Is my current relationship lowering my self-esteem

Dear cupid

Please read the entire post

I had one bf before the current relationship. My ex-bf was extremely clingy type with no self-esteem at all. I broke up with him and he still send me messages. My current bf is the extreme oppoiste of my ex-bf. He is very aloof, never pays attension to me much, ignores me often and never contacts me often, until i contact him.

I used to get angry when anyone hurts me, now my bf often does the same to me, verbally abuses me, but i never get angry anymore. I guess the current relationship has something to do with self-esteem.

I know i need to get out of this relationship. My bf didnt call me or didnt pick up my call for the past 3 days. We didnt have fight past week, so I am not even sure why he didnt pick up. Since he often does this, i guess i got used to it.

My question is, can anyone make the other people feel like trash even though their self-esteem was never a problem before. Is this called manipulation? I totally feel i am doing the exact same thing my ex-bf used to do to me.

Please advice. Thanks for your help

GeeGee255 agony auntIsn't it funny that life sent up two men so opposite of each other? First one that suffocated you and was to clingy and now you have one that won't even answered the phone when you call him.

I think life is trying is to teach you a lesson about extremes. I think that a new man will be coming into your life who falls somewhere in the middle and nature wanted you to be able to recognise him (and a good thing) when you meet him. He is the one you were always meant to be with,

not the other two.
