I talked to my sister about it this morning and she thinks I’m in a mentally abusive relationship that will only get worse.  COuld this be true? Am I with an abusive man and not even aware of it?

Yes. This could absolutely be true. The way that you’ve described that he speaks to you… that’s not acceptable, especially if you’re not doing anything to warrant it (like you’re not actually cheating, so he should have no reason to accuse you as such and especially not so often). The way he treats you also makes you feel bad, right? That kind of thing can actually be pretty damaging emotionally if you put up with it for too long and don’t stick up for yourself, so I would agree that it could be a mentally and emotionally abusive relationship.

There’s a difference between someone who has insecurities and deals with them in a constructive way by having a conversation at an appropriate time to try to resolve those insecurities and someone who is just being a jerk about everything. You know what I mean?
