Q: Don't Know How to Do This

Hi

i have been in a relationship for a bit more than 2 years now. He moved in with me after 3 weeks and although our relationship was hard straight from the start, there was something that made me stay with him. Here is the situation: he does not work, has no intention of working, he never goes out because he is kind of afraid of people. Well, he will never go out with me or on his own but when his brother or his ex girl friend used to come, he would follow them in the car. Anyway, I ended up paying for everything and I am putting myself into debts( small debts but still debts). He used to cuddle me a lot and was sensitive. Now it does not want me around, if I try to cuddle him he tells me to go away that he is tired. Sometimes in the morning, he will get up and not talk to me for hours. As I said, we never go out, he stays on his computer all day, we never do anything together. I am not allowed to go out in the evening or with friends at night and not on holiday with mates as he does not want to go anywhere. He is very selfish and has no real feelings for me. I tried to break up a few times but his reaction scared me. He would not let me go, will put himself in front of the door and told me I could call the police that he will not move. And after a while he calms down, tell me he loves me....

So I thought I would stay with him and see what happens but now I am pregnant and he is playing up with my mind. I wanted to have an abortion at first but he convinced me to keep it. Then he told me he will not look after this baby at all which means financially it is impossible for me. After that he told me he did not want that kid and that if I keep it he will leave me. After many thoughts I have decided to go through an abortion but he has changed his mind up now but I have not. I cannot afford to waste my whole life with someone who made me feel depress since I have met him, have lost my self confidence and made me miserable. I will get rid off this baby and would like to get rid off him but how could I manage? I feel weak and scared of him, of what he would do. He has never touched me but I know once he is angry I would not trust him at all. He lives with me in the property am renting and never goes out. Any advice on how I could manage?

Sorry for this long post,
thanks

My advice to you is leave while hes sleeping or wait until hes in the bath/shower and go and don't look back once you leave you'll know you made desision unlike me who's been trapped for 8 years.

I have tried once last year, he was in the bath and I tried to leave. But I don't know how he sensed it, he jumped from the bath and came in front of me before I could reach the door! And I can't when he is sleeping, he wakes up for nothing! Maybe I should try to talk to him again. It is weird because some days I think our relationship is not that bad, that I might exagerate things and some others I think what the hell am I doing with him? But we do not live like a couple, we are more like 2 flatmates who have sex from time to time when he feels the need to. I wish I could be strong and say that 's it I am going goodbye! But as soon as he talks(because he is a very good manipulating man!) he traps me !

Well after 8 years of telling myself its not that bad a relationship i've finaly realised its one hell of a "bad" relationship if you can't get out its bad. Try talking I belive in talking but make sure you make sure self heard and understood tell him you think that your falling out of love that usually gets them listening. Good luck what ever happens.

If you are not allowed to leave, then it is called kidnapping. Holding you against your will is illegal, never mind if you are married or not.

And no, you do have the right to then later come back for your possions, even with a police officer present if it is unsafe otherwise.

The local women's shelter helps women out with this kind of stuff every day.

The isolation and weirdness sounds like mental illness of some kind, and I would be a bit careful about comitting yourself to him unless he agrees to get help and stay on the medications he is prescribed.

I have been thru relationships like this before, then they did not have places to go like they do now. If you work or if you do not, get a police to stand by while you get your stuff out. If your stuff is not that important to you, just dial 911, when the police get their, explain the situation to them and get the heck out by either going to your parents or a woman's shelter. Just get the heck out, do not give into him or feel sorry for him, get a restraining order, get the abortion and do not allow people to put you down for this as you are doing the right thing by getting an abortion but get the abortion as soon as you can, then you can start having a better life for yourself.
Sincerely,
sandy

If You Work
If you work leave and never come home, you say he dont leave the house so he will just stay there, leave the apartment contact the landlord and tell them the situation, alot of them will work with you and you will be free. Dont put up with that lazy azz. You deserve better and so does your baby. Get out before you have that baby. You need to make sure you and baby are safe and dont need to be stressing over him, he is not worth it.

Good idea babycat.

Take the oppurtunity to leave when you go to work. Whether you leave at lunchtime from work or whatever. If your work has a prob, let them know. Any woman would understand.
