Hi Mark,

He was wonderful when I met him.  Kind, considerate, intelligent.  Everything I thought I was looking for in a partner.  I fell in love with who I thought he was.  It wasn’t until around 6 months in that he started behaving differently and picking the little fights.  But even then he would still apologize afterwards and take accountability for his ‘bad behavior’ so I thought it was going to be ok would pass. He’d usually have a reason like someone in his family back home was in poor health and he was very stressed out over it because he couldn’t afford to fly home ect.  Obviously I know it’s not ok now. It keeps happening and it’s progressively getting worse.  You are right.  I should question why I’m still with him today.
