I recently left someone who I was in a long term relationship with. The reasons why are the following.
He repeatedly excluded me from social situations. This deliberate exclusion made me feel left out, un wanted, embarassed (because I would frequently see people who were present, and they would ask me why I'm never there), humiliated and really sad.
The situation lead to alot of lying by omission on his part, and alot of hostile behavior on my part.
He was aware of my feelings, and chose not to change this behavior.
Several times during the course of our relationship, I got so fustrated and angry at being excluded that I reacted in an EXTREMELY aggressive and distructive manner. I have thrown things, destroyed clothing, screamed, yelled, made repeated threatening phone calls, and embarassed both him and myself in public.
I no longer want to have those feelings, so I left after the last outburst. Should I forgive myself? Has anyone else had similar reactions?
