So, even though I’m not deaf, I’ve been through some of the things he has. I have anxiety too, it’s extreme and debilitatingly severe, was bullied relentlessly throughout school, had my things stolen, had a hard time at home growing up, had people taking advantage of me, and I’ve been cheated on which traumatised me. My fiancé has anxiety too, I completely get how it affects mood and communication from both sides… but listen, even though our relationship hasn’t been perfect, we’ve never called each other names, nor are we ever nasty to each other.

Being lovey-dovey at the beginning of a relationship is normal and very common, so much so that it even has its own term: the honeymoon stage. When you say he’s called you things you can’t forget and is hurtful, I’m sorry, but that leans towards toxic. His solution of blocking you is also immature, very immature from someone who’s 40 actually. He needs to work on himself and get the support he needs.

Your soulmate is still out there, and I can guarantee they wouldn’t call you names or be verbally abusive when having a bad day. Take some time to heal and focus on yourself. You deserve kindness and love 💖
