My boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 years now, and in that time, he has broken up with me four times. If I’m not exaggerating, in every slight argument, he starts abu$ing me, calling me all sorts of names, and telling me he’s not interested anymore because I am not the kind of woman he wants. He always makes me feel less of myself. I am a single mother of one, and he knew right from the start. I love this guy more than anything in this world, but he always treats me like I am nobody to him. I never cheated on him or did anything I’m not supposed to do in a relationship, but all I get from him is to be treated like trash. Since I have been in a relationship with him, all I feel is pain, and it hurts me so much. Last year, in April, he broke up with me again, and I believed that was the end.
But last month, he came back begging (like he always does), saying he made a mistake, regretted it, and wanted us back. I took him back because I am still crazily in love with him, even after one year of separation. But after three weeks of getting back, he started his old attitude. I was seriously sick in his house and couldn’t even speak, yet this guy wanted me to cook for him. He wanted to sleep with me every time, and if I said no, he would start abu$ing and cur$ing me. One day, with tears in my eyes, I asked him why he always treated me like tra$h. This guy said I should leave, that he wasn’t interested in the relationship anymore, all because I decided to stand up for myself. I left his house and came back to mine. Now he’s begging again, and I told him I don’t want him anymore because I cannot settle for less.
This guy told me that dating a single mother like me is “settling for less.” I felt so bad with this statement. Please, my people, what do you think I should do? My mom knows him already, but she saw how sad I was whenever we were together and said she would never support our relationship.
