So I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 3 months, it was SO GOOD at the start. But he started calling me names ( saying it was only to make me realise I needed to stop being those things, ie.selfish, a bitch, loving myself..thinking I’m golden) this went on every time we argued over the smallest things. I felt I couldn’t tell him how things he did made me feel because he would make out I didn’t have a right to be feeling that way. I ended up isolating myself from my family because my life revolves around doing things and saying things that didn’t make him angry, for example I had to thank him for coming to see me, despite the fact I had a chronic illness and took me so much energy to go meet him. He would tell me loads of people were talking about me and saying “ people said you’d be like this”, he would say he was gonna get back with his ex who is a stripper..he would constantly say “ this is obviously your fault as I’ve never been like this with anyone else I’ve been on a relationship with”.Eventually I started being a horrible person, i would have a short fuse and go mad over the smallest things..I’d be so offended by everything. He always acted like he didn’t care about me, I would threaten to dump him over how he was and he would say ‘ok’. He would always throw objects at me..like pennies or hard plastic. We would play fight but he’d properly hurt me. Resulting in a massive bruise that’s a week old and still PAINFUL. So a week ago he threatened to hit me..so I left him..I was scared tbh. But he managed to wiggle his way back by making me feel like I brought it on myself, he told his friends he threatened me and apparently they justified it because I was ‘annoying’ him so i felt like I was being over dramatic. Eventually yesterday I cut things off completely, said some really mean things. My question out of all this is was I emotionally abused? Did I have a reason to be not nice to him? If I was to explain the situation to someone close would I be seen as crazy? Am I a physco? I just dunno what to think anymore..I’m so emotionally and physically drained. I just don’t even want to be here anymore.
