Abusive Relationship. Can Anyone Analyze Please? Posted: 08-21-07 15:25pm
i've been friends with this guy long
before we even started having a
relationship, he always had the tendeacy
to go and come when ever he wanted so it
was ok then bc we were not involved as a
couple. So finally he came back and told
me he was having trouble with the family
business and our friendship picked up and
i just had gotten out of a 2 year
relationship. we started carrying a
relationship around summer of 2000. i
ended up telling him i had feelings for
him and he did the same by the time i know
it i'm in another relationship.
I'm usually a type of person when i get to
know someone for quiet sometime that i
fall so comfortable with the person that
for me it would be a bit hard to actually
let go of.
so we tell our parents my parents were not
okay with it but i told them i was in love
with him and thats all that it matters. he
told his folks as well and his mom was
never okay with out relationship in the
beginning. so i get to know him more and
more and after a year into our
relationship i go and finally met this
guy.
When i met him its like we clicked right
away. To me i found the love of my life, i
found my soulmate. I was at his country
for 3 months we went out alot we talked
about our future, kids, life, we actually
went to go look for engagment rings it was
that serious between us. But never
proposed. and thats one reason that left
me devestated that you know i'm here
carrying a long distance relationship for
about a year everything going so well i
would had like some sort of indication
that where the relationship was going or
if there would had been a future for us
and if there was then the least he could
had done was to make me his fiance. To me
what everyone would say it wouldn't matter
to me because i was in love with him and i
knew this is the guy i wanted.
So i go back and finish college. After i
came back things had started to fall apart
between us what happened to him i dont
know. We would get into little arguments
but not to big. Something i would had let
it slide. After months passed by things
had started to become irriating. He would
leave for about 2 to 3 weeks not telling
me where he would be going or about a
month the max. and when he came back he
said i was busy with work. we had an huge
argument of having do this because i was
sick of him actually doing this. you know
going back and comming back.
i know it was long distance and sometimes
long distance does put its strain on it as
well, and i didnt blame him on that part
because i knew it was difficult for him as
well. Being away from each other.
things go back to normal but a month later
things start to pick up again but this
time it was bad mouthing either he started
it and i would yell at him. he would call
me disgusting names and i would tell to
leave i never wanted to hear from him he
would go off on me again and not hearing
from him. did the same exact things but
come back as if nothing ever happened.
This went of for 3 years. And would had
gotten to a point where we would have big
fights which led us to not talking to each
other for a month or 2. basially with him
when the names callings start well like
that i had lost myself esteem, felt like i
was worth nothing. I isolated myself from
my family, never went into family
gatherings, and when i come home i would
end up crying and my mom knew something
was wrong but tried to hide it somehow, i
would basically cry myself to sleep, i
would wait up till 2 to 3 am in the
morning trying to hear from him and
basically take more of his abuse. (he is a
drinker but how heavy i dont know)
My depression actually started in 2001 up
until now.
I was working at foley's at that time and
my job was the one helping me stand on my
feet and not thinking about stuff and
would go to the gym everyday. So i was in
good shape. I know for a fact that his mom
had a big influence on him. I never got
along with her but with the rest of the
family were very supportive of us.
in 2004 i broke up with him bc i could had
no longer take this. his form of
abusinvess towards me. i took it the
hardest bc i really didnt want to do it he
too was devestated and told me so many
times that he try to fix the relationship
and when he did it would fall apart again
i just couldn't go through that anymore.
his sister and i were very close she had
practially begged up to get back together
and try to make things work but i never
gave in and tried explaning things to her
nicely but she took it hard as well. a
week after the relationship i met someone
else. i know i shouldnt had but i didnt
want to be alone anymore. And also never
had recovered from my relationship with my
ex. I met my boyfriend which is now my
husband. my bf took me out and told me if
i was sure i wanted to take the
relationship further with him and see
where the relationship was headed and had
asked me if i wanted to go back to my ex.
i told him lets take the relationship
futher but never mentioned anything about
the ex.
i also didnt want to let go of the
relationship with my ex because he was a
big part of my life and just didnt want
things to end. I had a hard time accepting
the fact that he's no longer going to be a
part of my life anymore but gradually our
contact started to drop but always get
picked back up.
i found myself engaged to my bf couple of
months later and in 2005 got married. I
told my ex bf he took the news very hard.
And just congrgulated me in my wedding
website. And i emailed him back and said
thank you and our conversations started.
My husband know about the sitution because
i'm really upfront with him.
So about a month or 2 pass by with no
interputions in my life i was in my
honeymoon phase. But after that, thats
when everything starts to get worser.
Till that day i didnt want to let go of
the ex bc still i had a hard time letting
him go. My ex had started to become more
aggressive with me and basically threw
most of his anger on me. He too got
engaged my ex and kept talking about how
happy he is in his life and how he found
the love of his life, and that his love
for his fiance is so real, and how he
found his soulmate i could had cared less
so i just congragulated him. It was like
he was throwing her in my face.
When he basically threw his anger and
aggressivness towards me i would be the
one going crazy. Because everytime
everyday would be back to back. cussing me
out, calling me names, everything you
could name he called me. I wouldn't sleep
i was up till 3 to 4 or 5 in the morning.
i had lost weight, sometimes i would walk
out of the apartment walking towards the
hotel and husband everytime kept picking
me up. I wouldn't had showed up for work.
I told my ex if he wouldn't cut it out for
what he was doing then i would call and
have a big talk with his father. My panic
attacks would start to having anxity
attacks, most nights i couldn't breath.
this went of for about basically for about
a year. While he was married at the same
time he had asked me if possible we could
stay friends i said no because i had
basically had it with his attitude so he
goes off on me again saying that
"okay if u really want this thats ok with
me im leaving for good and u better get
lost too since i dont wanna c ur name in
my mailbox anymore and dont wanna hear
from u at all and this is the last thing i
wanna do but if i hear one word only one
word from u i fu... ur a... up im dead
serious now u can f... off "
now, this is while he is married. i had
left a message to him warning him that if
he didnt cut out this crap then i would
make that phone call to his father. I left
him alone for about 5 months never heard
from him again. Until he messaged me
again. I asked why he's back and he said
i'm just answering your lovely messages. i
told him that he was an fool for even
responding and that message was 5 months
old. i told him to go and look at the
dates of those message and have him tell
me how old that is and why he'd respond.
This is what he said again
"" hey listen bi...,i dont have time to
dig in my inbox and search for your
sh...,ok? and on the other hand u cant
talk to me like that,underestood? who the
fu... u think u are? by the way lets
pretend that all u said was fu...
right,then what? what a f... difference
does it make ? to me nothing, i dont give
a sh...,ok? i dont give a sh..
I was really at the end of my wits with
him. really was. i came from my real
estate class. I called his sister tried to
act like nothing was going on. And had
asked nicely to put her father on the
phone so i could have a big talk with him.
My ex soon found out it was me he grabbed
the phone and told me to f..... of and
never wanted to hear from and said if i
hear from you again i make sure i f.... u
up. why, i tried calling his father was
because i wanted to tell him the situation
thats been going on and he needed to get
some sort of help. At least trying to get
some sort of sense to him.
my situation had become much worser at
home i would take out my anger on my
husband. we would seperate and get back
together. at one point i tried opeining up
to my parents they too thought i was crazy
so basically i had no help and at the same
till i was still fighting with the ex. My
husband sent me home to my parents but i
would end up going back home. i called my
husband and told him i promise to get my
act back together. My husband too was
disturbed during this situation.
my panic attacks and anixty would had
become much worser but i never got any
treatments for them. i would stay up till
5 to 6 in the morning everynight. i
couldn't eat, sleep. i had lost weight the
stress was getting to me, my husband
nagging, my parents on the other side as
well as my ex. i still didnt want to let
my ex go after all this. i would get up in
the middle of the night and walked away
from the apartment and would walk towards
a hotel. my husband picks me up. my
husband was going crazy through this
situation too as well. he too had no
support system my husband he wanted to so
many time mention the troubels between us
to his parents i didnt let him. i didnt
want him to make me look like a fool. so i
was basically in a tough situation and
husband was too. basically my husband was
crying mostly everyday. and i was the one
hurt the most during all this.
a month passed by. it started again with
the ex. i just messaged him in yahoo just
to say hi how are you like that kind of
message. and asked how his sister was
doing. he slams me again saying that why
are you trying to get into my emails. he
says why are you reading into my emails. i
said what he was talking about and i had
no acess to his personal stuff. it came to
a point where i was at the end of my wits
with him really was. and here he is
accusing me. i logged off the computer and
was up all night and figured out what was
going on. I knew at the beginning that he
was having troubles in his marriage as
well. So i called him up the next day. his
wife picked up the phone hung up but
called back again. and he picked up. i
started yelling at him telling him that
his wife has nothing better to but to sit
down and read every conversation that you
and I had together from the first momment
that you and I carried a conversation and
told him how he could do something like
that. and hung up the phone. i went upset.
basiaclly crazy. my husband tried to calm
me down. and tried to fall asleep that
night. with all the nagging going on. i
was at the end of my wits really was. i
started tearing up the house apart the
next day. i tried committing sucide. but
the people from the apartment complex came
in the apartment before i wanted to go
through with killing myself they found me
in the tub with my face turning purple. my
husband had called tha apartment complex.
and they had called the ambulance and
wheeled me off to ER and they had thought
that i was over dosing with medication.
So the hospital didnt realese me that
night so they transfered me to an
psycatric hospital for 2 days. and kept
calling my husband if he dont get me out
of here that i try killing myself again.
cuz i was going crazy in there too. so he
took me out the 2nd day.
i stoped the contact with the ex. in
January of 07 i told my husband i needed
to get away and just leave the country and
i booked a flight to middle east to go
visit my family. i could had cared less
about the family because i was trying to
recover with my problems. I just needed
some place to get my thoughts together and
wanted to see if i wanted to stay in my
marriage.
i was suppose to stay for 3 weeks but
stayed for 2 because just being there in
the same country as where the ex was just
brought back alot of memories
i did however inatiate contact with the
ex. Trying to get some sort of clousre if
possible. Before we met face to face we
had a talk over the phone i told him i
made a mistake in the relationship and i
wanted him back. he told me if there is
anything he can do to try to help me that
he be there for me. he even mentioned if
he wanted to talk to my parents for
getting help i said no. i ended up crying
and i broke down. so we met up that day he
picked me up. went out but as usual never
got any talking down as far as closure he
basically wanted to know what was going on
with me and my marriage. i told him it was
none of his business to know. so after a
couple of minutes with him in the car he
turned around and told me he wanted to
have sex with me. That hit me again and i
got mad at him big time. while he was
talking in the car i got out slammed the
door never said goodbye and left. And left
things like that again. but later i called
and apologized for my behavior. that day i
met with him the next day i returned back
to where i belong. he told me that if he
ever hear from me that he would call my
folks and nag about me. then at the end of
the conversation he ends up telling me
that he still love me. i hung up the phone
and its been nearly 6 months never heard
from him. And an update that a couple of
months later i find out he's in
california. he mentioned having family in
california but what his other plans are i
dont know. i'm always thinking if he comes
here to where i am do i file a restraing
order on him do i deport him back to where
he belongs. i dont think i'd ever have the
guts for doing the restraning order on one
person i use to love so much. I dont want
things ending up tragic for me again. i
dont want to be the one that having to
take him to court for harrssment towards
me and my family. alot of things run in my
mind. i know he's back for more.

Abusive Relationship. Posted: 08-29-07 13:53pm
Dear Can anyone analyze this; Where do I
begin? First of all, you need to work on
your communication skills. Not for this
relationship, but to be able to express
yourself better in post, and probably in
personal conversations also. Then, you
need to stop seeing anyone for at least
six months. You have no self esteem.
None. By being truly single, you will be
able to build up your self worth. Change
your phone number, move if you can. Start
over somewhere else. These two
relationships, if you can call them that,
are sick, and you are trying to ride a
dead horse. Until you do these things you
will never be able to have a decent
relationship. I know from personal
experience. My life was a bigger mess
than yours is. I saw a councilor for three
years, (which is probably a good idea for
you too.) I walked away from everything,
job, home, friends, personal belongings,
everything. I have now been married to a
wonderful man for twenty years. You could
do the same thing, but you have to work at
it. It's just not going to fix itself.
Another thing is, you need to develop some
discernment in picking out your mate. It's
very obvious you haven't done too well so
far. You don't have to say yes to everyone
who ask you out. Be discrete. Look for
signs in a persons character and
personality as to wether they are the kind
of person you would want to spend the rest
of your life with. Don't be easily swayed
by looks or money, or charm. If you go
with someone who has no character and a
bad personality, he is going to make your
life miserable. Now, pull yourself up by
your boot straps. Quit feeling sad about
the past. You have a wonderful future
ahead of you if you will just only reach
out and grab it. And, you can't grab the
future if your hands are full of the past.
God bless you.

I agree with ChildofGOD........first you
did say you came from your Real Estate
Class? You most definately need to work on
your communication and grammer. It took me
almost 20 minuttes to read and try ot
comomprehend what you had written........
You Need to MOVE FORWARD.....its like a
broken record on and on and on........ You
aren't going to sale many houses in a
depressed mood!

It seems to me you are the saviour type.
The problem is if you are a giving,
compassionate person and you meet someone
who will take advantage of that it can
lead to chaos. I have been with my partner
now for two and a half years and he lies
constantly about his addictions and will
go behind my back when he can.
He knows im forgiving and my approach is
to help. But the fact is in the end im
staying with him and just making
allowances for his behaviour which isnt
really helping him at all. If you love
her, help her by leaving her. Its been so
long for me and the abuse hasnt stopped.
Focus on what relationship you wanted
growing up. Dont settle for someone so
selfish. Your worth more than that.
