A length of timw should not matter if you are in love. You have probably said too long because you are in love. If so all you can do is follow your heart but dont let your heart take over your head.

Duckyhelp agony auntBeing with someone "too long" doesnt exist. Your just not used to being away from him.

What you need to do is tell him how you feel and that it is not fair, he has gone too far, and that if he doesnt change you are leaving him. You need to do this, or else you are trapped. Get rid of him and live the life you should.

Of course you can dump him. People break up after 25 years!!!

But if you plan to do this, at least explain what is wrong and give him the chance to change.

Denise32 agony auntOF COURSE you can dump him - and you must!

I suggest you enroll your parents in helping you deal with him - I suppose you're living at home with them? They can forbid him to come around, or to phone you, you know. at your young age your parents are supposed to protect you.....also talk to your school counsellor.....

adamantine agony auntBy the sound of it, you've already admitted defeat by saying you can't dump him because you've been with him too long.

You have not been married for 15 years and have not had a family together.

He is just another boy.

You CAN dump him, it's up to you whether you're strong enough to do so.

LilPixie agony auntOf course you can dump him. It doesn't matter how long you have been together. People split up after 5, 10 maybe even 20 years of being together.

You're not happy in this relationship and you deserve someone who is going to treat you right, so get out of this while you can. Like CaringGuy said, he'll be beating you up next.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (12 July 2010):

You need to dump him. This is abuse. So what if you've been with him for so long? No one will care except him. He'll be beating you up next. You need to get away from this guy NOW. H doesn't love you, care about you or anything like that. He just enjoys abusing you. You can split up with him, and you must.
