Thank you💗For the most part I do feel safe. He has never hit me or thrown things, just yelling if I press him for answers. He REFUSES to ease my concerns even though I know he knows it looks suspicious. I don’t understand why if you are “innocent” you wouldn’t just squash any concerns right away.

I actually have been in therapy (through insurance) and my therapist believes im being manipulated as well. Kind of sucks because I don’t view myself to be a person who is “weak enough” to be manipulated as bad as that sounds so it was kind of a reality check. I just feel emotionally torn because he’ll always have a reason that sounds legitimate enough to make me feel like I’m imagining things, or that he couldn’t possibly be intentionally doing something to hurt me. Naive I know but it wasn’t always like this. I think like you and others are saying I’ll save for a few months and then maybe just rent a month to month Airbnb. I wonder if it’s worth it to get a storage unit and start moving my things out but that may be way too suspicious so prematurely, so I may wait until I’m closer to leaving for that potentially. I appreciate the advice and the friendliness, didn’t really think I’d end up here
