Is this abuse?

Question

I dated this guy for over 3 years and some stuff has happened and he broke up with me and then he wanted to work on things but we weren't together officially and that's when he started changing he would come over and instead of saying hi he would grab my phone go into the bathroom and lock the door and go through everything, he made me take pictures of who I was with, he accused me of sleeping with different guys even though he knew he was the only one I have ever been with, if I didn't respond fast enough he got suspicious and then he finally said he didn't want to see me at all because I was at a friends house that he didn't like and then he said I need therapy because I'm nuts. I haven't talked to him since but I miss him like crazy and I still have feelings for him after all he was my first boyfriend and my first for everything and I just don't know if I'll ever find anyone again or if I'm better off without him. I could use some advice.

Answer

It absolutely is. I work in a women's refuge & Yep. You should run like hell. As far away from this person as possible. On average (in the UK) it takes a woman 37 incidents before she leaves. An average of 7 years before she finally gets the courage to walk away. In the US it's higher. I would delete his number, never let him in, get a restraining order and change your phone number. Do not get stuck in the cycle. Good luck xx

Answer

Run.like.hell. Don't look back.

Answer

Yes 100% emotional abuse. Manipulative, controlling and possessive.

Noone but you can make you stay away from him. I think going back to him would be a MONUMENTAL mistake. Emotionally/verbally abusive relationships are more likely to turn physical as well. Do you really want that?

Answer

Stay away. You're wayyyy better off without him and you'll find someone else and chances are they'll show you how you should actually be treated

Answer

My ex was like this and it eventually led to physical abuse. He would *always* say it was my fault that he had to be suspicious, even if I didn't do anything wrong, which I didn't. In fact, HE was caught numerous times chatting with girls online and texting them :/ 
As hard as it is to walk away, I would. There's a better man out there for you.

Answer

He's sounds really possessive and manipulative to me sweetheart. I think you'd do well to let him go, guys who act like that don't get any better with time, they tend to get worse. And to be honest, yes, the way he's acting now is on a path to being abusive. You'll find someone else, I promise.

Answer

Emotional abuse if I were you I'd leave him cause it'll only get worse and if you're not depressed you will be soon dealing with his ass. Leave and don't look back

Answer

That is total bull crap - let him leave. He's a stalker and borderline abusive. If you stay I wouldn't be surprised if things turn physical.

Answer

He has issues and I think you should move on. It's hard because you shared so much with him but that is psycho stalker actions not cool.

Answer

You're better off without him. Guys like that start by controlling you and eventually physically abuse their SO.

You NEED to take time, find someone new and experience a healthy relationship to realize how awful he really was
