How would this make you guys feel?
When i was pregnant 2 years ago my bd would say things like “your a catfish” and follow it up with “i’m joking”. There’s been time where he’s known i had on makeup and would consciously try to wipe my face or grab my face. He always would say i look better without makeup so i stopped wearing it for like 2 years unless it was a special occasion. At the school i go to an older woman told me to keep getting pretty for myself, she told me i was already pretty the makeup just enhances my beauty and she told me to get back to making myself feel good so the past few days i been wearing makeup again & he’s been calling me a catfish again. So today i’m trying to put my shoes on so we can leave and he’s trying to touch my chin area & i said “bro that’s such hater behavior you know i have makeup on why are you trying to wipe it off” he’s like “i’m just trying to grab your chin” and i’m like “stop” and he said “How am i hating i don’t need makeup, You do cause you’re a catfish” and honestly my jaw dropped and he grabbed me and was like “im just joking i’m just joking come here” and i’m like “bro you always say this when i wear makeup like wtf” I just feel like he will do anything to see my confidence go down whether it’s with a “joke” or not i just feel really disrespected at this point and it just seems like anything i do i get made fun of by him for it and i don’t like it, i ask him all the time to not joke with me because he always takes it too far an ends up hurting my feelings but he still does it. What would you guys do in this situation or what do you think i should do?
Leave him, you put down a boundary he is not respecting it, that joke is not really a joke that's a form of emotional abuse to make you feel lesser than and to give him the control, I'm sure there's other things that you can point out if you look up what emotional abusers do and see that maybe he fit some of those criterias, I would leave, my husband started off that way as well and things only progress to worse and worse and worse and worse and worse and I'm stuck with an emotional abusive, emotionally unstable mentally unstable person until I have the financial means to leave, he's not respecting you and making you feel less when they should be a safe place and making you feel like a million dollars
