Why can't you leave him?

This doesn't sound like a healthy relationship for either for you.

That's TERRIBLE! but that being said,if you refuse to leave him you have to accept the consequences of staying... You deserve much better than what you are putting up with,why do you choose to stay?

Wanted to know why you are with him?Do you feel you can't do better? ...and we know that is not the case........a boyfriend, a significant other, would want the best for his love, not the worst!

Thinking of you!

You say you "won't" leave him. If that's the case, what advice would you want from us on the forum? Stay for 4 more years and continue to be abused? Of course not. You need to dump him. Now. You know this. He will not change. He will just find more ways to abuse and control you.

Find a therapist to help you work through the problem, which is your willingness to stay with someone who abuses you. Therapy can help you get the strength to (A) dump this loser and (B) improve your self esteem to the point where you won't jump into another relationship with the same kind of guy.

Be strong! Life passes by faster than you think and there's no reason to spend it unhappy!!!
