Dear Jenny Lynn:

Very powerful words: “He chooses anger over me EVERY TIME”- every time, every single time. And the first part of the sentence: he chooses anger over you. And every time he does that, he persists, not only for a moment, or a day, but day after day, night after night.

You wrote: “like you’re (Glenn, that is) mad the sky is red… you keep talking about it being red and how annoyed you are by it. I am here with the facts!…it’s BLUE not RED and I have 10 ways to show/tell/prove to you… But he actually has no intention of letting someone remove his façade of anger or actually listening with the idea that what that person is saying is true. He just wants to be mad and have the world apologize for the red sky”.

I have no doubt whatsoever that ending the relationship with Glenn is the right thing for you to do, no doubt whatsoever. Staying with him is a recipe for further deterioration of your mental health. As distressed as you are now and will be in the near future, away from him you have the chance to get better. With him you don’t have such a chance, or an opportunity.

There is something else: if you stayed with him and had a child with him, what a disservice it would have been for that child, to grow up with a father as irrational as this,  one who will withdraw from his own child when mad, for whatever irrational reason. That would mess up the child.

Glenn, unfortunately, is a very poor boyfriend choice for any woman, a poor choice for a father to have (sad a child has no say on the matter), and a poor choice in any personal relationship context.

Be strong, Jenny Lynn. Please be strong and make this move happen.
