Fiona xxx agony auntThey say love and hate are very close. It's possible that the more you love somebody the more you can hurt somebody or be hurt by them.

However for true love, you soon break out of that cycle as you don't want to hurt him, or he hurt you. I really mean in terms of arguments, rather than unfaithfulness or violence.

At what point did you decide you don't deserve being treated well, or do you think it's the way ahead to treat somebody in this way? Do as you would be done by and if you treat somebody with the respect that you deserve.

So that tells me you have confidence issues and low self-respect. If you are in a good relationship, you boost each-others confidence nad self-esteem not chip away at it.

By the sounds of it, you are wondering what you have in common and you have fallen out of love.

Why drag him through hell and back, it doesn't make sense.

If he's hurt you and you are drifting apart, then there is no need to be filled with rage and revenge, just leave. It sounds like he has a lot of baggage, do you really want a guy with baggage, who used you, to get over his ex-wife? By the way I don't like 20 year age-gaps.

You are worthy of being happy and in a loving relationship. You are young enough to have the time to find somebody else.

This isn't a relationship, its a punishment! And no, as much as you want to smack him..don't lower yourself to that. When I read your thread I was so sad and feeling quite annoyed. Sad for you and annoyed as hell, for you, as well. What is it exactly that you love in this man? I was always taught the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. And indifference is worse than hate. With hate their is feelings and passion albit..negative. this man is indifferent..he doesn't care one bit. You are 18-21 years old.....at what stage did you consider yourself only worth a few snippets of love affection and attention? If you were to leave for an amount of time and he didn't miss you, its not because he's stupid, its because he's a selfish, cold man. So, my opinion is that you are better off alone restoring and getting back your self worth than being with this guy who appears to be depleting your confidence and worthiness as a human being. And he's doing this because you are allowing it. You are young, and vibrant...don't allow anyone to tear you down in life like this. There are good men out there. You did nothing to deserve this inhumane treatment. Get out of there. Good luck and once you heal and recover, go find someone who makes you his feel like you are on top of the world. There are amazingly wonderful, good men out there,,,dump this ass and go find one.

No it's not normal.

It shows that you have stuck around far too long.

You sound a little inexperienced so I will give you the number 1 rule to live by.

When you stop being happy with a guy, you leave him. You don't let him drag you through hell and hurt you and treat you bad.

Leave now and don't make this mistake again.

Good Luck!! xx
