I already moved out... My mom lent me her couch temporarily . We've been together 3 years . I became addicted to meth when we first hooked up , because that was his DOC. We've done different drugs together .though I quit meth after our first year . I went sober for a while and I also binged on oxy at times. He smokes meth still. It bugs me .He acts like a lunatic . And he's a jerk when he comes down. I tried to be fair about the meth , ya know ? Tried to be "cool" about it and reasonable. Hell I wouldn't want him telling ME I CANT get high if I wanted. (I'm not addicted to anything, but i enjoy not being sober sometimes)

He drives me crazy . I lived with him and his grandma and Aunt For 3years. We recently got in a big fight. I was mad because I feel like he waits for me to fall asleep and then leaves all night. Sick of waking up without my boyfriend . he's sneaky about it and that's what angers me the most. That and he's a control freak I can't even talk on the phone without him being a jerk and accusing me of things, so imagine if I try to be social with anyone I know. Its a fight. It's unfair.
So anyway he had been up for the night probably not the best time to come at him with a WTF ordeal, but I did because I was upset. After his grandma got in the middle I about lost it and went to my drawer to get dressed. i was like f this I'm leaving and he grabs me. I start screaming at him to let go and I'm on crutches cuz I pulled a muscle in my foot and anyway I started getting closterphobic (bad spelling)and I felt like I couldn't breath, this went on for so long, I felt terrorized, I reached for a cup and broke it over his head and I would of cut his throat with the handle but I couldn't reach it so I just got the side of his neck.. lol. It's not funny . But whatever... I can't take his family anymore, no one came to get him off of me , they spoil him rotten and it disgusts me the shit they let him get away with.
Anyway ... I love him... I don't see much of a future though... ... but I miss him... He says "how can you be ok with not holding me??"
He's right.... We were cute together , all cuddly ... I know how he feels... It hurts when someone you love just drops you like everything you shared was NOTHING. I can't do that to him!!... I can't just walk away like that... like I just forgot what we ment to each other . I was thinking maybe it's best just to taper... Like maybe we will slowly move apart and it would be better then just a huge blow all at once. I told him if he got a job I would get a place with him but I'm not moving back into his grandmas house.. Idk what to do about his meth problem though... I don't want to get my hopes up like hes just gonna change....I wish he would stop sending me suicide threats. It's so annoying... Idk what the right thing to do is.... Does anyone have anything to say about it ?? Thanks....
 
How you describe your partner sounds like he is highly manipulative. You mention he's a control freak and the baseless accusations of wrongdoing after phone calls and threatened suicide definitely confirm this, these are not the actions of someone who loves you, no matter what is said. This is not sustainable if you are looking for a healthy relationship. It is understandable to feel conflicted over leaving somebody but you must consider how much more you will suffer if you continue to care about someone who seemingly only cares for themselves. There is a saying here 'give them an inch and they'll take a mile'

In the past I had something very similar to this and it was a total headfuck, I was socially isolated and had nobody I could talk to about my experience. The realisation set in that I could not help or carry my partner if they were not prepared to deal with their own bad behaviour, in the end the thought of being alone was far better than putting up with being emotionally exploited at every turn. It was an ugly drawn out process breaking free of the whole mess but my sanity returned and I moved on to a happier, if imperfect life eventually.
 
Leave. Even if temporarily, It sounds chaotic - never good. Get some headspace for yourself; so you can make the right decision regarding the whole situation.

Yes I've been gone for over a week now .
@barbecue bob thank you for your response. You are right of course. Emotionally exploited , yes that's how I feel.
Thank you for telling me it's understandable to feel conflicted. I feel a little better about it..
I remember what it was like before I met him. All I wanted was to find someone . I hate being alone. Don't have many friends. And definitely not after being with him. I actually may of lost some...
Honestly I don't think he ever loved me. He just thinks he does. Once he sees he can't control me and his manipulation isn't working.... He will move on... I can see it already... Hurts... Whether I'm surprised or not. Which I'm not...
Apart of me just wants to forget everything.and go back to his arms so we can both be happy and secure again.
I wish I had a cool group of friends. That would help SOOOO much. It sucks being alone all the time. Even if I know in my heart I'm doing the right thing... I just hope it gets better... But idk ... I guess my head is more clear then it was 3 years ago.. so it should be better then it was the last time I was alone.
It sure is nice to have someone though isn't it?..even if it is crap. I guess.... Idk...

Society puts alot of pressure on people to couple up, I saw many friends carry on in bad relationships due to this and it never improved things.

Being alone is often difficult but is very liberating too, confidence and self esteem are important here and when you've taken knocks in a bad relationship it takes some time to get this back but know that it will return and grow once you are removed from the source of hurt and damage.

Free from the compromises of a relationship you are at liberty to do as you please, this presents opportunities to develop other areas of life which are rewarding to you... out of this, friends often appear and sometimes partners too.
 
you are right .. And I have a decent job so most of my time will be spent working now. I just got back today after a pulled muscle in my foot and being out for two weeks. So I won't be sitting around all the time alone. This will make a big difference. And when I save up enough for a car maybe I can get out and meet people... There will be more opportunities... you are right. I am alot different now then I was 3 years ago too. I sure didn't have a job back then..
 
dysfunctional mess.

you need to meet someone who is not a lazy drug addict living at grandma's

fuck me! this on paper does not sound like a catch so why you still wasting your life...?

you have a job, go live at your mum's save up and move out into a shared house with other people. then you are free to meet someone who isn't a controlling loser
 
^ thank you , ya , I guess that's what I'm gonna do. I blocked his calls and stuff..
 
He kept calling and hanging up.
I'm mean who does that! I felt like he was trying to track me or something
 
Just breathe and relax. You did the right thing. I always tell my friends, breaking up is the easy part, it's staying broken up that's hard. You're gonna miss him.. but it's just toxic. You need to work on you and become stronger and more independent for yourself right now.
 
exactly- it takes time to remove the strings and entrenched patterns of behaviour

once you haven't seen them for a long time it puts a whole different persepctive on things. the physical attraction is no longer clouding you and you can see how they treat you in a colder more realistic light
