Q: I Am Going to Lose My Mind!!!
asked by: RedDelight on October 6th, 2006

Hello to all Smile

where to start? I met this guy, 3 months ago. The first month of dating was like a dream! Then we were both stupid, and decided to get an apartment together. Since we've moved in, all we do is fight. We pick at each other, stupid things, and he is constantly bringing up my past history [i dated a guy that was verbally & sometimes physically abusive.] I have to keep in contact [only over the phone he is 5 states away,] because he owes me on a loan I got for him.

He is jealous over that. I can understand why. But.. I'm with him.. Not my ex. The new guy consently calls me, tells me he loves me... We've just got through our third month... He doesn't know me! He was saying he loved me from start!! Recently..He's gotten alittle more violent. Not physically...But I am starting to worry that it's about to come to that point. He rushed me, twice.. Like a football player..And always stops 2 inches from my face. Telling me to have sex off...And it's over. Etc. Except he won't leave. I'm just as guilty...I forgive him..And he comes back. He tries to force me to be envolved with his family..And he's told his aunt everything we argue about..And things he hates about me..Yet he won't go. I need to end this now.. I am consistently getting stomaches..And headaches from all this stress... It's deprieving me of sleep..And eating.

Another thing I thought was strange..He likes to put his hands around my neck, as if to choke me- while we have sex. Very rarely can it just be normal.. Romantic. It's always rough and "choking". That scares me. I am afraid to mention anything about that.. Because it reminds me of the movie "ted bundy." I do not have hardly any friends for support..Except my family and my sister. My family lives real close to me..But I don't want them getting hurt/involved. They are quiet aware that we fight all the time..And i've told them what he's done..[rushing, verbal abuse, throwing a pair of jeans at me.] but...The only way I will feel safe..Is if he moves out. I am willing to take a huge hit financially to afford the place.. But I don't think he's going to be that easy to live with if he doesn't sign the place over to me.

I didn't know he was this obsessive..And agressive...Or I would have stayed living at home. How do I tell him I want him to leave..I've told him before that I wanted to go.. But he told me- the only way that would happen..Is if I left him all my belongings [i practically furnished the apartment.] i'm praying our neighbors evict us from all the screaming he does..But no one has yet.

Any suggestions help I would appericated it!!

Miss depressed.

Girl,i'm with you.I hung out with my x for about a month before we got together.After 2 months we moved in together.It was sooo great just like you said but then he started to get jealous and mean sometimes.He would get drunk once a month and get really mad.He pushed me a coupke of time and even jumped on top of me once.I never thought it would come to us physically fighting.9 months late (3 weeks ago) he got drunk and was doing things I asked him not to do at our neighbors apartment.I was talking to our neighbor about it when he decided I was done talking and tried to drag me home by my wrists.It turned physical. He ended up with nothing although I punched him several times to get away btu I ended up with alm,ost getting pushed down the stairs twice,getting kicked in the back,and getting a massive bruise on my left leg. Hun I never thought this would happen.I loved/still love him but I didn't deserve that and he admitted it.Get away! Having an apartment together is not worth getting abused (mentally or physically) and its not worth losing your life over if it comes down to it.Trust me,get out!!! Pm me if you want to talk! Good luck!

Please do not put up with it! If it is his place, get out, if it is your furniture and you have the receipts then ask for a police to stand-by while you get your stuff out and have someone to help you lift it, if you do not have the receipts and have know way of proving it is your furniture then kiss it goodbye, wait until he leaves for work and still have a cop to stand-by in case he returns, take what you need and get out with your life, you can start now by taking the sentimenal small things out now and stashing them, I too have been abused and have had to start over and have left with the clothes on my back and no shoes, otherwise, he would have probably killed me. You can always start over but you cannot start your life over. We are here for you! I am now with a man that treats me good.

Thank you to both of your support. Smile I truely need someone to at least listen to me!

I really don't want it to turn physical... I am so so sorry that happened to you!

I am going to try to tell him tonight. Both of my parents are home tonight too..And is on stand by if he attempts something. I've even talked to our leasing agent...Who was also rushed by him, him screaming at her for not fixing our repairs..Demanding it gets completed or he would get her fired. She called me to tell me what he did....He has no idea I know this. I asked if she would be willing to come with me and get a restraining order..And if that would kick him out of the place. She told me that was more of a legal thing..And she did not want to be involved.

I know, if it comes down to it, to just leave. I've tried so many times to break it off with him..And he just doesn't get it.

He won't let me go Sad. He's preventing me from my life goals, and dreams..And now swang the opposite way last night..Decided to be mr.Right and talk to me without screaming..But he made a comment that frightened me.. "whenever you are around me, I can't stand you. You could be sitting there, minding your own business, or eating, taking a shower..You just make me irratable being around me." that makes me question if he would do something..? Did either of you have to get a restraining order against an ex? Does it work?

I think i'm scared more so..That my family lives literally down the street. He knows where they live, the layout of the house..Their schedules..If he wanted to harm me, that would be the spot. I wish I never met this guy- ever! He's ruining my spirit..And my life. Bad enough I have the ex to keep in contact with too. He likes to call me at odd times in the night to ask me advice on the girl he cheated on me with. That only makes it worse for me..And since my parents are older.. I have to keep my phone on in case of an emergency.

I wish someone could tell me how to straighten all of this giant mess out! I just want my life back. I just want sanity!

Can't you move back in with your parents or move to a new place and not tell him where it is.Make plans alone,while your at work or something. If you can see him doing something like that,hitting you or anything,chances are he will.I was told several time by my x that he would never hit me and in the back of my mind I never believed it. . Well I was right and it did happen.Don't stay long enough for him to hhurt you further cause it will happen.That comment he made was not good and that freaks me out just hearing you say it.Pllleeeaaaasssseeee get out.No I did not get a restrainiong order on him but it should work.If he continues to come near you call the police everytime.He *will* end up in jail!

Hey girl,

wow this guy is really stressing you, sorry that hes putting your through that! Is there anywhere else you can stay?? Maybe your parents can come over and help you pack your things! You can get a order of protection with the courts against him! Or the next time he does that to you call the cops, and they will arrest him, and that will give you a day or two to get out! If not you need to lay it out and tell him that you think you guys moved to fast, and you are ready to just split because you need time! He doesnt need to be treating you that way, and your so right because you need to have your peace of mind! You know...Girl. Keep us posted. Best of luck to you.

Hey! I know this reply is very delayed but im just wondering how you are going?? Is there any reason that you cant live with your mum and sister?? You shouldnt have to put up with your boyfriends violent ways and it definately isnt normal to "pretend" to choke you during sex! I hope things have gotten better and your situation has improved!

Love,

.Mel

hello mel!

Wow has my situation gotten better. Sorta. Lol I have been home with my family since october 13. He is still a probelm... Stalking, continously calling/texting, in fact... It was quiet last night- until he texted me at 10 pm. Lol since valentine's is this wednesday and my birthday is at the end of the month.. I am expecting him to send me something...Then i'll obtain the ppo. I already have two police reports on him for harassment and threat. He drives by my parent's home to insure I am home, as well as call my job- to make sure I am at my work. He's left voicemails telling me- he does this! Lol...So good for me for court.

I can't wait to have my day in court! I newly discovered he was bi-polar, and hasn't taken his meds since 16 [he's 25.] that explains his violent temper and how it changes on a dime! I go to a therapist now-- even though it's just talking... It's helping me so much. I am learning the traits of people like him..So I do not ever encounter anything like this ever again! The downfall to the entire thing.. He gave me an std. Knowingly. I didn't realize how bad he was... Until I was out of that apartment. I am still paying my portion of rent.. And going to take that to court too. All these medical bills.. It's been unreal! But... I am more organized...I am eating more normal..I can sleep more than 2-3 hours..I am much more at ease, not constantly looking over my shoulder at home. I've accepted everything that has happened... And realized he was the probelm the entire time. I thought I was losing my mind! Lol

so... Things are moving along much better- i've been real busy organizing my life, health, cleaning etc. I can't wait to go back to college in spring.. Another thing he didn't want me to do.. I'm finding almost everything I like doing..He didn't and I stopped doing them!

Thank you so much for your kind words and being in your thoughts! It means alot to me, even though I do not know you Smile

i hope all is well with you! Feel free to contact/pm me at any time!

Much love- -=red=-

Hey miss depressed,

its soooo great hearing that you have left and are now getting your life back on track and in order. It would be so hard for you to get the strength to leave, but you did it! I'm really proud of you!!

Congratulations for doing the things that you want to do now and not just the things your "allowed" to do! It would be exciting going to college and specialising in something that you want.

Thats terrible that he has given you an std!! Is it curable/manageable?? I hope you get everything you want in court!!

Feel free to email or pm me anytime.

Love,

mel

I'm so glad that you were able to move on. No woman or man needs to be treated that way. And as you know I know what i'm talking about. Some day I hope that you will find the right person for you until then stay safe and happy. Don't give up being yourself for someone else. They should love you for who you are not who they want you to be
