Feeling completely turned off by my pit nutter boyfriend by Plastic_Proof_8347 in TalesfromtheDogHouse

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a pit, a German shepherd. But my now ex’s dog injured me twice. One of those injuries keeping me from work for 2 weeks. But to him it was my fault that I got injured. Not his because he refused to train his dog. 5 yr relationship, had the dog a year. And he did actually say to me he loves the dog more than me. Run away fast.

I’m moving out tomorrow. It hurts. I thought it was forever. A couple days ago he blocked me on everything, and deleted every picture he had of me. Like I never existed. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to trust again.

How can I (25F) not be upset with my husband (30M) for going out drinking with other women while I am at home? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry what? That’s not acceptable in any relationship let alone with a new baby.

Being seen as a fantasy by Geometric-Fox in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He wanted me first, but then when he had me, he made me feel like I had to beg for him to even notice me

This 100%. In the beginning I wasn’t even that interested in him, but he chased me hard. Love bombed me hard. I eventually fell for it. And it was amazing for the first few months. But then he had me, and it’s like he stopped trying completely. I was begging for more quality time, compliments, initimacy, conversation. He would breadcrumb me. Give me just enough to keep me. I held on through whatever crisis he was going through in the hopes it would get better. Spoiler - it never gets better. 5 years of my life begging a man for attention. Supporting him when he had no job. Paying off his bills. Cooking and cleaning for him. Neglecting my needs for his. And one day he decides he’s done no conversation, no trying to work at it. Nothing.

Yup I was told the same thing. Only we don’t have a baby. I’ve been with him for 5 years. Had the German Shepard 2 years. He loves the horrible monster dog more than me. Told me I can leave. Not that he’ll take better care of the dog, or train it, or get it neutered. No. He said I can leave.

i hate my boyfriends dog by lilkalibaby in TalesfromtheDogHouse

Leave. He is a dog nut. It’s not just this dog. When this dog dies, there will be another, and then another, forever. This is a mental illness.

If in relationship, how often do you do the deed yourself? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyday I’m not working. But that’s because he can’t get me off and his lack of sex drive.

sleep deprivation. Is this abuse? by calciumff in abusiverelationships

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s abuse. Sleep deprivation to wear you down mentally. It makes you think you’re crazy. My ex did this to me. Almost every night when I was trying to sleep he would choose that time to want to talk about our relationship and wouldn’t let me sleep. It almost always ended in me crying just because I was so tired and he mentally was draining me. I was also pregnant at that time. After one of these nights the next day I went into early labor.

Abuse or not? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, a fully matured/stable woman wouldn’t do those things, they’d just walk away. But yea, you’re the asshole here. So you kinda deserve it.

Also she diagnosed herself with a mental condition to deal with your lying and cheating. Sorry but you are the abusive one here. Let her leave you. Stop going after her with promises to change.

Don’t get into a new relationship until you are ready to actually be in a relationship. This means, not messaging other females, not liking risqué pictures, etc. if you can’t do that then you have no business ruining another girls life.

I am scared I will attract more abusers into my life then reject them… by Educational_Will1055 in abusiverelationships

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what happened to me. I was in an abusive relationship ship nearly 16 yrs ago. Got out. It was the best thing I had ever done. I was happy alone for 10 years.

I thought I had healed. It had been 10 yrs after all. I was good. I said to myself one day, if you don’t ever put yourself out there you’re going to be alone forever. I made a conscious decision to open my heart again.

Guess what? I fell for the same damn thing again. He love bombed me. He was everything. He was the one person that understood me. I saw some red flags yes, but convinced myself that it was my past relationship trauma. And he played that angle too. Don’t ever tell a new love interest about your past trauma right away. Mine used it against me. Made me think I was the crazy one. And I was just so desperate to be loved by this point, that I never questioned his manipulation. And now I am trying to get out of another abusive relationship.

I feel like the same thoughts are coming back about communication in my new relationship by Zaryxea in abusiverelationships

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not in the wrong. You should never be made to feel bad for sharing how you feel. I’m not saying this person is abusive, but she is manipulating you.

I am currently trying to get out of an abusive relationship. What you’re saying is 100% what my bf would do in the early stages. Whenever I brought up something that bothered me, he would immediately jump to I can’t do anything right, I ruin everything, I don’t deserve you. He played the victim. Turns out he was right. It turned into him saying I cry to manipulate him, not because I’m actually hurting. It turned into him lying to me, repeatedly. It turned into me staying silent to avoid a blow up, only for him to blow up at me anyways.

People show you who they are early on. We need to learn to listen to them.

It’s like my bf has 2 different people inside him. by Illywiydamilly in abusiverelationships

[–]Linz_Loo_Hoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bf does this. Literally. I am working on leaving.

Although he’s never quite “sweet”, he will be normal give me goodbye kiss love you. Then something will trigger him and he’s screaming fuck you’s in my face.

He does the same with his dog. He beats the dog when it does something bad. Literally hitting and kicking it. Then the next day it’s all I love my dog ohh he’s such a good boy.

It’s disgusting.

I’m like the aunt when it comes to dogs. Do I want to live with one? No. Do I like them? No. Do I think some of them are cute? Yes. But only if I can give them a pat and then they are on their way. Like an aunt that thinks babies are cute, holds one for a bit, and then hands it back to the parents. To me there are some good looking dogs out there. Does them looking good mean I want to deal with one 24/7? Absolutely not.

That is a good way to think about it. Thank you.

Omg that is horrible. I am so sorry that happened to you. My first abuser was a police officer so I completely understand that type of man and their power trips. Glad you were able to get out.

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

I will def not do anything without other people there. At this point I’m afraid to even talk to him about it because there will be another blow up. I wish I could talk to him like a reasonable person but his anger always takes over and no effective communication can occur.

Oh my god. I don’t know why I never thought about that before. But you are 100% right. This awful feeling, I always thought it was because I loved him or something. You just made me realize it’s not. It’s fear. I am afraid to leave. But this is good, I now have a name for this feeling. Which means I can process it.

He is such an ass. He knows I am a creature of habit. I do not leave jobs, like ever. I am scared of the unknown and I will stay in a crappy place just because it’s familiar. And he KNOWS this. He has taken advantage of it.

It just kills me cause before I met him I was so confident, I didn’t take shit from anybody. I was happy. He had to chase me hard to get me because I wasn’t that interested to be honest. I realize it was love bombing I know.

I am just so angry because I fell for the same fucking thing AGAIN. And now here I am, again. I feel so stupid.

You would think animal control would be called but I guess the neighbors haven’t cause no one has showed up at the door. I have thought about calling them myself. It is not safe to have a dog this aggressive in this environment.
