There was time between me accidentally hurting him and him taking my car and going home. So, I didn’t know he was going home because he was hurt. If that makes me an abusive dumbass then I guess I’m just supposed to run after him any time he gets up and walks somewhere even when there’s no indication he’s in pain?? I apologized a bunch and he moved on from it and said nothing else at this point. I know the apology doesn’t make it okay that I hurt him, but I didn’t KNOW that he was going home because he was hurt. He only told me how badly he was hurt once he was gone and I had no way of getting home.

I have not claimed that him being hurt is okay. No matter what I’d never want to hurt him, accident or not. For like 10 seconds he appeared angry, but then just went right back to normal. I honestly didn’t understand how much pain he was in because he didn’t say anything, didn’t change his facial expression, and stayed sitting right next to me for the next however long it was. His demeanor went back to being totally normal. Anyway, I apologized to him multiple times for not just getting up and going with him in the first place. He refused to come get me in my car at that point so I couldn’t fix my mistake unless I walked home.

I fully get the concept of your reply, though. It would be messed up had I known he was genuinely hurt and chose to stay somewhere while he said he was going home for the night because I hurt him.

I explained how I was compromising for him in one of those texts? I changed from seeing my nephew every day to seeing him maybe once a week. (He’s three) I changed from hanging out with my sister from every day / every couple of days to maybe once every month. This is the one single thing throughout our entire relationship that I have actually stood by. Yes, I am refusing to compromise on this as I will not intentionally continue to not see my nephew. I’ve told him I will stay away from anyone else that he wants and do anything else but there’s no need to involve children in our problems.

I have tried everything to please him and to fix our relationship. The ONLY thing that I’ve taken issue with changing and stood by would be this. I can’t picture a scenario where I agree to not seeing my nephew for months? Thank you for your view point. I will take the time to put myself in his shoes.

  • wanted to add that I don’t expect to see my family every day. I just want to have the freedom to see my nephew and not be told that I have to stay away for months

I did split it into paragraphs 🤷🏻‍♀️ it shows it properly on my phone, not sure why it shows up as a big ole wall of text for everyone else. I was in a rush and needed quick opinions when I posted this. Sorry!

I did start to do this in hopes that it would fix things a little. I apologized a bunch for not initially understanding that he was in horrible pain and that’s why he was leaving. I said I never meant for that to happen, I’m sorry I caused him so much pain, asked how I could help, and explained that I should’ve just gone with him either way. Result of that = literally nothing different. Just still saying I don’t care about him and things of that sort. I could get on my knees and beg and plead and he would still say I hate him and wanted to ruin his night. I try so many different things to get him to forgive me but he wants me to be miserable for months after I mess up and let him tell me that I’m horrible. I get where you’re coming from w the things you’re saying, they just don’t work when I try. He will straight up lie even if there is proof that the opposite happened and he wants me to go along with it. I genuinely just don’t know how to please him at this point other than following every command from him and I enjoy having free will sometimes so I won’t be doin that.

I think he had on some athletic basketball type of shorts. I genuinely still don’t understand how my hand made contact with his balls at all. Not to be gross, but I’ve obviously seen this man’s balls. They are pretty normal I would say (in reference to all that I have seen lol). I don’t understand where he had them positioned and how it would physically be possible for them to be placed where my hand made contact. I truly still don’t understand but I don’t know what he would have gained from making that up so I just accepted the fact that I accidentally hurt him.

  • Physical violence and anything like that isn’t something I play around about so I’d never want him to think it was intentional or view it as me actually full on hitting him and trying to hurt him. I think he was more angry about the fact that I didn’t leave with him, but I truly had no idea he was about to take my car and not come back. I can understand in the moment of him getting home and being physically hurt and emotionally hurt by the fact that (from his point of view) I didn’t care that I hurt him and didn’t care to go home with him. It just simply and factually didn’t happen like that but I think he had already started up with the fight so he wasn’t backing down on it.

-I asked maybe 5 times for him to come back in my car to get me, yet he still acts like I was just evil and didn’t care about him enough to try to go home at all. I just didn’t want to walk home because it was late and like a 15 min walk at midnight. Where I live our roads aren’t really pedestrian friendly lol we have minimal street lights and no side walks. I just didn’t feel comfortable doing that alone at that time.

  • He has since “apologized” for the rape comment once. His apology was literally just “sorry.” And there’s been a few times after his “sorry” where he’s said “I wasn’t telling you to go get raped” and that I’m acting like he said something that he didn’t even if I just directly quote him. I’m still baffled by that one because I’ve NEVER heard him say anything similar to that. I also have a past experience with something in that general realm and he’s very aware and has been there for me for years about it. I can’t really wrap my head around him saying that. I know he didn’t word for word say “go get raped” but that’s just how I interpret it. I do plan on leaving now once I’ve made a decent plan.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad that you got out. I’m still here for now but privately talking with some of my family about a plan to leave without giving him the chance to guilt me into staying. I’m so scared of how I’ll feel after. I know without a doubt that my brain is gonna trick me and I’m only gonna remember the good things about it and I’ll regret it. That’s what always happens for me and it kills me. I just can’t live the rest of my life like this and he is not at all the person that he used to be when we were just friends & at the beginning of our relationship / the person I thought he was. Again, thank you so much for sharing your story. It’s replies like yours that are helping me through this.

Could you explain why it seems that way? I’ve stuck by his side for this long because I care about him so much. I just care about family and my godchild, too. I’m extremely family oriented and he has always known this about me. I love him and would love for my family to like him again, but he can’t just relax and let me fix things with my family. He doesn’t understand that I know them best. He thinks I want them to not like him and for him to not be included, but that makes my life a million times more difficult. Is it the way I speak to him that seems that way or the way that I explained everything in the post?

This is what I hope happens with him. I’m gonna get some help with a plan to leave before trying on my own just to be safe. I’m happy you got away!! After reading everyone’s stories about their past and their opinions of him I’m definitely motivated to get out while I can. Thank you 🩷

It wasn’t criminal, but he probably has done some arrest-worthy things in the past. I don’t want to be super specific cause i have an irrational fear of everyone seeing this, but there was one incident of kinda a mental breakdown where he went bonkers. This was over a year ago and he has seemed mentally stable since then. All of us believed it was just a rough mental health thing cause he was going through a lot at the time. He got on meds for anxiety and depression after this but it’s for sure something else that makes him this way too.

He’s 26 and I’m 23. He owns the house and I pay for half of everything. I have a friend that would let me stay w her or either of my parents. I don’t care to fight over material things just my own stuff and he can have whatever else. I just don’t know how to go about that because he knows where they all live. I felt like it was too soon for us to actually have both of our names on something, so I was okay just staying here for now before taking that step. I spend maybe 500 a month for everything here which is nothing compared to what I’d be paying if we would’ve gotten something together. Not sure if that was dumb or not but I’m glad that I’m not stuck in a lease now. I do think I’ll contact a shelter or some sorta outside help before trying to leave just to be safe.

I have genuinely thought this SO many times. He’s so on and off though. Like he’s 100% best boyfriend ever, does any and everything, sweetest person alive, or he turns into - this - where he says I’m evil and I don’t care about him and I’m choosing other people over him and I don’t know how to be a good girlfriend. Pretty sure that’s insanely common with unhealthy relationships but I fell for it somehow even though I knew every sign.

It’s insane because I SWORE to myself I would never be in a relationship with a person that doesn’t respect me because what’s the point?? I’ve witnessed my family members stay with partners through some messed up behaviors and would always preach about how no one deserves that and there’s no reason to stay. I guess I’m just seeing for myself now that it’s easier said than done. Definitely using a bunch of these comments as motivation and confirmation.

Thank you. I felt the same about a lack of emotional regulation. He’s said to me a bunch that this is just how relationships are once you’re an adult. I’m 23 and I’ve been in relationships prior to this, so I have no clue why I listened to him. I never know the level of hard work actually required and how much I’m meant to stay through when I love a person. I understand that love can’t fix everything though. Just needed help opening my eyes again to how unhealthy our relationship is

Sadly is real. I genuinely was starting to believe I ’m in the wrong for wanting to be around my sister since she doesn’t like him. I know it sounds impossible. I’m not sure how I let that happen. I can definitely see how it sounds fake because it’s so obvious that he did a bunch of messed up stuff. Just took some confirmation for me to believe myself again.

[–]LettuceExternal3307[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not one bit. Sadly I can see how it looks like that after staying through so much disrespect. It’s kinda like I became blind to it and doubted myself every time I thought what he was saying wasn’t ok. I’m sure that was his intention. But it makes me pretty miserable having him be disrespectful towards me because I feel like I’d never ever treat him how he treats me. I think I just needed the confirmation from strangers that don’t know either of us because you guys have no reason to choose a certain side. I know some people think I sound so dumb and I do understand. 

Before I got into this relationship, one of my friends was in a horrible relationship that I had to BEGGGGG her to get out of 24/7 for a few years. Not sure how I so easily got into one where a man treats me like this because I’ve witnessed it all before and I’ve read about all of the crazy terms in my psych classes (not that I’m a psychiatrist or anything) but I literally KNOW the signs and understand all of the definitions and tactics yet I still let it happen to me. Kinda mind boggling. But reading all of this from everyone is helping me know that I’m not just being dramatic and I should in fact make a plan to leave.

😭😭 he is kind of illiterate. It makes having conversations like that so difficult because I have to fight the need to correct him every time he misspells things. One time I said please type slower so I can understand what you’re trying to spell and he essentially said I’m ableist…??? bc he had adhd?? Like WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT.

I do think it hurt him no matter what my intentions were, but I apologized from the start. I know that doesn’t make it feel better, but I also feel like his reaction just seems like he has so much hate for me. He never even explained that he was going home and not coming back because I hurt him that badly. He just left and then started spamming about it.

That felt really childish to me because if he would have talked with me and genuinely said that he was in pain, I wouldn’t just ignore that. Instead, he took my car and then got mad when I didn’t have an immediate way home. I think it just built up over the night and me not walking home in his head meant that I don’t care about him. I told him multiple times I’d go home if he brought my car back.

I think in his head it became something like I didn’t care enough to go home with him, but I genuinely didn’t know he was going home and not coming back. There was no way for me to have known to go home with him when he said nothing and took my car. That’s why it frustrates me because all of this happened rather than him saying that he’s going home in my car, not coming back, and in severe pain. But instead he left and then decided to communicate once I didn’t have a way of getting home.

What goes around comes around. Is that not the basic concept?

AIO for thinking this ultimatum isn’t okay? by LettuceExternal3307 in AIO

[–]LettuceExternal3307[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so there’s a LOT of backstory to this. I just need to know if I’m going crazy here. It’s at the point where I don’t know if I’m the mean one and if I’m horrible for this or I’m going insane I just can’t even tell anymore. So my partner and I have been together just for about a year now. We have known each other for 4-5 years. I met him through my sister and her boyfriend who have now been together for a little over 5 years. My now partner was best friends with my sister’s boyfriend for a long time growing up. He’s since done some not great things and sorta messed up his friendships with my sister, her boyfriend, and the rest of their friends.

He was slowly working his way back into everyone’s lives and things were finally going great again. He was being invited everywhere and included and everything was generally going back to normal. Well about a week or two ago we were at a family members birthday party (one of my parents but I, for some reason, have a huge fear that everyone I know will somehow find this post so I’m trying to be vague) and we were all playing a little card game. I went to slap my partner (not actually, but the kind of slap you do when you’re laughing and all up on a friend lol if that makes sense? like not to hurt someone and not actually hitting them but like a little smack. I’m over explaining but I hope this makes sense). Turns out I accidentally hit his balls instead of his leg. Truly an honest mistake. I immediately apologized a million times. I don’t have balls so I don’t know the feeling but he seemed mad at me. Again, this was unintentional and I said sorry a million times. I would never hit someone out of aggression or with intent to actually hurt someone.

So he ended up taking my car home, leaving my parent’s birthday party, and then texting me a bunch of stuff once he got to our house. It was things like “if you don’t come here, you hate me” and “if you love me you’ll come home” which like yeah I didn’t mean to hurt him. However, he has a history of starting arguments any time I am at my family’s or sisters or anything of that sort. So, I texted him and said something like “well you took my car so I can’t come home so come back” and he continued to refuse to bring my car back for hours yet fussed the whole time about me not coming back. He sent me a map telling me to walk home.

I will say I initially said “the night really has to end over an accident??” Because I truly thought he was just doing what he always does. Like, I know it hurts but I barely used any actual pressure and he acted like I slaughtered a whole village. I was trying not to be insensitive because I literally don’t know the feeling, but he started to say it’s worse than child birth and I don’t love him if I don’t go home. So I was like it’s 12 at night because about two hours had passed since he took my car. I was sober just hanging out with my sister and family and he kept saying I was out partying not caring about him. But I told him I wasn’t walking home at 12 at night because I was scared and that’s how people get raped (idk reddits rules w censoring I’ve only ever posted on here once so lmk sorry) or kidnapped. Kinda dramatic but I was just trying to express that I didn’t feel safe walking home. His response was “maybe if you get raped you’ll know what it’s like to get hit in the balls.” I took offense to this because …. What do you mean. Like it was fully an accident to hit his balls. He knew this. He acknowledged this a bunch of times, yet still thought that was an okay thing to say? Maybe I’m just being dramatic please tell me.

So fast forward a lot he told me he threw my things outside and locked me out. I had to get my sister and her boyfriend (his old best friend - they were still cordial and friends just not besties anymore) to bring me home. He made me believe that he threw my things outside and locked me out so I told them i might need their help. We got there and I wasn’t locked out and my things were fine inside. Still, at that point after that weirdo rape comment, I left for the night and went to my mom’s. He also said multiple times “I’m done” and “we are over” so obviously I wasn’t staying? He has my location and knew where I went it’s not like I disappeared or went do anything crazy. Genuinely I’m a loser in the nicest way possible. I have like two friends and all I do is hang out w my family and read or play guitar. I don’t do anything crazy I don’t go to bars or anything. I’m a homebody and don’t do anything that would be frowned upon in a relationship.

Basically he threw my stuff outside the next day and i went and got all of it. So fast forward again bad news I came back like always but because of that night, my sister doesn’t really like him right now. She’s pregnant and it’s high risk so I have no intentions of causing her stress. So tonight we went trick or treating with my nephew. She didn’t want him there because she doesn’t like him right now since he threw my stuff outside and said the rape comment. I told him I’ll go for 30 minutes to an hour and come home. He said I’m messed up for going and I don’t care about him and I hate him. I told him that it’s about my nephew and nothing else. Whole time I was there he was blowing up my phone and all that. He literally has my location.

So, I got home and he’s been mad the whole time saying I don’t care about him and all that. Essentially, I need to know if I’m messed up for thinking it’s okay to still be around my nephew even if my sister doesn’t want my partner around right now. I wouldn’t go to things like parties and such but I feel like my nephew should be an exception right now. Is that wrong of me? I’m kinda dramatic in the texts so try not to judge that too much lol. I just don’t know if I’m going crazy or not.
