ParticipantFirst hope, thank you for your advice. I know it’s horrible but I suppose it’s all about being selfish for a change. Something that didn’t come naturally to me and I doubt you either. I’ve decided I’m going to try and give things another go because I do really love him and things are good most of the time. I’ve told him how worried I am and he does understand and when I’ve said about leaving he tells me that he knows I’d be better off without him. I think he gets it. It was interesting (detail removed by moderator)because his friend was talking about a girl who he knows getting battered by her boyfriend and how there’s no excuse for it. My bf totally agreed and became uncomfortable with the conversation so hopefully it was a bit of a wake up call that his friends think this way. How long have you been with your fella? Do you have any idea why he acts this way?

ParticipantHis ex passed away from an (detail removed by moderator) He found her unconscious and couldn’t revive her.
I’ve just been doing some reading on retroactive jealousy which sounds precisely what my boyfriend has. I just really wish he’d get help. I feel so weak that I can’t just bring myself to walk away. I’m normally a really strong person emotionally but in this situation I seem to have turned into a bit of a wreak. -

ParticipantThank you for your advice. Deep down I think I know I need to leave it’s just easier said than done. He’s said he will try not to drink as much and that he won’t come out with me as much anymore. I really want to give him the benefit of the doubt as he’s the first person in a long time that I’ve truly loved. He said himself that he doesn’t want to be that person and I know he’s trying really hard not to let his issues affect our relationship. The problem is I’m not sure he’s ready to accept help. He did go to the gp (detail removed by moderator) and got some anti depressants but hasn’t sought counselling yet. I underwent counselling myself some time ago and I think it would really help him but I don’t know how I can get him to realise it would be the best thing for him too.
