hello, im new to this site and just wanted to see if anyone can help me because i dont know exactly whats going on with me. im always crying and depressed. i dont want to see a doctor cause it doesnt help and i feel like they just want my money. i have been with this guy for 3 years and at the moment we are on a break but i feel like we are not and i am not sure what exactly is going on with our realtionship. im not sure if it is emotional abuse or if i am just crazy. for 3 years he has hurt me not physically but just emotionally, he has made me have a low self esteem, and that im not good enough. he would act diferently when we are around his friends and doesnt introduce me. he says that his friends do not need to know me because he doesnt introduce people that he cares very much. he doesnt like to do things with my in public n he said that he would rather stay home, but like he goes out with his friends. when i say something that bothers me i communicate with him openly but he gets upset. i feel like he is always right and that im always wrong. i stopped saying things that bothers me, because i feel like its my fault, yet he gets upset that i didnt say anything. so i dont even know exactly how i have to communicate with him. he wants me to say things thats on my mind and thats what i do but he gets upset of the things that i do. like what else does he want me to do. he says that he cares for me alot and loves me very much but he doesnt show it. i find myself crying all the time now, and you can say jealous of his friends because he treats them better than he treats me. all i want is for him to take actions of the things that he says. and i try to get over him, but once i am ok without him he comes back and pulls me right back. it hurts cause i am a good gf to him, always been there for him, and always going out of my way. i just want him to realize what he is doing. because his friends or people see him as this perfect guy who treat everyone great.

Welcome! There are many nice people to chat with here. You sound like you are really struggling and fortunately for you, we've all been there and understand completely. You can look up more information about me on the leader page and through past messages, but this is my own personal advice, you have to do what is best for you. I would now knowing what I know from my past experiences, I would leave this man immediately and never speak to or see him again. Avoid him, don't answer the phone, tell him to not call or come by, don't answer the door. Let your family, friends, neighbors (if in an apt) know that you don't want this man around. You have to cut the ties and he won't like it but this is what's best for you, not him. It's time to get selfish and protective of YOU! Please tell me there are no children involved. Don't date anyone else either. You need some time on your own, growing, healing, learning, etc. Read self help books, go to growth classes, try a new therapy that I have found has helped me tremendously called EMDR, you can google it and find out if someone in your area offers it. Traditional therapy/counseling didn't work for me, it only made me feel worse. I have really benefitted from EMDR. Again, just a suggestion. Do you workout or belong to a gym? Get involved in other activities and most importantly take care of yourself. Will keep you in my prayers. Jen

thank you so much for understanding...there is no children involved..thank goodness..not that i do not like children i love children just need to be with the right person...i try to keep myself busy by working out, playing basketball, going to school, but nothing seem to work, i mean it does but just short term...and i want a long term effect....with my age many people get scared to share their emotions with others because people tend to judge..thats why i keep alot of things inside me, in which i suffer deeply...i just want to understand me (crying)..thank you so much for your words..i really appreciate it!

I completely agree with Jen. Your story sounds much like mine, and just like Jen, if I knew then what I know now, I would leave in a heartbeat. He will always have a reason for you to come back to him. It's how they work--they offer a glimmer of hope knowing that you'll snatch it up without question. My ex-husband did this to me for years, making me feel like all of our problems were my own fault. It was only when I cut him out of my life completely that I was finally able to let him go.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

xoxo
