I am in a toxic relationship and can’t seem to leave. It’s been 5 months so still early days. He has lied several times, about different things. I found out he had been meeting up with a friend I had no clue existed. When I found out about her (she called him one evening) he said she was just a friend. I later found out however she was an ex who he became friends with after. He apologised and said he’ll do anything to not lose me, and he told her he can’t see her again, but I can’t get over the lies and the hurt. On one occasion he also talked about how I have small boobs and he’d usually prefer bigger which caused me to feel extremely insecure.

The relationship has made me feel so low, so hurt and so insecure, but I can’t seem to leave. I think I’m just so afraid of being alone. I really need to let go but can’t seem to do it. I wondered if anyone might have any advice?
