn't be used as an excuse to condone being treated badly.

You not being supportive enough is no reason to indulge in such behaviours. I suggest you find out what it really is that keeps you with him and take it from there, that's essentially what you need help with...
