This has so many red flags. I do not think it is just the oxycodone he is prescribed.
You said all you do is argue. What is so great about this relationship? It does not sound like the sex is too good either.
What is "oxy-rage?" That sounds kind of made up to me, like an excuse to never apologize. I just re-read your post. He throws things at you?
So this man abuses you, argues often, cannot perform sexually, and blames it all on his medication? Are you sure it's just not him?
Most all narcotic pain medications kills the male sex drive to some degree and really that is his problem and not yours, but you are making it yours.
This is after two weeks. Maybe if you were married it might be worth salvaging with therapy, but at two weeks you can just break up and move on with your life.
Just leave him.
You really do not want to be with someone who treats you that way regardless of their excuses. I find that with selfish argumentative people, they will blame everyone and everything but themselves. If you stay with him, he will eventually blame you for problems.
I do wonder what his good points are? (Seriously, does he have a really nice car, make alot of money, or something?)
He throws things, but not at me. Oxy rage is just something I've always heard used around people who take the drugs for fun. I notice it in myself.. just a shorter fuse, easy to anger. I remember driving one day and beating my hands agaisnt the steering wheel until I bruised myself, just over some minor traffic. A lot of people tend to get irrationally irritated and angered while on opiates. Also, he isn't blaming it on his meds. I know it's at least half-way to blame on the meds, but I think there are many other contributing factors. I want to leave him, I'm ready and I tried to break it off tonight after reading a lot of these replies but he is so.. damaged and I care for him a lot. We've grown up together and he was my brother's best friend. He has helped me get over the loss of my brother and mother, and I helped him get thru a terrible divorce and the loss of custody of a child he thought was his but turned out to be another man's. The main problem is, I let him move into my apartment, and then I lost my job and let him convince me to stay home and concentrate on my graduate studies while he pays the bills. It all seemed to good to be true and now I see that it was. But he's moved half his shit into my place and his parents have met me and started refering to me as part of the family. Its all so complicated and messy now. He is really good to me when we aren't bickering, or having terrible sex. And the sex is good, when he's hard but it's impossible to keep him hard. He will commit to me, take care of me, give me anything i want or ask for. He's just difficult, irritable, selfish and spoiled. But I don't want to put up with a bunch of shit that will just breed resentment in me just to have a commited relationship and have my bills paid.
