A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Why can't I make up my mind? I've been with my boyfriend for two years. Lately he's been acting weird- he's acting rude and careless towards me. So when he's like this I get so mad and I prepare myself to break it off. When I go to do this though, it's like he can read my mind and he goes back to normal. He is sweet again and tells me how he's sorry for the way he's been acting. Then all is well with the world. But soon enough he starts up again. It never used to be this way but it's like riding a roller coaster- up and down and up and down again. I don't know how to explain it but it's like a cycle he has no control over. But when it's good between us, it's wonderful. And just the same when it's bad it's to the point where I cry and feel sick to my stomach. I don't let him see me this way but he can tell that he made me miserable and that's when he appologizes and truely feels bad. I try to break it off when he's mean but each time before I say anything he's back to normal. What's wrong? What should I do?

I want to thank you guys sooo much. I never knew that this wasn't normal. I mean I didn't think that it was a type of abuse or a justifiable reason to break up with someone. I've read up on emotional abuse and it fit to a T. He's been like this for a while and it has just been getting worse. As soon as I read these I told my mom, met her for lunch, told her EVERYTHING for the first time and she helped me cope with the heartbreak and getting the strength to break it off. And just like that within a day he is out of my life. I thought I would be miserable but after I did it I feel free. Thank you so so much!
