Is this a rhetorical question? In a relationship there must be trust and respect. By using our partner in any way is not acceptable. We want a true relationship, if we use people or manipulate them for our own benefits it seems more fake to me. Everyone wants to be happy in any kind of relationship, but knowing that u are being used you won't be happy. How can you, if you know that you can't trust your partner.

If your partner if using you and you are sure about it then yes you should break up no matter how hard it is, or if you dont want this to happen. Because ur partner should appreciate you and love you, not use you..

Is there a yes or no answer to this question, or do you have to go with what your head (or your head) tells you to do because, ultimately, one will always overrule the other. I suppose a question you have to ask yourself is is it "using" or is it "abusing" there's a fine line between the two.

Definetely. You may love them, but you deserve someone better than that. Noone deserves someone who just uses them. You deserve love, care and respect. Get out of this relationship as fast as you can and let the right person offer you what you deserve.

It depends - how do you mean "using" you, and are you being objective. This is a rational decision. If you are unhappy and you are stressed or uncomfortable around your partner you should remember who you should love and care for most of all - yourself.
I've been through trying to help someone who abused me emotionally and manipulated me for over a year, the best thing I ever did was make the break and then stop any communication.
Best of luck.

It is not a healthy relationship anymore. I think it's best if you break up with your partner. It may seem hard, but that's the right thing to do.

Well that is for you to decide. No one else should have a say in it but yourself, but i mean if you are being used by your partner what would be the best thing you can do for yourself? The answer lies within and the answer within is the answer you should go with. Don't doubt yourself either

Yes you deserve to be treated like your cared about, loyal and caring. Hes not actually dating you if hes just using you. Hes just not a real man

The situation is difficult. First you need to ensure that you have the facts, and if you do, making a decision based on the facts can come down to whether or not you feel as though those actions are acceptable.

Do what you think is right, don't rush to conclusions! :) Talk to them about it and how it is making you feel uncomfortable, then do what you think is best for u!
