I (23f) just married my boyfriend (24m) and want to end it.
Let’s call him Rick. Let’s call me Emma.
I’ve known Rick for five years; we met online and quickly developed a relationship through the internet as he lived in another country. Throughout our dating stage, he had always been quite jealous and insecure, but I also had been but to a lower degree. I will admit. It came to a level where these were the rules in our relationship:
- location on
- Pictures wherever we are and “proof” of who you’re with.
- no contact of the other sex
- no friends of the other sex
- we’d Facetime most of the day, and overall, it was a very jealous and insecure relationship on both parts.
Mind you, by then we had never met in person and were still dating strictly online.
He visited me a few times and I visited him twice, and two years into our relationship he proposed. We were engaged and the relationship still continued with a lot of arguments and control issues due to insecurity.
I got fed up and broke up with him twice on two occasions:
- He said, “i couldn’t care less” about me going to visit
- He began disrespecting me, and the control became worse.
Rick began using words like “cxnt” “bxtch” sometimes and would be jealous of me interacting with my cousins or close family friends/uncles. He’d try and get onto my phone and would even accuse me of flirting with his cousins.
After breaking up, he would become everything I asked for each time. He would be sweet, buy me flowers and gifts, and constantly call or text begging and crying for me back, even when I asked for space. Rick would also message my mom, telling her how much he missed me and wanted me back.
Alas, I told my mom it wasn’t working with him, and I felt suffocated, but she made me feel like the right choice was to give him a chance since she thought he’d hurt himself.
Flash forward to now.
We got married six months ago and it has been a continuation of the same behavior. He’s not sweet or romantic and constantly questions me and flies into fits of jealousy over my cousins, neighbors, and any male near me. He always asks who, and if I message anyone, he’s told the neighbor multiple times, “You can have her,” he has called me a slut or similar words and constantly has a “Why are you doing your hair, makeup, etc., etc.” mentality.
I became so depressed and reclusive that my family began telling me I didn’t seem like myself.
I am incredibly unhappy, and I’ve just tried to love him more and ask him to care, but he won’t.
My father told me I look like a shell of who I once was.
However, I had a wedding that all my family attended, and I just got married at 23, not even six months ago. He just moved here and is from a foreign country.
I told him I wanted to separate and end things two days ago, but he’s begging for another chance and says he will prove himself. He has been acting sweetly since.
He is my longest relationship, but in person, we’ve only spent eight months together physically.
I don’t know what to do. I know to many I may seem dumb, and by all means, I’m aware, but I suppose I want unbiased advice.
How can I deal with this?
This is simply unacceptable. She needs to have the strength to move on. It can be challenging to let go of relationships when you’re young because of how they experience time.
Two years in a lifetime is a short period, but for a 20-year-old, it’s 10% of their life, which makes itdifficult to decide whether or not to continue and try to work through the issues or move on to someone else.
One thing we all need to learn is that change is possible, but it is incredibly difficult. It first requires acknowledging the issue and then taking action to improve behavior. Most people won’t even take the first step, and it’s not your responsibility to make them better.
Her relationship has the potential to become dangerous, and she needs to acknowledge this and move on.
