I am writing because I pray all the time yet I dont have any people to talk to and I need actually responses. I broke my right leg January 27, 2013. I slipped on ice and haven't been able to work since then. Ive had surgury on it and now have metal in it to repair it, but I still cant work. Before this injury I would work everyday and come straight home. I was taking care of myself and my boyfriend. Every request he made was his. I can't say that it has gone both ways because it hasn't. Every time he asked fire anything I gave it to him. if it was money he would promise to give it back or more back, he never actually did though. Every time he ever had money I never saw any of it except for when he was spending the last of his money on bad things. I used to drink with him and I stopped doing anything of the sort. He would get really crazy when he drank. Half the time I would act like I was drinking too just to pour out the alcohol in efforts to end the night. He tells me what to do and I obey. I dont question him because then im an annoyance. Since I met him he told me we were going to get married. When I met him he wasn't always this way. I fell in love with an incredible man. He was loving and seemed like this dream come true. I havent drank or done anything bad ive repented and asked for all my sins to be forgiven. He is also doing the same.i can get around but temporarily limited to crutches getting me places. I think he is ashamed to take me plaves with him because he attends this chirch.or Bible sessions and I dont know where he just says he went to bible study or church. He won't tell any person about me from church and yet my life is open to every one I know. I grew up being religious and was taught not to lie but I wasnt directed on the path I should go on for many years because my father did not enforce the Bible into my head as a child but I truly regret never reading it or seeking understanding sooner. I have faith in the lord make no mistake. Nothing will ever change that now. I feel like im at a loss right now because I am so in love with this man but I am never allowed to say how I feel about anything he doesnt want to hear it. I want to be hugged or held sometimes but hes not the type to even give me that. I feel like I have no onei never leave my apt because I dont own a car. Right now he keeps borrowing ppls vehicles but he wint take me every where with him and tells me its none of my business he dont have to tell me everything. I dont talk to ppl because I never leave this housei cant pay my bills only because im not working. He said he was going to work and take care of it since I cant. I want to cry so bad because theres so much I want to say. he just told me he told someone about me finally but part of me doesn't believe him. I just want to be married to a Christian man who is loving. I dont want to be with a liar. I dont want an unfaithful or controlling man. I don't get it. He puts me down all the time saying when ive lost 100lbs then he we marry me. Or he will say im fat or call me a sinner. When I havent done anything at all. Ive already repented amd asked forgiveness. He never tells me im beautiful and if im crying because he hurt my feelings he just starts saying hes tired of me. before this injury I worked every day I cooked everyday I did his laundry I picked upafter him. Laid his clothes out. I payed all the bills n posted for everything he needed or wanted. And I hear him saying "she cant cook, she aint working, cant do anything for her man why would I want that " as if im not already feeling worthless enough he always makes me feel like absolutely nothing. I feel like im ugly n im fat n I dont have friends cuz hes so Insecure. If he knew I was writing this he would be angry. Ive even been out in public and some people have walked up to him and told him they didnt like how he spoke to me and he got mad saying I must like the attention even though I always stand with my head down in public with him. I dont talk. He doesnt even like me talkin to people when a random person says hi. He said he hates that about me. I am hoping I dont get any more comment s to hurt me posting thisi just don't have no one to talk to so im hoping for decent words. I dint sleep much so im usually awake this late

I hate to say this, but he is not acting like he loves you. Maybe God is giving you a chance to rethink if you really are supposed to marry this guy? The leg will heal. Your relationship won't heal, unless the two of you can work out how you feel, and what he is going to do about it. If it was me, I'd get my strength back, and then confront the guy, but be prepared to move out and find someone else. It would be very hard to spend a lifetime trying to love someone who does not act like he loves you back.

I'm so sorry sister that you struggling through this! This person is not a nice person...definitely not husband material. Is there a relative you can live with while you get back on your feet? If the man is violent it might be best to go to a woman's shelter for awhile.

You may think that you can't live without him but there is really only one that we can't live without and that is Jesus Christ. I'm so happy for you that you're leaning on Him right now. Deepen your relationship with Christ and stay in the Word...you will find the guidance you need. This man will probably get angry about this because it sounds like he thinks everything should center around him...and that you're his property. You really need to get away from him and find your own life....a life with Christ at the center, not some maniac.

Praying for you...healing, strength, guidance, and for other Christians to come into your life to show you the way. You are immensely loved; never forget that :).

Thank you for responding to my forum. I had a feeling love wasnt being expressed by him. It hurts so much because I love him so much and my heart is his. Even though he treats me how he does I dont hate him or feel those emotions at all towards him. I keep hoping things are going to get better. He admitted in his last marriage he was unfaithful and I want a faithful man. I wonder if hes cheating ive felt those emotions before though like hes left earlier to "work" to be with another woman or hes been taking another woman out or something like that. I can not be sure I just know those feelings I feel because of things he does that arent normal or changes iut of the normal. Today he left super early and I felt like something wasnt right. I felt like he want really goin there. Idk he said he wud be home early but got home at 10 at night but left at 5 am. Then he got home n didnt even eat said he wasnt hungry. I told him its probly because u ate already. He smirked n said no just not hungry . I just know him way more than that. He cant go that long without food n not eat when he gets here. Hes gaining weight too n I said well eating with someone else n then eatin with me too will get u fat. He said no im not doin that but im not dumb. Ive been with him almost a year and he eats 3 meals. But in three days hes eaten do little basically nothing just takes a bite. But today he mentioned gttn married to me this year. But I said idk I cant marry someone who will b unfaithful n he just saidim not perfect.

I agree with BarlyGurl. The more you tell us, the less likely it sounds that you should want to give your life to this guy.

at the risk of sounding obnoxious WHY ARE YOU STILL WITH THIS GUY!? you're posting cause you're OBVIOUSLY not satisfied with him. and you shouldn't have ANYONE less then someone who feels like they're are lucky to have you! My ex boyfriend wasn't as bad as yours is and is till have to break it off. And let me tell you the ONLY reason you're still with him is because HES making you feel like you won't be able to get another guy. But being ALONE is better then being stuck with him!? is it not!? go home to your parents until you're able to work again. there are online jobs that you can do from home. operator jobs to make money until your leg heals. But its not worth staying in an abusive relationship like that. Hes not worth ANYTHING if he can't treat you like the princess you are. cause our dad is a KING and we deserve princes!

it hurts are first it may take a whole month to realize it. but once you open your eyes and see what you were in. you'll think to yourself "i never thought I'd be one of those girls who you hear about on the news or read about in books" I was a step away from letting my ex hit me for things I was "doing wrong". Hes not worth it. And I think this broken leg is showing you that.
