I met my boyfriend as a teen. We traveled together, went to concerts and plays & museums. He always said he couldn't see us apart. But, after 3 yrs, when I became pregnant, he tried to make me have an abortion. I didn't, & he began treating me cruely.
We are long-distance, now, bcI am in graduate school. When we are apart, he is verbally abusive. When we are together, he eases into acting like he enjoys being with me & our baby. But, as soon as we leave, he is back to treating me cruely &/or acting ambivalent toward us.
I think it is bc he is unemployed & can't provide for us. He also says he resents me for having the baby and getting pregnant because he never wanted to have children. But, the baby is here, now. We can't go back, so why won't he accept his responsibility?
We are both college-educated and from 2-parent homes. He lacks that thug mentality, and we were always faithful. We don't fit any of the broken black home stereotypes. So, how did this happen?
