Just want to vent about my first failed relationship
I (19f) broke up with my boyfriend (20m) after 8 months of dating
It’s started out really good. I loved hanging out with him and being with him, but towards the relationship, he was always getting mad at me for me wanting my alone time or not wanting to text them all the time or wanting to hang out with my family without him. And whenever he got mad, he also got really sad and made me feel bad about myself. It made me feel like the bad person when all I wanted was just time to myself.
And it turned me into a different person. More closed off and timid because it made me scared to really tell him how I was feeling cause I thought he would get mad at me and would tell me I didn’t love him enough or that I was selfish for not wanting to hang out with him or text him
And he was so emotional that he would cry all the time and I don’t even know why he would and for some reason whenever I went out to do something by myself, he would always think I was talking to a different man and when I went to school, he’d always want me to FaceTime him while I was walking through the college that I went to, because he thought I was gonna talk to guys and he also didn’t like my sister‘s boyfriend because he was a guy and I talked to him when he was around and he would feel insecure about so many things like if I was in a room full of people and if I talk to other people and not him, he would think I didn’t like him as much or something like that. It was so weird.
And if I would want to cancel plans to do something with my family, he would get pissed and make me feel bad and I would end up not doing that thing with my family or if I did do that thing with my family, he be texting me and telling me that I’m selfish
And sometimes when I was out doing stuff and he couldn’t call me because he was at work, he would make me take pictures of my surroundings to make sure there is no one else there
And whenever I had conversations with people, he would make me recount the entire conversation word by word because he wanted to know what we talked about and he would make me recount my days from when I woke up to when I saw him next and if I left something out, he would get mad because he was like why didn’t you tell me that?
And he would go through my pictures he would go through my liked TikTok’s. He would go through my texts that I had with people. And when I told him I didn’t like when he went through my phone he was like are you hiding something then? Because why else would you say that you don’t want me to go through your phone?
Overall, I just got annoyed so much and I told him that all that annoyed me, but he didn’t change
And I really did think he loved me, but he loved me too much that he was pushing me away, and he was obsessed in a way that I didn’t need
And otherwise, from that he was a great boyfriend he loved doing stuff with me. doing stuff with my family. He liked buying me stuff. He loved taking me out on dates, but it just got way too much and he started to get mad a lot and do all that stuff.
