Please leave this man and don’t take him back. I have just come out of an abusive relationship that lasted 5 years, the abuse only gets worse and it gets harder to leave. I’m not in the right frame of mind to comment more today as I have come looking for support myself. I am out of the relationship 4 months now and I wouldn’t wish this emotional turmoil on anyway so please follow your instinct. His behaviour isn’t right and you do deserve a relationship with equal mutual respect. Please take a look at the cycle of abuse.
