      its very confusing when he basically says that he doesnt know better due to his own mental health. i am still stuck in my situation because fkr a second he seemed like he was working on himself but now he clearly isnt and is putting it off. hes being incredibly self centered and i almost feel estranged around him. he says that he needs me and then he forgets im even coming over despite obvious plans. he hasnt hurt me again yet but hes made jokes about it and i dont understand why im not leaving because it’s so clearly obvious that this is bad for me. but he brings out certain things in me that i do like and hes the only person ive ever met with as much drive as me to move up in the world but i keep getting nowhere while he moves up because i cant set boundaries or say no to him due to being codependent. the codependency feels like my fault because its happened in other relationships before but its so much worse with him because i have real fear that setting boundaries or saying no could cause him to blow up

      I finally got out (detail removed by moderator) ago. I want to say thank you because since I posted this Ive read those replies over and over again. I’m still unfortunately in contact with him a little because he still has some of my stuff, but it’s almost all over.
      It still feels like he’s in my head, but every single aspect of my life has gotten better since I’ve gotten away.
      I don’t have excema anymore, I got my job back (the exact one I lost, but now in a different place) I quit smoking, and I can actually drive again and get through my day like a normal person.
      Since I’ve left I can see so much more clearly how bad it was and it feels like new memories keep resurfacing each day.
      I still do have trouble remembering the past year, and I’d rather not sometimes, but each memory that comes back keeps me farther away from him and that is something I value more than almost anything.
      Without reaching out, I don’t know how else I could have done this. But I’m so glad I did and thank you so much again.
      You helped to save my life.
