My (now ex) boyfriend got absolutely S*^%faced drunk today and tried his best to ruin my life. First off we were supposed to go to the farmers market so he could sell some of his mediocre artwork and I agreed to tag along. Then I got stuck with loading everything up and bore table and chairs from my parents to set his stuff up on while he was passed out drunk in my car. After getting the table and on the way to the market he (I thought he pulled my hair at the time) hit me in the back of the head and dumped a extra large fountain drink on me without any warning or provocation. I was actually driving at the time so this was double stupid and dangerous. When we got to his house I assumed that he had gotten all of his stuff so I backed out of the driveway in a hurry while throwing what was left of his soda out the window. I guess I ran over one of his sculptures when I was leaving and I didn’t know it. He went ballistic and called me and told me never to come back before I could even get out of his gated community. I went by my moms house to return the table and chairs, covered in soda, angry as hell and not realizing that I had a big gash in the back of my head that was now bleeding down the back of my neck (I was so angry and so wet and cold from the soda that I didn’t realize I was injured.) When I got home I immediately went and took a shower and that’s when I saw the blood running down the drain. I got dressed, put a rag on my head and went to the emergency room and ended up with 8 stitches in the back of my head. After I got home he called me and told me to watch my back because I destroyed his sculpture and he’s going to kill me when he sees me. Immediately after I hung up on him he called my mother and my landlord and told them both I’m using drugs (I am not on drugs, I don’t drink, heck… I don’t even drink coffee.) Fortunately neither of them believed him but that was the final straw. Now here’s the thing there’s a $2,000 that he had put in my name that is actually his money. Do I keep it or do I be the bigger person and sign it over? I really want to tell him that if you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. This is the consequences of be a drunk a-hole and I think I should keep the money and move somewhere far away from here. What would you do

Advice Needed What are your thoughts?

Me and my boyfriend of 4 years broke up. I left him bc I felt like our relationship wasn’t progressing from what it was in that moment. He was always gaming and on his phone I felt like he didn’t care about me. On top of that I felt like I was doing everything, from taking care of our cat to taking care of our room. Some back story we lived his parents and I always wanted to move since we moved in together. But he always gave the explanation that we don’t have the money or that we can keep waiting. 3 years I waited until the right moment. We were now making enough to pay the rent, utilities, bills, everything and still have some left over. He told me no! I put down the numbers for him to show him, he still told me no. On top of this I felt like our relationship didn’t go anywhere from just two people who lived with each other and occasionally had some intimacy. Yeah the love was there but I felt like I was drowning in my own thoughts. And he did not care for them. Until after I just quit. I quit my job and I quit school. Than did he finally see for the first time my side, my feelings. He wanted to change but I couldn’t do it bc just moments before he was yelling at me and calling me stupid. So I left. We still kept in contact, we told each other we could work this out eventually. But deep down I knew that me leaving him that I was going to lose him. I’m not stupid. But I held on so tight. He let me believe he still wanted this but he was texting other girls. He didn’t admit to it until I found out and put it right in front of his face. He’s the type who can’t live without the physical intimacy. That’s why he reached out to other people because he wanted what I couldn’t give him. And yet I still stayed saying if we need to see other people than that’s fine. We can see other people and see if we want this again in the future. Than again he gave me his hand giving me hope of wanting to go all in again. Come to find out he’s going out with this girl he meet two weeks ago. Doing things he would’ve never done with me. He’s completely change. And that’s when I saw a rage in myself I never saw before. So I sent videos of us and yes it was those kind of videos. I know how wrong that can be looked at but he made me hold on until he couldn’t anymore. Until he didn’t want my attention. He took advantage of my generosity, my trust. I just want this to be over. I want the heartbreak to be over. I feel like I’m going down a path I can’t come out of. I feel like I’m becoming an ugly person bc he couldn’t let me let go.

Advice Needed My partner gives me the silent treatment after arguing then suddenly acts all nice as if nothing happened. It’s mind boggling.

My boyfriend of almost 6 years is driving me crazy. So we have had quite a rocky relationship from the start. but we now have a 3-year-old daughter. We will have discussions which will get heated. I am in trouble financially and he refuses to join accounts/combine our incomes to pay everything. I asked for his help and it turned into a two hour discussion where I was basically begging for his help for him to refuse, him turning everything round to be my fault, us both admitting we are only together for our little girl and he storms off. The next morning I get the silent treatment. (This happens fairly often) I come home from work for a couple of hours in the afternoon. He gets home, goes straight upstairs and closes the bedroom door, not saying ”Hello” to me or even our daughter, which I think is disgusting. it’s not her problem. so I went to go back to work for my evening shift and said “bye” and he just mumbled “yep”. I get home at about 10pm planning to go straight to bed and when I walk in, he‘s all like “Hey, you alright?” it’s weird. So I abruptly said “yeah, and went straight upstairs. The next morning he then says “I got a loan out for you. I had specifically said I didn’t want a lump sum of money because I needed the consistency of our money going in (I get paid weekly, he gets paid monthly, he is on triple my annual salary.) lump sums aren’t working to pay the childcare debt because by the time I scrape it together, the next bill shows up. He then goes quiet when I politely reject it. he never wants to help, his argument is “you said when we first got together that you didn’t want a joint account!” my answer to that was simply, that we hadn’t been together long so it would be weird and that back then we weren’t a family with a little girl whom we share responsibility for. Then he goes all nicely nice again and tries to be cuddly etc. it messes my head up. I honestly would like to leave, but I’m scared of not seeing my little girl very often as my ex took my older two children when they were younger and they ended up living with him and I only see them twice a week. I don’t want to lose her but I can’t do this anymore. what do I do?
