Q: Is my boyfriend abusive?

Me and my boyfriend recently celebrated our one year anniversary. In the beginning of the relationship, everything was great and I really thought he was the one but the past couple months have been a nightmare. He is extremely jealous and has major trust issues. His last girlfriend cheated on him so I try to remain patient and understanding but it's beginning to take a toll on me. He's constantly calling to check up on me and is jealous of all my guy friends. He hates when I go out with my girlfriends and he has to know where I'm going, who I'm going out with, what time I'll be leaving, etc... He flips out over the littlest things. If I miss a phone call I get interegated. He needs to know what I was doing and why I didn't answer his phone call. Recently he's started to become verbally abusive. He's called me a b**ch and a ho and whenever he's upset he tries to make me feel guilty. I'm not happy anymore and I feel like I can't live my life. I constantly feel like I'm being controlled by him. I've told him all of this and I've tried to break up with him several times but he always makes me feel guilty and says he'll change. He even told me he'd kill himself if I left him. The last time i tried to break up with him, he started throwing things and kicked my floor fan at me. It hit me in the ankle and now I have a bruise. When the fan hit me, I started crying and all he could say was, "Oh stop being the victim and stop acting like I just beat you!" He comes from a rough upbringing and his step-dad used to beat his mom. He swears he would never lay a hand on me but I think that's what it's leading too. He also checks my phone calls and my text messages and made a fake facebook profile to spy on me. I don't know what to do anymore. Is he really abusive or am i overreacting?? How do I break up with him for good??

well, you DEFINITELY need to get away from him. You are not over reacting... I kinda went through all that crap.. but to make him understand At first I made him understand his problems.. we went counseling.. then.. I went with him while he went and spoke to his doctor, he then went and saw a psychologist, I went with him a few times to get my bit out... and he hasn't missed a session.

Its gotten easier, there has been some hard times, but we are able to deal with them, if not we bring it up in the session.

We have a 2 year old, if it wasn't for her, I think we would of gone our separate ways.

Best of luck to you, in what ever you decide..

I think that you need to stop acting dull and leave his ass. That's wrong you don't deserve to be treated that way even though I don't know you it makes me upset. I kinda went through the same thing in one of my prior relationships. I got out. You can do it, if your not married you don't need to let the relationship and a dude take a toll on you like that to the point where you feel you can't be happy anymore. He should treat you with the upmost respect especially because your a woman. It's your choice do what you feel is best. Like I always say if you think that the relationship is getting out of line cut the line and move on in life. Even though it can be hard sometimes it takes a stronger person to do something they have not ever imagined.

run girl, dont walk!
crap, I went back to an abusive boyfriend, even after he somehow obtained my passwords to my email and myspace accounts.The first time we dated for 8-9 months. He was controlling, jealous, manipulative, and hated anyone who took up my time. He wanted access to my phone bill!!
This time around, in less than 4months, we argued, he wrestled with me and left me bruised. He went into my cellphone and changed one of friends numbers. I didnt realize it until i text them to tell them he had left me at the fair. Oh he came back for me but I think only because I had his phone. He kicked me out of his house that very night and called me a prostitute and other things. Of course the next day, He blew up my cell phone with texts and left me a voicemail saying how he wanted more out of a relationship, a family but that I didnt. This time was worse than the first go round. My 2 girlfriends did an intervention with me. They made me cry but also made me realize how unstable he is. I wont return to him but I'm afraid of him. The first time we broke up, I'd be in my house with all the lights off. I was constantly looking over my shoulder. Now I'm afraid he'll try to make trouble for me again so I'm trying to play nice with him. My friends say that will only work until he realizes I'm not coming back.....
