I love my boyfriend dearly. He is such a wonderful boyfriend always doing really sweet and romantic things for me, he always has my best interests at heart. He supports me in my efforts to becoming a comic artist and is always finding new ways to help get me in the direction I need to go to get there.
However there is a side of him that is starting to surface that I am just now seeing. He hits me a lot playfully and since he is a guy of course he may not be aware of his strength. But I will tell him that it hurt what he did and he apologizes and say that he never means to hurt me. But he will do it again some time later on, I would at times tell him he's a bully because he hits me really hard some times. He got really upset and would say he never wants to hurt me. He bit me one time, but playfully, but it really hurt. He knew this because I actually cried out in pain. He laughed and asked me not to be angry with him for doing it.
He at times pressures me into having sex with him as well. He asks me if I'm into these strange sexual activities and when I say no he just says he was joking about the whole thing. He tries to pressure me to do things that I wouldn't like to do. For instance he literally backed me into a wall and made me agree to trying eel just for HIM. Even though I specifically told him I didn't want to try it because it reminds of me snakes which I don't like.
He TELLS me things to do, he doesn't ask. Which is really starting to annoy me. He is extremely jealous and will get very angry if I look at another guy. He doesn't want me to have any male friends.
He even told me just a few days ago that he is jealous of me! He feels that he is inferior to me because I am really good at artistic and creative things.
I want to know are these signs of an abusive relationship?
Also he was abused as a child, and he has a very bad temper.
