So I basically told him that I knew what he meant and that he wasn't being rude or snide with his comment, I said that I'm not mad or upset with him or anything but that information did catch me off guard and kinda hurt. I explained that it hurt because even after all this time I still can't get far enough away from what happened. He was completely understanding and apologetic. We have been fine since then but my brain is just annoying. I have not been treating him any different and unlike people on here who haven't faced true emotional abuse I've made it a point to have open communication and time together! Thank you!!

Faulted I suppose is a bad way to say it, it was just kinda how I wrote it. But yes! He is trying his best and I'm not mad at him at all. Things have been completely normal between us but I just keep thinking about it. I never want him to feel bad about telling me the truth so it's more of my internal thoughts just bugging me! Thank you!

Thank you so much. That is the best way I've seen it put into words, I've tried to go to a couple therapists in the past but I haven't felt comfortable with them and my family said I was being too picky. I know I'm extremely lucky to have the option in the first place but I don't want to waste my family's money if it wasn't helping me. Thank you so much and I'm sorry for what you went through. <3

So my ex was three years older than me at the time. I tried to take legal action but the authorities in my area (a small town) are family friends with the police and they refused to listen to me and outright ignored all my physical injuries and pictures and texts of proof. My family already didn't support me going to the police so after that attempt they said that I couldn't anymore. My ex later moved out of state so I'm not sure where he ended up. Thank you though!!

I'm not treating him any differently aside from not showering with him. I'm not taking any emotions out on him it was moreso his words catching me off guard like I explained. I am not punishing him I'm just saying I didn't know how to get it to stop bothering me. Please read a little more before assuming I'm being emotionally abusive to my boyfriend. Thank you
