If he is physically abusive then you need to walk away, never mind the jealousy issues.

As for the jealousy, it was his duty to cope with it. That's his half of the bargain.

It was also your duty not to lie to him about anything. Either tell a guy the truth or tell him you won't talk about it, but no lies. That's your half of the bargain.

QuirkLady agony auntAny man that hits you does not love you.

Period.

He doesn't respect you or love you, and it's best for you to leave and find someone who treats you like a human being, flaws and all. As long as you stay with him he will never treat you even half as well as you deserve, and by staying you are telling him that you are okay with that.

It's been four years of this with my other half and all I can say is leave, please leave him. You deserve better, you know this and for him to treat you like this after you gave your heart to trust him. How dare he, you should tell him "How dare you!" Who is he to judge you? I cried for several nights and wondered why the man I loved treated me like this after giving him my heart with the trust I had for him. Don't cry anymore, leave him, please. You only live once and you should be happy everyday, don't let him take that away!

rcn agony auntFirst!!! What is your fault. I really don't get where people can have past experience, but then from person to person to person, experience to experience to experience, be blamed and blame themselves for experiencing something with someone else that the current partner was not present to be part of. That is taking "bad girl" to an extreme level that it needs not be taken.

Your experience with your partner began the day you began seeing him. What his past reveals and what your past reveals is not important as to the experience you two will share together. What I don't see as being appropriate is attaching your past to the current, but then being blamed for something that does not include him in the experience. If past mattered, would there be any happy couples? Would people value relationships with someone they choose to be with and love?

Look at the experience you're in now. New guy. If it doesn't last, do you think it's appropriate to be blamed or blame yourself with your new love for the experience now? This abnormal pattern needs to change. If he wants to live in your past, which is irrelevant to what you two can share together, than he's not the one for you. People experience.... that's life, and that's what you will do whether or not you choose to. Even those who shelter themselves and refrain from dating or sex until marriage, still experience. Your past is OK, it is yours and yours only, and shall not dictate the success or failure of your relationships.

The decision he needs to make, "Love you for being who you are." or "not remain part of your experience because he cannot see you past your past experience." I have a gal, who has had a negative past, one with trauma, and it bothers me from the angle of not knowing her at the time to have been able to protect her from the incidents that had happened. I also realize I cannot dwell on what I can't control. At no time have I considered her past as making her less of a person or less important to our relationship. I made a choice a long time ago that she is the one I want to share my life with, and with that choice, it's she that I want, despite of what the past may have brought.

I think you need to re look at what love really is, and if it's present in this relationship. You need to understand that true love is absent judgment of the past. It's loving you for no other reason than for you being who you are. If that's not what you're receiving, you're receiving less than what you deserve. As long as you settle for less, you're relationships won't be full as you deserve for them to be.

Sweetheart, from experience a man does not have to know about your past. Some things no matter how severe are better left unsaid. I know sometimes the love in your heart wants to let it out because you love him and trust him. But now you see what happens when information is said to the wrong person. From experience it's been four years with the person I am with and to this day he still brings it up. I have no where to go and I have my daughter with me. I lost my job and everything seems to go downhill. Girl, please from the bottom of my heart, don't make the same mistake I did, the longer you are with someone the harder it is to leave.......Go and find someone that makes you laugh everyday, that supports you and wants nothing but your love and happiness in return. Leave him.
