is this verbal abuse, or am I over reacting?

Question

Im friends with this guy. He used to be great, I really thought I loved him. Lately, I dont know whats going on but its like he's trying to push me away. He still says he likes me but he sure doesnt show it.

We used to joke around and call each other names but we knew we were kidding. Now he hardly talks at all when we're on the phone unless he's calling me a b*tch or a wh*re, or something like that. I told him its bothering me and he just gets pissed and blows me off. he brags that I'm the only one he's this mean to, he thinks its funny.

I've been getting offended by his actions so now he's telling all his friends that I'm a crazy ***** because I dont love being treated like crap by him.

I keep trying to talk to him about it but he just blows me off. Every time Im done talking to him, I feel so empty and useless...Yet, he still says he wants to be with me..How do I even handle this situation?

Answer 1

Dump him. Any male who continually calls a young lady names he calls you does not deserve your friendship. He is immature and ought to grow up before he attempts to get friendly with another girl.

Good men do not do this type of thing. They respect their girlfriends (platonic or otherwise) and respect women in general.

Find a good man who treats you like a queen.
