Hi I'm 17 and I've been with this guy for about 6 months now.

He's my brothers friend, well they're not really friends but they know each other.

He was so nice and sweet in the beginning but now oh my god he is the worst. He treats me like s^^t and I know it, but he's so sweet to other people. He only talks about sex which by the way I did not have with him.

Every time I say I'm going break free of him he pulls me back in. Its like he has me on a leash I don't know what to do. I honestly like him a lot though. Oh and another thing he's younger than me by a year. Help me I need advice.

littlest.devil agony auntI know how you feel. All my serious relationships have been with very controlling manipulative people. You have to realize that his behaviour towards you is control and NOT love. He's with you because he's insecure and controlling you satisfies a need within him. If he loved you he'd let you grow and make your own choices. Staying with him is not worth it. Trust me I got sucked in just like you are now. One of the relationships ended up making me very emotionally damaged and in the other relationship I was sexually assaulted. Someone needs to be emotionally and mentally stable as a person before they can have a relationship. He does not sound stable...I know it'S tough but walk away if you're unhappy. as much as you might not see it now there ARE other guys - nicer guys - better guys. Hang in there :)
