      Really feel like he is getting worse with daily moaning and condescending behaviour. Or just putting me down or trying to make me feel stupid.

      Such small things. Like asking me to check if one thing matches another thing. But not specifying what the other thing is. I asked a couple of times but still not clear. Then he says oh come on, like I’m being dumb. And then I feel like I’m being stupid because I didn’t understand. Or we’ll agree about something one day, then the next when we go to finalise it he’ll start querying it all again. The same stuff we’ve already discussed, and then say I was meant to have it all ready. When we did. No matter how much I try and foresee everything so I don’t give him anything to criticise he will find something.

      There is general moaning about other things as well that aren’t directly to do with me but are just so grinding. Like it wears me down listening to it. Such misery all the time. I’ve asked him to please stop complaining about moaning about everything but he gets mad.

      On occasion he’ll ask me how to do something, usually to do with his phone or tech stuff. Am sure he knows anyway. Simple stuff. Then when I tell him he’ll do different and say that’s what I told him to do.

      He will berate me in public, walking around a shop or something. Then I’ll stop to look at something and he’ll go off and then say where was I and how he was waiting for me.

      He has said he wants me to be more proactive about a business and make decisions but pretty much every suggestion I make gets put aside or scoffed at like it’s the stupidest thing in the world.

      He is putting me down about things I know aren’t true. When I worked I was in (sector removed by Moderator) and I was good at it. Yet he’ll say I have poor communication skills and laugh when I say I used to do it for a living. Literally every communication I have, even if I am messaging a friend, he’ll say I should say this or that. Or say that he said this or that.

      Just finding it hard. Today is meant to be a good day for me but no different. Every now and again he’ll say something and be completely different, like “normal”, then it’ll switch back to being not that nice. I hate it. That the kind of good interactions keep making you feel how things were and should be, then the next there’s a jibe or huffing and puffing and eye rolling and you feel like rubbish again.

      I’m sorry this is happening to you. I too had similar experiences with ex – it was all weird and not what I had experienced before. I am sorry this is happening to you.

      There are helplines out there to call. I was calling those at the time of near leaving. They helped out.
