Hi, I've been currently dating someone for almost 6 months. It started fine because we used to go out and have activities like hiking, shopping, sightseeing locally, etc. When the fall started, things began to change. We would stay inside more and I started working. With this transition, my partner has become incredibly demanding. I have a very social job (childcare) and need more time outside of work to myself. He's also been extremely demanding with me completing his domestic chores and tasks around his house. I've tried saying it for weeks and a few months in a direct way and eventually, I snapped a few days ago. I left town and I considered breaking up with him because there was a blatant disrespect for my boundaries. He makes comments that have made me cry and doesn't care. He compares me to a whore all the time. He gets angry when I do not want to have sex. He once went on a rant after I told him off because he kept spam-calling me while I was asleep saying that I am "just a woman". I haven't had time for my family or friends or personal issues. I am a woman of Catholic faith and he has tried to weaponize my faith against me by saying that I am sick because of spiritual warfare and that I am pulling away from him because of demons. He has been speaking to me similar to the style of biblical Jesus and I've started to worry about his mental state and my safety. He just came to my house unprompted after I told him I was still sick. I was in the shower and I have been avoiding his messages since he is so demanding of my time even though I have had a fever and needed to rest. I don't know what to do. Unfortunately, today is his birthday, but I am sick. I understand that avoiding him on his birthday is rude, but he always expects me to call him when I take a sick day since I am away from work. It takes me avoiding him to somewhat respect my boundaries and even then he showed up at my place when I didn’t respond. Please give me advice on what I should do.
Going to have to break up with my boyfriend? What do I do?
