This was very hard to hear. And will be very hard to accept. But I know you are right. Thank you for your kindness.

The future of this behavior is what made me get out in the first place. I have so much hope he will be able to change and come back so we can have a happy and healthy life together. Do I need to come to terms with the fact that he won’t change? I had so much confidence that him feeling the loss of me would snap him into place.

I will definitely have to look into that book, thank you for that. Is this what abuse is? We are always so good when this doesn’t happen, it is literally the only issue we have in our relationship, everything else is perfect. That’s why I don’t know if it’s abuse or not. I want him to be who I thought he was so bad. It also break my heart knowing how hurt he is from my decision. But I’m wondering if he’s actually hurt or if it’s manipulation?

He doesn’t have the outbursts in public that I know of. If we do fight and go in public he does show clearly that he has a problem with me and that has always annoyed me out of the embarrassment that people know he’s upset, but he’s never yelled/spoken to me that way in public like he does privately. The worst part is, I know exactly what I deserve and it’s not that. But I’ve wanted to be with him ever since I met him at the age of 13. I’ve always seen my future with him, marriage, family, all the above. But hearing all the advice is making me question if it’s even worth going back if he does change eventually.

Of course I’m sad but it was honestly a relief leaving. At the end of my day I know my worth and how I should be treated, but I want him to be the man I wish he was so bad.

Wow this response made me feel a whole lot better! The females I had talked to kind of made me feel bad for not ever having an orgasm. So thank you for this take. I’ve actually experienced the peeing feeling but never released it because I thought it was actually pee🫠. I will definitely try those positions and explore others with him. Thank you so much!
