    First, I wanna day that my english is not too good so I hope yall could forgive me.

    I’ve been going through hell and back these days. I live in a western country and my anxiety has reached a big level regarding the crisis of co-vid because we don’t have enough measures to minimize its impact so we really are in the hands of God.

    I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 months, we’ve been really loving and caring towards each other, we had this passion at the beginning of our relationship like no one had before, we were meeting almost every day until he got to change the city so he could work. I never had any problems with long distance relationship because I’ve had a few of them before and I rarely complained. 3 weeks past his departure, he finally comes back and we are to meet somewhere in order to catch up, we went on a date and I wasn’t really feeling it, but he looked nice and smelled fresh and couldn’t stop complaining about his work and just talking about stuff that really didn’t matter to me as much as I would have loved him to ask about me and how I’ve been feeling and living the past weeks. But he simply didn’t. He couldn’t stop talking about himself and I despised that, although somehow I tried to understand him and I was really fighting with myself in order to pick the right words and not be impulsive. Then we went to watch a game, everything was good until he asked me to go to his place, which means we got to have sex and then say goodbye to each other until the next holidays. I didn’t want to. Don’t get me wrong, he’s the best partner I’ve ever had when it comes to sex. I just didn’t feel like it, and the moment I said it his face turned blue, pale, he looked really angry and insisted on going and I kept saying no. So, at this moment, I knew he messed up, you can’t just be mad at someone for refusing to have sexual intercourse with you. That’s truly heartbreaking. He then wanted some space because he was feeling dizzy and unlikely himself, I’ve never seen him like that. Then he decided to get home because he wasn’t feeling well, I tried to confort him and he pushed me away and told me to leave him alone. At this moment, I knew he wasn’t the one for me. It’s like he slapped me or something, I was shocked and couldn’t keep thinking about it because it just made me think about all those times when my parents would get violent with me for things infants do sometimes. I couldn’t bear it. Afterwards, he didn’t talk to me for like a week or so and I ended up texting him because I needed closure, he was happy that I talked to him and told me that he couldn’t remember pushing me aside he was so angry, which is a red flag for me, he could get physical any day. Then we kept talking and I wasn’t feeling anything for him. At first I hated him then I stopped replying to him and he finally decided to ask me what’s going on and I told him everything. He said that he ” respects my perspective on this but he doesn’t considerate as violence and that he’s sorry”. I know something is wrong with this, either with me or with the whole relationship, one day I really wanna talk to him and I am feeling well until he makes some mistake, as small as it can be, my feelings just shut off and I can’t stand talking to him. I feel like I am going a bit lunatic. Has anyone ever experienced that? What would you advise me to do?

    Please help. Thank you all so much

    Hey Angela,

    I have a similar experience with a date like this last year. Like you, I refused to accept his sexual advances and he got furious. That’s when I told him to go to hell and never spoke with him again.  I never regreted that and so should you.

    There’s nothing wrong with you!!! You did great. You dodged a huge bullet. I also think he’s a violent guy and you protected yourself from future misery and abuse. The other red flag is that he was inconsiderate of you and that should have been enough to end the date right then and there. I’ve been to HUNDREDS of these dates when the dude is blabbering about himself and never get to asks you anything, or he just askes the bare minimum. Spoiler alert: never worked out with those guys. Good riddance! You’re free once again!!!!

    Dear Angela:

    “he looked nice and smelled fresh and couldn’t stop complaining about his work.. He couldn’t stop talking about himself.. his face turned blue, pale, he looked really angry.. he was feeling dizzy and unlike himself, I’ve never seen him like that. Then he decided to get home because he wasn’t feeling well”-

    – it’s possible that he was on drugs, that’s why he behaved erratically, like you’ve never seen him behave before, and why his face changed colors and he felt dizzy and unwell.

    What do you think?

    First of all, thank you so much for your answer Sofioula.

    I think you are right. People should never be sorry for refusing to have sexual intercourse. Even though he has some special traits that made me like him so much at the beginning, he did the worst thing ever. It was a bad move. Don’t you think we’ve had enough of people thinking they can get anything they want?

    Dear Anita, thank you so much for your answer.

    Not at all, he wasn’t on drugs. But let me give you an image of what was wrong with him; when I met him he was at his last year of college which means he should look for work right after, enter the adult/professional world. He always had a way with his studies because he’s really smart and a fast learner but he never had any responsibilities. He was afraid to get into work life to the point where he wouldn’t even talk to me some days because he would be thinking about what’s gonna happen when his boss asks him to do some work and he would fail because he’s never done it before. He was anxious all the time. I honestly get that because it’s not easy on anybody especially if you are afraid of the future, but I don’t think that justifies his acts towards me as I am only human and I have my worries too. What do you think about that?

    Dear Angela:

    No doubt you shouldn’t be okay with his behavior. When I read your account of his behavior, it seemed to me at first that he was under great distress, being in the midst of a breakdown of some sort, and/ or he was on some stimulant drugs. Reading both of your posts, I don’t think that the issue is that he “doesn’t care”, but that he is under great distress and is overwhelmed.

    You shouldn’t suffer because of his distress, of course, and never have sex when you don’t want to! A man who pressures you to have sex, is one you should never choose to be around; it’s a despicable behavior on his part.

    Hey Angela,

    I am going through pretty much similar circumstances. But for me, it is mental and emotional abuse. I couldn’t wage a war with an undeserving person anymore, and I broke up with him a week ago. I got to know from another friend that he has moved on to  another women, already! Definitely wasn’t easy, but I am feeling alive again

    In your case, when you know he isn’t the one for you just take it as a sign and run before it is too late…
