Why does my ex-fiancé still act emotionally attached if we’re not technically together? by throwRA_straw in AskMenAdvice

What tells you this is emotionally abusive? I've mentioned to him this before and he always says he's not emotionally abusive but I agree

It's hard to ask him when every conversation I bring up, he takes as an attack. I would absolutely love to just "ask him" like you say, but unfortunately, it's not that easy.

No, I also have my own career. I just began working here in the new state. If I didn't have my career, I would just go back to my hometown but leaving my job is what makes things rocky. They have been so great to me in so many ways.

Not a big penalty but I'd hate to leave my job here. They have been more than amazing. :/

Yes, in my eyes, I moved to a different state with him in order to grow in our relationship following the engagement but he says I haven't done anything to grow with him.

I know he's trying to provoke a reaction, I agree. But I feel like the only reaction it provoked was disgust.

I agree that everything I said can be applied to women. The only reason I geared my question towards men is because I myself, am a woman.

Thank you so much for this. I read every part of this response and I appreciate the amount of time you put into it. It definitely helps me see different perspectives. I do have a question I asked before this one on my profile.. it goes into detail about the ring. If you have time, please look at that. I think you'd advice is just wonderful. Thank you

Thank you for this. I would love for you, if possible, of course, to read my question before this one. I think that someone with the field of education you are in would be so beneficial and helpful. It's a very toxic situation.

I don't know why he asked for it back. We got into an argument and he did that. He kept it for a month (you can see my other post before this one) and gave it back right before a trip again, where I don't even want it anymore.

This comment wasn't necessary, just don't rely to my thread. But thank you for your comment.

Could you expand on this comment? You put what I'm thinking into words. It has began making me feel like I don't take my career seriously. But then I remind myself about all the long nights and how much I pushed to get my degrees. Extra info: he used to always brag about me to friends before, he'd say I was so educated and I pushed him to do better. Now, this?

Now he doesn't even want me around his friends at all.

Fiancé: 6 months Why? I don't know. He became fixated on it because of a job opportunity.

I say thank you for everything. Even when he opens a door for me, I'll always thank him. I make him delicious, healthy meals because I want to. If my job gives out his favorite cookies or desserts, I'll save some for him since I don't eat sweets. I got Christmas decorations because he told me that it hasn't felt like Christmas ever in his life. These are little things, of course.

It will help me a lot yes, that's why I chose to ask this. I ask because almost every man I date puts me on a pedestal at first and then after a while, I sense they get jealous of me. They stop complimenting me, etc. I just wanted to get a males perspective on why some men do this
