Hi guys,
So I've been with my boyfriend for just under two years now.
I've noticed that he seems to have lost a lot of interest in me. He calls me things that aren't very nice sometimes when we argue. Sure I'll sometimes call him a tw*t or something minor, but he goes full on out with it, calling me things such as a psychopath, tells me I need help, calls me a bitch, he says I'm a horrible person, he calls me a freak when he knows full well I was bullied with that insult when I was younger. This isn't what I'm here to talk about.
He called me by his ex's pet name earlier today. Now, it wasn't a general pet name such as 'baby' or 'sweetheart', it was a particular item of food which is quite weird and is not used as a pet name. He called me this and I asked him not to, as he and I know about the situation with his ex. But he gets really really defensive about it, denies that he called her that and then when I prove it to him, he tells me to f*ck off. I've been paranoid about him and her for months. I've caught him staring at her before, staring and checking her out. He denies this but it was obvious. He hates saying her name, obviously if you were trying to deny having feelings for someone you'd hate to say their name. I think he's called me her name before, but I didn't quite catch it properly. She has a distinguishable name.
He checks out every girl on the street, he hates me cuddling him, he doesn't like having sex with me anymore and when I see him he's always moody with me or he's on his phone, ipod or xbox.
I'm not any of these things he says, I have a large circle of friends whereas he does not, probably due to the way he treats me.
I'm in love with this guy. Somehow. My life would be nothing without him. I have no close friends to rely on, I don't particularly get on well with my family. I feel like he knows I need him and he likes to play on it.
So sorry about the huge block of text, your kindness of reading and replying is greatly appreciated.
