A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Hi

My bf broke up with me for the third time a week ago and this time i thought i got over him. He called me two days back and begged me to take him back.

I told him i cant do this anymore, but he was keep on insisting, i guess i agreed. But i dont feel good about it. He always verbally abuses me. ignores me, insults me. I cant say he always behaves this way. Few times he is too good to be true.

The past one week i was happy and peaceful, now again he is in my life and i am depressed, scared that he is gonna dump me again and hving low self-esteem about myself.

Do i need to break up with him? Looks like i am kind of addicted to this guy. Does this often happens, that we get addicted to people. Why does this kind of addiction happen and how to come out of it.

Thanks for reading. Please help

A female reader, anonymous, writes (16 March 2011):

What he is doing is emotional manipulation. He knows you're going to take him back and forgive him regardless of how he behaves. The longer you spend with him, the worse it will become. Your days are too precious to be wasted with someone that doesn't value you enough to treat you with respect and love. Tell him it's over. Take him off your phone, off your facebook, stop talking to him. Even if you want to, don't allow yourself into that pitfall again. If you're tempted, write down all the hurtful things he's done. Like dumping you mulitple time, insulting you, etc. After you've had some time to rediscover you life without him in it, you have opportunity for a real man to come in who respects you and truely cares for you, not someone who says all the right things then can't deliver. The longer you spend with someone not worthy of your affections, the further away you are from finding the right one.

what you need to do is break it off for good

all he does is use you, and he knows it too

he already knows no matter what he does, you will always take him back

nobody needs to be in a relationship like this
