I would strongly suggest leaving... I had a bf like this and I was too young and ignorant to know these draining tendencies were major flags. He was my first bf, so I just thought he was more high maintenance than usual.


In year 4 he became threatening whenever I spoke of taking a break to clear my head or wanting to split up, and in year 5 he beat me to a pulp.


That's when I finally left.


I would suggest a swift, sudden and silent exit.


Just so that there's no reaction time for him, which is in turn safer for you.
