What a prick! He beats you down after struggling. He says you're not up to your full potential. Good grief. Sounds to me you're much better off without him.

Like you're working hard taking care of your loved ones and going to school working hard at your self improvement. If he didn't accepted that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Sounds very superficial and harsh to treat you bad when you're down he lacks character in tough times.

Take this as a grain of salt, but that was very shallow. I got a bit riled up reading it because I know exactly that situation.

If he really loved you he'd stay regardless he likes you not what you can do for him.

Don't lose anymore energy or tears on him. Like if I sated someone who had beef with me broke up because I couldn't get a job atm, and trying to get a better job saving my money and taking care of my sick mother I'd be pissed for a bit, but know they aren't worth the trouble.

But in truth relationships do require beneficial qualities for one to stick, bit regardless it seems to me that he just bit off more he can chew.

Tbh idk hope anything makes sense
