Please, I need relationship advice, no answers last time. Help break my bf's cycle of emotional abuse, for us?
I give him credit to realize that he has a problem; that's the first step in resolving an issue. BUT the next step is the most important: seeking help. He sounds like he is emotionally broken down and doesn't really know the feeling of being loved. He is acting upon what he knows from childhood. If he knows he has a problem and wants to overcome it, he needs to seek "professional" help. If he doesn't deal with the pain and hurt from his past, then he's gonna be stuck there. Saying he's gonna get help and doing are two different things. My sister and mother have both been with abusive men; my mom actually married one. My brother has abusive tendencies. But your relationship isn't going to work out if he doesn't actually get help and decide to change. My mother was with a man that was physically and emotionally abusive. He kept saying over and over and over that he was gonna change. But he never did. Once she finally got the nerve to leave him, he sought help and got his life together. I can't tell you whether it's best to leave him. He may need your emotional support through it all; but sometimes that's what it takes to motivate to seek help. But if you just sit there and let him be abusive, it's only gonna get worse. So in all's end, if he refuses to get help; then it's time for you to move on. If he truly loves you and wants you to be apart of his life, he'll do what it takes to keep you in his life.
