Yes unfortunately and my therapist was right and then when I left my life got so much better and I’m finally happy and he was draining the life out of me. Adults don’t get to ban other adults from doing stuff. Please dump him to make room for your future spouse who will love and respect you (if you want a spouse). Also I went to www.loveisrespect.org and took the relationship health quiz and realized I needed to GTFO

i spoke about never having met any of his friends (always an excuse, i’m pretty oblivious), that he doesn’t like when i speak to mine about him, he doesn’t allow me to post on social media (if i do, it’s an argument), he speaks down on the things i enjoy (i interpreted this as a joke), and he drinks very often. i just broke up with him over the phone

she said that him not allowing me to talk to my friends about him, and never having met his, was isolating. she said the social media management was controlling. i had no idea. i stopped speaking about him to my best friend & my mom (at his request) about 4-5 months ago

I’m sorry you’re going though this right now but I just want to say I’m so proud of you for looking out for your safety and well-being ❤️‍🩹 It is NOT easy to end things or see your partner in this light

So great now that km gone. I only have to interact with her a couple more times before i leave but it seems like she is not gonna pay me back for her share of rent for half the month or utilities as a last ditch attempt to have power over me :(

hey, you got away!! i know the economy is fucking ass, but so is the price of happiness sometimes. if eating the bill is what it takes, do it, and never speak to her about it. protect yourself, and if you have a support system, please use it. my dms are open if you need an ear
