And yet another notch in my messed up history of codependance....

I've always been in relationships (both platonic and romantic) that have been detrimental to my mental health...this is just the latest.

I've known "M" forever....Hated him for awhile (he was besties with my abusive ex)...lost contact, got back into contact...messed around, left him broken hearted and didn't talk to him for a year....
Fast foward to a year later, we get back in contact, he tells me he's been in love with me since the day we met, we agree to date....messed up drama happens at my apartment so I move in with "M"....
He becomes angry at anything and everything....drinks with a purpose, treats me like ****....I move out.
We decide to continue dating without living together...at first it's okay....but now I'm realizing I'm nothing more than a booty call...after multiple arguments where he accused me of loving him less than he loves me, and accusing me of using him, it has finally dawned on me that I'm the one being used. I'm just mad at this new realization.

Well, every person we spend time with be it friend or possible boyfriend/girlfriend is a lesson package. You can't always blame yourself, if you don't learn from this and keep repeating, then you can blame yourself. You made the right choice, saw the writing on the wall and ended it, you learned something. (you did end it right?)

You get to a point where you can see the signs someone is toxic and you choose to walk away from them.

Learn from this and walk away until you find someone that appreciates you.
Thanks for this!

I'm kind of passively aggressively ending it (by not calling and posting snarky statuses on FB...lol)

Move on, for sure.

Even if you loved him less than he loved you, it would not be a crime. there would not be any fault involved, because you (or anybody else) cannot will your feelings. It is not, say, "accusing somebody of habitually failing to take out garbage until vermin appear in the garbage pail".

He cannot accuse you of loving him less than he wants you to love him, or, loving his less than he loves you. A person can be SAD when his partner loves him less than he loves his partner (in reality or in his mind, matters not), but that is all. Just SAD. If he starts accusations, move on.

On a more general note, a person should be able to enjoy giving love without being reciprocated for it fully, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot etc. He is unable to do that. Whether his "accusation" is true is actually irrelevant - that he MADE the accusation already reveals that he expects eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot etc., and that is not very nice and not very altruistic.

So, no point.
