does anyone know the signs of an abusive friendship.

particulary between a male and female.

I can't figure this out

but, I'm thinking I'm ready to end it

but, I keep getting sick every night

because I'm scared too.

hopefully this doesnt sound too dramatic!
he lives an hour away from me,
only when I go to visit my parents would i ever see him
but, i know he wants to see me this weekend.

but, the point is... i'm technically pretty safe and everything.

my best friend of 9 years, thats a girl...keeps begging me to get out of this...
i am at the point where i can't even mention his name in front of her. lol.

Jazzy, your gut tells you when things aren't right. You already know the signs, you just haven't been listening to yourself. Why are you scared to end this relationship?

Warning signs of abusive personalities (may be triggering!) http://www.hiddenhurt.co.uk/Abuser/signs.htm

But I definitely agree with Sannah - if your gut is telling you something like "get out of this relationship" then that's something you really need to pay attention to!

he's cursed me out and been very forceful with me on the simple things, so on something bigger like this, ummmmm... idk...i just don't want him to overreact.

i would do it over the phone, most likely....but, i just caved and texted him about something irrelevant and ughhh i know i shouldn't have done that..... he's a hard person to be around, it feels like i am a friend with someone who has a split personality...theres this part of him that is WONDERFUL and then theres this other part that is not so wonderful.

Why did you feel the need to text him?

because of something that happened last night. its over now though. i stopped texting him but, i'm sure when i come back in town he's gonna wanna hang out. but, i'll just say i'm busy. i guess i'm trying to deal with this situation passively, like never hang out with him...and be distant. i'm hoping that will work.
