How do I explain how I feel so we can stop fighting so much?

Question

I am feeling really down lately and I can't figure out why. I am pregnant with my 2nd child, have been with my current boyfriend for a little over 6 months. It seems that nothing I do is ever good enough for him and I'm always wrong in the things I do or say. We fight over EVERYTHING. I will try to say something to him and he will immediately start getting mad and yelling, so then I get quite, because I don't want to be yelled at, then he gets even more mad because I'm not saying anything! When I don't talk about how I'm feeling, or try to explain that I really don't know why I'm feeling so down lately, he gets mad, but when I try to talk about it, he gets mad also.. it seems I can't win. He always brings up the fact that he is helping support me and my daughter from a previous relationship, and tells me if I don't like the way things are than I can leave. When I say maybe we need time apart, he threatens to take me to court for custody of our child when its born, etc..Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You have become dependent on an emotional abuser who is holding you hostage because you want to talk about things he doesn't want to deal with. This is what happens when you have babies with men who you barely know and you know nothing about. Is that what you want your children to believe is the way men and women relate to each other? If its not your place, pack up and move you and your daughter to a safe place. Don't have anything to do with him other than the child support he is responsible for. Let him take you to court, its unlikely that a judge will take a baby away from a mother and frankly, he's blowing hot air and you should know that by now.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and have a tubal when you have this next baby. You don't have enough common sense to know not to get pregnant, and obviously you don't have enough self esteem or self respect to not pick men who are abusive and treat you like a doormat. Not having more kids would be the best thing you could do for the ones you have. Now pick yourself up and get going with being a grown up.
