I agree with the replies. It's not real love. He's using what's always worked. He wants sex and is pulling at your strings.

He's right. He's NOT worth trying to work it out with. You ARE too good for him. And maybe what meant more to you about this relationship was the stability and predictability. I'm not convinced you're in love with him, either. It's an addiction for you both and a fear of the unknown.

Do your future children a favour, BLOCK HIM. Rediscover who you are. Do some healing and sort out what's caused you to fall into an abusive relationship. There's always a deeper source.

Don't have children with him. You will lose them, one way or another, and probably in the least expected way.

Take care of YOU and your FUTURE and keep him out of your life. If you want healthier relationships, work on you first.
