My boyfriend of 3 years tries to tell me what to do, and where I can and can't go. He threatens to break up and tells me I'm his "bitch". I stay with him because I love him but I dont want to keep going on this way. What should I do?

Break up with him. No one deserves to be called those belittling, degrading names.

If necessary, then the seek the help of a local women's shelter. These can be found in the Yellow Pages of your local phonebook, just look under "women's shelters."

If he threatens you, then when you're in a safe, PUBLIC place, then call the police and file charges against him.

I hope this helps & good luck with your relationship because anyone who's belitting and degrading you and/or is controlling you, has serious anger management problems & self-esteem issues.

Bottom line: Get out of the relationship and find someone else because NOT all men act this way and you deserve much better!

Good luck!

I agree. Being I was an abused wife.. verbal, emotional, and physical it is all bad. If is only verbal at this point, one day and you can mark my words.. one day it will BECOME physical.
