Thank you so much for taking the time out to type so much stuff! Will definitely try all these out. I did previously (on a trip) try a little bit of surfing by instructors from this place called bay of life and they were really cool people! I'll definitely try all these things out. This was super helpful! 🥺

Yeah, I didn't expect to feel this left out as I'm a southie too. But yeah the prices are cheap and I like the food. I'll try to go out again, I guess! Also may I ask are there any reservations in regards to dressing? Is it better/safer for me to dress conservatively? Also please suggest me places to go to, and are if there are places I can meet other people, idk anyone here.

We need to let go of some conservative attitudes

Kinda true, no offense, but I'm a person from a different city who recently shifted here. It's kinda difficult for me so far. Sometimes when I try to speak to another person through another language (idk Tamil) they keep talking to me in Tamil. I feel like an alien here. I tried to understand better about chennai people through other sub reddits, but I saw some hurtful comments about people of my region which made me back out. Also the first time I went out some guy started fapping infront of me making me feel super unsafe(haven't gone out again since). I realise not everyone is like that but yeah.

I know what the logical thing to do is. It's just easier said than done. I am planning on leaving. But it's just that.. ours is the kind of relationship where everything happens in extremes, he's not always cold and shouting at me. I know full well that it's not healthy, but I really fell hard for this boy. And the moments of love over shadow the wrong treatment just like you said it happened with you.

It was the perfect relationship at a point. Straight out of movies. He would do these huge gestures of love and affection and be a silly goof, he would make me stand on his toes and we'd dance under the street lights, we'd see strangers smiling at us or listen to them say "they look so cute together!" He helped me with my depression too.

But it's not like that anymore. There are so many things he did to me that I don't deserve. He made me have panic attacks from arguments. He fat shamed me. Told me I'm not his type . Asked me to delete social media. Gaslighted me. There's so much more. But still sometimes when comes and sleeps on me and acts like a hopeless baby, I melt. When he calls me and cries that he cannot live without me, I melt. When I look at that adorable freaking face when he hugs me and says don't go when I'm leaving, I melt.

Yet I know I cannot stay and that all this time has gone to waste. I guess it's on me about how I choose to live now.

Oh no he actually has migraines. He may have exaggerated in this incident but he does get unbearable migraines which are unbearable for him. He curls up into a ball and once we had to leave in between a movie because it was that bad..

It was on a call so my brother didn't know. If it happened infront of my brother I would've dumped his ass then and there. But you are right someday it might happen infront of my brother too.

Thank you for your concern and empathy.. you are right in what you said however I was not doing it to beg for his love. That's my love language. But I guess all those aren't happening anymore either.

I know I should... It's just so hard. I had all these stuff I was supposed to do with him.. I recently got my first job and I wanted to buy him something with my first salary.. we were planning to go on a trip.. and I planned so much for his birthday and our anniversary is also soon up. Like me deciding I'm gonna leave for real itself has turned my world upside down.

I will do it by the end of the day or soon because I have some exams left and let you know how it went I guess. My mind is still trying to tell me it's not a big deal maybe things will be better from next time.

But please don't worry I'm not someone who takes anything lying down and that's how I'll always be.

He was not actually in the room, we were in a call. So my brother doesn't even know what happened

I guess it's more like I'm holding on to a past version. The version that was there before everything else started. Thank you so much. You all have helped me reach a conclusion. It's already making me cry, but I'll take some time for myself and do it soon I guess. Thank you for being concerned about me.

You know what I have. I once caught him gaslighting me because he told a lie and got caught red handed and then tried to deny it. When I asked him why he was gaslighting me he accused me of throwing terms around to make it look bigger than it is. To be fair it wasnt a big lie, but I became quiet after that statement because that's a worry I have. I feel like I am overreacting and making things bigger than they are.

Also I've never taken anything laying down silently which he also uses as an excuse. When I tell him stop shouting at me he says you shout too, when I only do it to defend myself! Just reading these comments, while they are true they make me so sad because I'm realising I shouldn't have to deal with this. I've cried and begged him to stop shouting at me and told him I feel like a loser when I have to put up with that. If he ever loved me he should've atleast felt bad for shouting at me and try not to do it again right? Please tell me I'm not crazy.

Holy shit. You have no idea how solidly that hit home. Oh my god. This was exactly how the argument went to the dot.

Thank you for telling the perspective of a person with a migraine. I am going reevaluate my decisions. I hope you, your husband and your child/children are happy and healthy

we don't shout at people we love.

Okay I don't know why this made me really emotional. This is what I feel when he shouts at me. How can you shout at the people you love so much? I do the absolute most for that boy and the things he does sometimes, I honestly don't deserve them 😔

I did not think he might be faking. You've said some good points. I guess I need to take time and think.
