 my GF would never break up with me, or tell me she didn't love me. Just her whole attitude would change to being very cold and distant. That I could somewhat handle, but then she would start obsessing over other random new "male friends" , ram them down my throat and expect me to just roll with it. She would back me into a corner so bad, I would have no chice but to break up with her each time. Then she would come back sobbing and telling me how much she loved me.

 Well, that doesn't sound pleasant at all, but at least it isn't to the extreme of what I've been dealing with. Not that your situation isn't extremely painful. Just know that it's not your fault, and I commend you for caring enough about this person to hang in there. I know how hard it can be.

 My bf will tell me that I don't "do anything useful, I need to find a new place to live...etc... (even though I work more than he does). And he will say that the only reason we aren't getting along is "the way I talk to him". Well, I talk to him like he is acting really strange & that is what sets him off.

 foresstar, mine has no addiction. I could not really put up with that. I don't think liking porn is an addiction, but he does not have that either. Sometimes he likes to get me jealous, but he rarely does.

 Yeah. I can't put up with it myself. But he does have an addiction to anything and everything. He doesn't have any self control. I have no choice right now than to "put up with it". So it's hard.

One time he took me on a great vacation to Jamaica where he poured his heart out to me, and showed the emotions I had been longing to see for so long, and treated me like a princess, and we had a committment ceremony (where he was so touched he cried) with me on the beach.... Five days after we returned home I found some old text messages on his phone and discovered that he had cheated on me with two women from a topless bar right before we went on our trip. He had had sex with two women (at one time) for a week straight. I was so depressed and upset that I kept throwing up. I was devastated. He even went to counseling with me after this but it didn't help.

 does he continue to cheat on you.. I believe mine can love more than me. I just think that is how he is wired.

 Don't really know. But I do think that he is not "wired" to be happy and content with one person for very long. He gets sick of me after any length of time & totally ignores me or takes me for granted. Then he turns to porn or possibly cheating. It has nothing to do with my behaviour. It just happens.

 I stay because I have no money saved, no family, and not a single friend. I moved to a small city to be with this man, and I know noone here. I have had to quit and find jobs over and over due to being thrown out by him, and it has wrecked my resume. I was very much in love with him when I moved in. Now I love him, but I am in prison with this bipolar man. Didn't mean to offend you with the "wired" comment, but he seriously is not wired to be happy with one person for very long. I feel like the ugliest person in the world anytime he is having a low spell. He ignores me, sleeps on the couch, etc..,and acts like nothing is wrong at the same time. If I try to talk about things he gets very angry and tells me I am trying to "start a fight."
