[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]deep down I'm afraid one day, he'll go back to his old way
it almost felt like it was "too good to be true."  Then it started going down hill
red flags which started with him getting jealous
I always made excuses
good at manipulating me
I let the signs go
He would get nitpicky about every thing I did
I was walking on eggshells every day and was scared of saying something that would rub him the wrong way
I 'd second guess myself even for the most minor of things
It really took a toll on my self-esteem
I felt confused, felt like I was going crazy
he would say I was crazy/too sensitive/don't have a backbone...
it got physical - he pushed me off the bed
He was just mean to ME
I really don't know why I stayed with him, or even why I'm giving him a second chance
I told him he needed help.  He denied it, even blamed me for it.  He broke up with me
He occasionally has his "tantrums" or mutter something insensitive

Take your own words--and your own concerns--very seriously. I'd never recommend sticking with someone like this.

I've been with my husband 20 years, and I can say that I couldn't imagine getting over that kind of abuse and then going on to lead a happy and loving life together. No matter how high the potential that two people might have had for a wonderful relationship, I believe that abuse destroys it.

Good luck moving on with life and finding someone who can love you without hurting you. You deserve better.[/quote]
