I have trusted the man I have come to cohabited with. Until yesterday. I have known this man for 12 years and he turns 30 on Monday. So I ask why does he get hysterical and pout like a 16 year old girl when I try to have an adult conversation with him? And why does he seem to be terrified of being out of a relationship? I don't mind being with a man when he loves me, and I do love him. I have loved him for some time, I want him to be happy, health, and competent. But whenever I try to talk to him about my issues with the death of my mother, and how it has made me think that I might have should have waited a year to see anyone or move anywhere or take on school again he panics. I am not saying I wish to leave him I'm saying perhaps we rushed but now that we have rushed let us take things slow and easy. But all he hears is me walking out which is not what I'm saying. Then comes the hysterics "i can't live by myself," "I can't cook," "I'm gonna weigh 300lbs without you." I'm not his mother, I'm not his nanny, I'm not his care giver, I'm his girlfriend, I'm supposed to be his partner, not made, cook, dietitian. And the more hysterical he says these things the more I fear that it's not me he is in love with, it's being taken care of. Had this relationship not been him, had he not been someone I had known for 12 years I would not be living with him after only being in a relationship for three months. But apparently that is not abnormal for him, he moves in with the girls he sees, he lived at home, and then he lived with his now ex wife, then he lived at home, and after two months with his last girlfriend he moved in with her. He talks about the incompetency of others and yet he can't find the strength or a courage to stand alone, be just him. And I'm not going to say I am any better. I have not lived completely solo. I have always had help. And my last boyfriend told me that I should consider living on my own to which I replied I am not that dependant that I need to do that. However I see in my current love what my ex must have seen in a little in me. He can not comprehend how to function on his own. He can pay his bills, find work, find places to live, but when it comes to everyday household things like cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry, he believes himself to be inept and incapable of learning. Do I have to be his mom to be his girlfriend?
And then last night he verbally attacks me for confiding in my family and seeking help with my decision making lately. Screams at me to stop talking to everyone and saying that we have problems. I told him who I'd spoken to and what was said, then he asks me to swear on our relationship that that was all the people I talked to and to what I could remember it was. At which point her turns around logs on to MY FACEBOOK opens MY MESSAGES and points at a message to a friend I hadn't spoken to since my mom died. I had forgotten all about the message because it was someone I speak to about once or twice every few years. He storms out to work. At which point I realize he had just used my password and logged into my private things. At which point I am nothing more than pissed. He texts me that he wasn't checking on me, he just felt I wasn't telling him everything, and he's sorry. He violated my privacy and my trust in him.
