Reply #16: And no matter how much or how [View All]

sweetly and (pretend) contritely he comes crawling back and apologizes - DON"T GIVE IN!

(And then of course he'll become screaming abusive toward you. And blame you for ALL OF IT! And then he'll apologize profusely again and blah blah blah di frickin' dah.)

It WILL only escalate. You KNOW that. If he jerks you around in public while you're dating - just think what he'll do over time and in private. You DON"T want to go there.

I suspected as much about the controlling behaviour when he'd so "nicely bring you coffee in the morning." Ha. He was just checking to make sure you were alone.


He may have nice daughters, but it's through nothing he's done. Imagine how he treats them when he's mad. On second thought, don't imagine that. They are NOT your children to concern yourself with.

I'm sorry. Really I am. I KNOW how scary and devastating it can be. How charming how utterly wonderful he probably IS - when everything is going just exactly how HE WANTS IT, of course.

You knew though, you really did know all along he wasn't the right guy for you. Next time, trust that little voice that's saying - "uh, no."

Again, :hug: I'm sorry. Really. But better now and a little embarrassment - than later and the hospital.
