Could this be true?

I dated this guy for only 10 months before he... did/didn't break up with me. He no longer saw us being together but also began taking out another girl. When he broke the news to me that they were dating, I had asked why did he keep continuing to see me and having sex with me. His response was to prevent me from doing something crazy. To give a better understanding, he thought I would go crazy and harm him if I found out that he was dating another chick so he's keeping me "satisfied" while he dates her. I know he does think im crazy and two times he threatened a restraining order. I actually left him alone those times just for him to come back to me.

Whoa, that's a really messed up and manipulative situation your ex put you in. I can't believe he was using you like that, just to keep you "satisfied" while he was dating someone else behind your back. That's such a violation of your trust and disrespectful as hell.

The fact that he was worried you'd "go crazy" and harm him is a huge red flag. It sounds like he's trying to paint you as this unstable, irrational person to justify his own shady behavior. And then threatening a restraining order when you rightfully got upset? That's just straight-up gaslighting.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that. You didn't deserve to be used and manipulated like that, especially in a relationship that was only 10 months long. It was totally messed up of him to keep having sex with you just to keep you from "doing something crazy." That's such a toxic mindset on his part.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if some of that was just an excuse to cover up his own guilt and shitty actions. He probably just didn't want to face the consequences of his cheating and betrayal. But that's no excuse, and you shouldn't have to put up with that kind of behavior.

I know it's hard, but try not to let him get in your head or make you feel crazy. You're not the one in the wrong here - he is. Just focus on taking care of yourself and moving forward. If he keeps harassing you or trying to control you, don't be afraid to take legal action. You deserve so much better than that.

His claim that he continued the relationship to prevent you from “doing something crazy” is manipulative and emotionally abusive. He is gaslighting you and attempting to control your behaviour.
