Pls help me weigh the pros and cons
I’m debating on leaving my boyfriend who I’ve been living with for 3 years. I’m still wondering if leaving him would be a mistake. So I’ve been trying to weigh the pros and cons about him, can you help me decide if he’s worth it or not?
Pros:
1. Loves the many flaws about my body that I cannot love myself and am afraid no one else will, or at least as genuinely as he does.
2. Still thinks my face is beautiful when I first wake up and look like a crack head (I’m barely exaggerating), I feel very ugly but he makes me feel beautiful.
3. Takes me out on dates a lot even with his busy schedule.
4. He’s comfortable being his weird self around me and same for me. We’re very comfortable with each other.
5. Tells me everything is ok and not to worry when something bad happens to me even if it’s my fault and lessens my anxiety.
6. Has never cheated and does not want to cheat; I can trust him.
7. Doesn’t party, doesn’t drink, doesn’t text girls or have social media, is work driven, just wants to settle down with me and have a future with me.
8. Has introduced me to his family, I know them very well now, and he is proud to show me off.
9. Does not yell during arguments.
10. Is supportive of my goals and dreams.
11. Isn’t controlling about where I go or when I go, ever.
Cons:
1. Consistently gives big amounts of his money to his family members without telling me. Is not as good on money as he should be because of this. He is not in the position to be doing this.
2. Doesn’t sext me, doesn’t ever make me feel sexy, doesn’t turn me on anymore.
3. Got jealous and mean when I got a nice car.
4. Once smashed/broke my phone and only paid me half of the money for it when he only had an assumption that I was doing something wrong; I wasn’t.
5. Makes excuses to not see my family even though they get along very well; hasn’t seen them in over half a year.
6. Didn’t get me anything for any holiday last year and did not say why other than “fuck holidays.”
7. Annoys me on a daily basis; messes with me, bites me, grabs on me, kisses me hard on my body making obnoxious sounds, and won’t stop when I tell him to stop unless I end up yelling- he says that’s how he plays with me and shows me love and I shouldn’t get upset.
8. Calls me trash or embarrassing when I raise my voice during arguments.
9. Is not always reliable.
10. Is a little too weird sometimes, embarrasses me in public sometimes, too much pda.
11. Swore and called me names in front of his mom more than once.
I hate this... I don’t know if I have something really good and special that I would regret leaving... or something that I need to leave... he gets very defensive when I talk to him about the cons and when he does try to change it doesn’t last long. It’s just who he is.
