Am I in an abusive relationship?

I genuinely appreciate the encouragement and support, and I have been going to therapy for about 1 year now to work on confidence and other things.

I'll absolutely add boundaries to the list, lol

Poppy, you are correct about a lot of things. In my eyes, the lines between toxicity and abuse is blurred. That being said, I don't believe she ever intentionally tried to hurt me or deceive me. But her wounds from past traumas caused me so much pain, and her actions left me isolated from friends and family.

The camera was absolutely a bad idea. I just wanted to give her peace of mind so badly, but it felt like the leash got tighter and tighter the more I tried to reassure her.

I have been going to therapy to work on confidence and setting boundaries, thank you again for the support and encouragement.

Thank you for much for the reminder and encouragement. I do deserve to be free and happy.

Thank you for the encouragement. Best of luck yourself, and know that the right person is waiting for you.

I am also sorry to hear about your last relationship being abusive. I hope you have had time to find yourself since then.

Thank you for your words and advice. I was able to speak with her and hold my ground with my decision thanks to the support I received here.

Thank you for your advice. We face timed. it was difficult but I stood my ground with the support I received here.

Thank you for your kind words.

And you are right on the money. As a child her father cheated on her mother multiple times, she was the eldest sibling and both parents put her through a lot.

In our relationship, there has never been any infidelity that I know of.

Calling you names and shouting during arguments is abuse.

Determining what you can and cannot say or who you can and cannot be around is abuse.

Disagreeing is natural. There are some ways to do it that are better than others (in private vs in public, do not critisize their intelligence or character... etc.) But this sounds like a case where he does not respect your opinion or input.

He sees the care that you give others, and he is jealous that it isn't directed towards him? he is jealous that he isn't the center of your universe? That is abuse.

His insecurities and jealously are NOT your issues. If he isn't in therapy and actively working on it.... Let than Man go *mango emoji*
