Ending an emotionally abusive relationship
Relationship Stress / by Pintsize1

...See more I should be proud of myself, I should feel free, but it hurts. I've broken up with this guy many times. I always go back, but I'm determined not to this time. He constantly accuses me of cheating on him, asks me what I'm doing on my phone, and what I've done when I'm not with him. He never wants me to go anywhere except work. Not even to the gym. He is always suggesting how I can do things better, I find it condescending. He's told me I have no real life skills and I'm useless to him. He's said that I'm a horrible parent and that he hates my child. He blamed my child for us breaking up because I refused to physically punish him for being disrespectful. He told me all my relationships will fail because of my child. I have chronic nerve pain and he used to tell me it was made up and now still says his pain is just as bad and everyone hurts like I do. This time when I broke up with him, he'd been complaining about my son and my parenting for about 30 minutes. I told him to quit and he wouldn't. Since I left this morning all I've heard is negativity despite blocking him on multiple apps (facebook, sending messages to spam, etc.). I told him we just aren't right for each other. He agreed a couple times, but kept asking if I was mad still. I continued to tell him we weren't good for each other. He told me he resents me for wasting his time. I don't deserve him. He isn't sure how my child turned out so horrible. He called me a miserable f*** and stupid b****. It just hurts. I've loved him since I first met him and he's always treated me so cruelly. I told him to stop the emotional abuse and he said none of my problems are his fault and he's done nothing. He said he's glad I feel bad and I should. I told him to stop criticizing me and he said you can't criticize someone who does nothing. I've cooked, cleaned, bought groceries, let him borrow my car, bought him a new couch, been loving and attentive. None of it was ever enough. Now he blames me for leaving, but I'm so miserable around him. After all this, I just want to tell him I'm sorry, even though I've not said or done anything to him. I feel like a failure at life because I couldn't make our relationship work, but I know deep down that there is nothing I can do to save it.
