I'm sorry you are in pain dear, I remember it well. When my ex picked up his stuff one of the things he said was "for what it's worth, I'm sorry". I remember turning sharply away and saying NO, you don't get to be a nice guy here, and I went out back to cry. The #1 thing I got from Al-Anon during that time was the strength to keep him away unless he met certain conditions. The slogan - Nothing changes if nothing changes ran through my head whenever he tried to appeal to my emotions. He only barely tried the conditions and as time away from him went on, I gained strength and perspective. I knew that I could not go back to the way it had been - the screaming fights, the accusations, the chaos - it HAD to change; and it did change because I changed what I could - me.

I'm sorry you are hurting Looking up, can you get to a meeting anytime soon? In the meantime I am sending you enveloping hugs and soothing prayers. This too shall pass.
It does not sound as if your boyfriend has treated you at all well, and even in this conversation it sounds like he was taunting you. I must admit that I felt relieved when I saw the title of your post because although it dents our pride if the other party says they are leaving, you have not had to deal with the fear of his responses or any feelings of guilt. Its OK to cry and I'm sure you are probably thinking of the good things that you miss, but you've also described some really horrible things as well. Walk tall when you unfurl, you've survived a lot of mistreatment and you deserve so much better lovely lady. ((((((Hugs))))))) Your HP will look after you. Stay strong and when those tears have dried, maybe think about something lovely that you can do for yourself - there is so much more ahead of you.
Lu I am sorry you are in such pain and suggest, as the others have done that you please take care of yourself. Check out a meeting, say the serenity prayer, and take care of you.
I checked on the link you posted and am concerned that posting his FB picture here might not be a good idea. .Anonymity is extremely important and although he is indeed handsome . I have deleted the link
He has gone and come back before and I would not be surprised if it happened again. People generally stay the way they are.
I wonder if it might be worth thinking about why you would miss a man who could do this kind of thing. What is there about him to miss? I mean it seriously. There is something you're missing that he has or seems to have. When you know what that thing is, maybe it will be possible to get it from someone who can do a healthy relationship.
hugs, hang on to us tight. my way of healing was facing the truth that the man I fell in love with all my life was dead. he is. I call myself a widow.
Do what you can for you. have good food around, good water, read good books. the farside always helps me. good funny movies. whatever i takes! meetings. in time take that neighbor cookies. a manfriend is nice too uno.
hugs honey
