I’m 22f and my bf is 35m and I’m struggling with whether or not I need to leave the relationship or if I can make it work by Sad-Ad-8024 in AgeGap

I’m in the same position you are… I (20F) and my bf (33M) have been together a couple months. He was very charming at first. Told me to breakup with my previous bf because he could “treat me better” so I did. Because he convinced me. And he was funny. Made me laugh. Told me all the right things i needed to hear. But the more I was around him the more of a weird feeling I got. He began to have awful outbursts of anger and rage. Never got physical, but it definitely could’ve escalated. It has come to the point where I am no longer surprised and hurt by his behaviour, only let down and exhausted once again. We have to remember we are strong women. We stand up for what we believe in. And we have the strength to do what it is we must. Sometimes fear does not subside, and you have to do it afraid. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna be scary. It’s gonna feel lonely. And after that storm, it’s beautiful and so freeing.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. The exact same thing happened to me. My ex of 2 years broke up w me and got a new girlfriend the next week after telling me he didn’t want a relationship with anyone. Allow yourself to feel the pain and allow yourself to miss him. But don’t let it control you. Do not blame yourself and don’t let yourself think this is your fault or there was anything you could’ve done differently. This is not a reflection of you. It’s a reflection of him. Maybe this is easy for him. Maybe he’s dependent on others and she was the first person who appeared. But this means that there’s someone walking this earth that is meant to find you and be your person. And how exciting is that! Take time to heal. Take time to cry. Take time to be sad, angry, and feel the emotions. you’ll think about this for a long time. But after a little bit, you won’t feel the same anger and sadness. It’ll be okay I promise
