Broken up was it the right choice?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend sometimes when he has anger problems he talks about oh “ i don’t need anyone.. I been betrayed in my old relationships and by people in my life when i was single i had more freedom and i dont need anyone” it hurts man… I decided to walk away because he doesn't think of my feelings when he says crap like that i dont need that and im broken and hurt… i decided to block his number i dont need to talk to anyone who acts like that… I understand your broken and you have a lot of people who hurt you but dont push that on someone else you shouldn’t hurt somebody else because of what someone else did to you

He sounds immature and guilt trips whenever there’s an issue instead of addressing problems correctly so you can solve the problems. This is manipulative and he seems like he needs therapy if old relationship problems are weighing down on him. Time to let go

It sounds like breaking up was probably the right call here. I know it still hurts, but you gotta do what's best for your mental health, you know?

Someone who keeps talking about not needing anyone and how much better off they were single, that mess is just gonna chip away at your self-esteem over time. You deserve to be with someone who's genuinely excited to be with YOU and make you a priority, not someone still hung up on past relationships.

It ain't cool that he'd spill all that anger out on you just because other people hurt him before. That ain't your fault. You can be understanding of his issues to a point, but he also needs to take accountability for how his words/actions affect you now.

Cutting contact was smart too. Gives you clean space to heal without being pulled back in when he's in one of those moods. Best thing to do now is focus on yourself and surround yourself with real friends who lift you up, ya feel me?

Keep your head high. Way I see it, you dodged a bullet here. Your happiness matters most - you'll find someone who treats you right.
