❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO for finally blocking the guy I’ve been dating on and off for almost 3 years

I 26F have been on and off with this guy 28M for almost 3 years. I really do love him but he’s just awful to me… spent 5 days with me, went home and suddenly got a text that’s in the first screenshot. I had no idea how to respond to it because these things have happened so many times in those three years. He gets pissed for some reason, tries to provoke me and absolutely wears me down with his words. I love him but I’m just so tired of the verbal beat-downs.

So I guess, AIO by blocking him?

Yes, playing games with you, against you . Be done . You will feel such relief after it’s done . Stay strong .

u/mango_proof_ 24m ago

Quite interesting that the post is "should I have blocked him" when he already said she's fat and ugly and doesn't wanna be with her. Oh and use cats against him. Plenty of good guys looking fir a decent woman why chase a man who hates you

Yea wth how did it escalate so fast after he said HE needed to lose weight???

u/Few_Arugula5903 47m ago

He wanted her to say "nooooooo you're in GEEAT SHAPE and I don't think you need to do any of that alone. Please don't break up with meeeee". It's childish bullshit games that my first serious bf did when we were 16. He was feeling shitty, was fishing for her to fight to stay with him, she didn't put up that fight, so he attempted to make her feel shitty about herself because he feels shit about himself.

u/ResidentPlastic5363 47m ago

She was supposed to say, “no, you’re so hot, I’m the one who needs to lose weight, if only I had your big ——“, but unfortunately for him she “didn’t know what was good for her”. Lucky this is over the phone because I bet he already told her once. 🙄

It’s like all abusive men are actually the same man.

u/I_Dont_Know_82 19m ago

I took it as he was telling her SHE needed to lose weight because he said "seeing you made me realize" (he was trying to throw in a subtle jab at her by saying he needed to lose weight but he only realized this after seeing her??). Then when he gets mad he tells her she's fat, etc. OP, NOR I can't believe you wasted part of 3 years. Please keep him blocked

u/stink3rb3lle 6h ago

maybe. He may also be quite consciously acting out in order to keep the upper hand over OP.

u/fatstonerbitch 5h ago

Anyone who thinks behaving this way gives them any sort of upper hand at all in any situation, has a significant psychological problem.

u/stink3rb3lle 5h ago

You've really never seen someone successfully bully another person? You've never seen a workplace bully? It is not purely irrational to think that bullying works when someone has figured out how to do it and still maintain a good image around other people.

u/Alternative_Web6959 1h ago

You mean being narcissistic? The mask always falls. There’s nothing profound about being immature, selfish, manipulative and controlling. It’s classic “I don’t like me so I’m going to make you not like you. Then I’ll be good enough for you because you no longer have standards”.

Your replies aren’t really making sense imo.

u/Independent-Part-718 3h ago

They do make sense. This person is only saying that someone doesn't have to be mentally ill to act this way. At least, not psychotic, anyway. I get what you're saying, that something isn't right with people who do this. But the person you're talking to is saying that perfectly logical and sane people can and have behaved exactly like this. Try reading it all again, it makes sense.

u/bbratzie 8h ago

NTA

I don’t think he hates her, he clearly hates himself notice how he started off with the whole “seeing you this weekend really made me realize how I need to get in shape.” That’s how he really felt but when he didn’t get the response that he hoped for now she’s the one that needs to get in shape now it’s about her. Classic reflection.

u/nellycat32 7h ago

Oh I read that as the first get in shape comment was already negging. Like "I saw you and realized I need to get in shape". He wanted her to ask why and he would have said she put on weight and he doesn't want to. Just based on his general shittyness

u/chocolatethunderXO 1h ago

Yeah, he first says "I don't think we can be together" and follows it with him realizing he's out of shape. That was clearly a dig at op.

u/Fluffy_Dziner 8h ago

It’s not necessarily either/or - but what matters is that he clearly hates her.

u/eloccinrantulacurcoz 5h ago

I don't think it's necessarily OP that he hates....I think he hates HIMSELF and is projecting. Either one, is a whole master class in immaturity, that nobody needs. OP would definitely be better off without him.

u/kallehmina 8h ago

Yeah I see your perspective, I just think regardless of where his self-loathing and lack of self esteem come from, whether it’s internalised hatred of himself being projected onto her or not - his messages indicate that he hates her. You really only tell someone you wished they would die and go to hell if you have some sort of hatred for them, this is not a person OP should keep associating with

u/_intothev0id 7h ago

It’s deff both lol if you hate yourself you can’t really love anyone else and people like that need someone to break down and feed off of. Hope she leaves him blocked cause that’ll really drive him crazy 😂 leave him where he had her fucked up at. He can go find a new victim (not that I’m wishing that onto anyone) lol

u/Nursey_Nursey_33 6h ago

Probably his mother, some do a number on their sons! I know, I’m married to a Jekyll and Hyde. Please block him and never look back. Love yourself enough to know you deserve more.

honestly once you hit that point where you’re tired enough to block, it’s already been bad for way too long. on and off for 3 years is emotional whiplash. blocking is just self respect at this point, he can go be inconsistent with someone else

u/TreeFrogMomma 6h ago

Trauma bonding. My husband hasn't called me fat. But he's said some awful things to me. He's done some awful things. I'm exhausting myself every day focusing on that and making myself angry to keep myself from remembering the "good."

Because so many people say "ok, but at least he..." Or "oh, wow, he did this for you? Is he really bad, or are you ungrateful?"

Right now we're in a honeymoon phase. If I left right now he can argue "see! I did everything she asked! I changed for her and it wasn't enough!" 

Packing your son's lunch isn't change. Me having to ask you to spend time with him isn't change. That's your responsibility to begin with. 

Guys like him and her ex are really good at finding our vulnerabilities and playing off them. Go watch Lisa Sonni on YouTube. She does an amazing job explaining it. Or healing by the numbers.

You need to recognize you don’t love him, you just love. He is occupying the space of someone else that you could love who is actually worthy of it

You’re under-reacting, and what bothers me almost more than his abuse is that you are honoring this demon in such a way. Not because he isn’t the problem, but because until you stop repeating that, no one can help you

I had an ex like that. It wasn't a cat but other animals which I told him flat out when we started dating the animals came before him. Not too long before I ended things he said to me "you act like your animals mean more than I do" and I looked him dead in the eyes and said its because they do. For context, one of my animals was dying from cancer and he wanted me to come over just to watch him sleep or play games and then whine and bitch at me the whole time about something "I did" so why the hell would I sacrifice limited time for that 🤦

It is a problem that you have to ask us if you made the right decision in breaking up with someone that treats you like this. He spoke to you so violently.

Keep him blocked and keep of record of any contact from now on.

How can you love someone that talks to you like that? He certainly doesn’t love you, because you’d never say the things he said to someone you cared about.

Yeah so after I dated a covert narcissist I realized those whole “I don’t think I could be with you” type comments/conversations were indeed narcissistic discards! It’s discarding behavior from a narcissist. He’d always make me feel bad for being “defensive” and going “mhm, you do that then”, but when I’d reply it back in my head I realized he’s the one that always started it. This guy is a narcissist: discarding, panicking and getting angry because you seem okay with the discard and that threatens his ego, lashing out and calling names, repeat. It’s a classic darvo move. Darvo=deny, accuse, reverse victim & offender.

I got tired of being broken hearted every few days so I ended up not letting the ex come back and scored a really good guy that I met at work.

When your brain decides to remember the "good times" and you start asking yourself if you should unblock him or reach out, remember my comment answering that for you: absolutely never! If you do unblock him, and decide to take another round of disrespect, my advice The best response is no response. Blocking him will make him say terrible things because he's so used to being able to break you down with his words and he knows exactly which ones to say. My experience 😏 unbothered is the most effective response. 🙅🏻‍♀️ When he sends a wall of text, respond "I'm not reading any of that" and then literally don't acknowledge him at all. There's more .. you can send me a message if you want I just don't want you to end up with an essay of a comment. Put the ball back in your court. It clearly shows he doesn't affect you anymore. When he sends a wall of text, actually don't read them. He's going to reach a new low

NOR, im sorry you spent 3 years with this fuckin loser

u/WasACookqua 5h ago

How did you use the cats against him? Have you trained them to be your minions of darkness?

He sounds exhausting.

u/_llloser 1h ago

If you love someone that treats you that way.. I need you to learn to love yourself dude. You deserve to love yourself and there’s no time like the present. Never talk to them again or anyone who talks to you this way. Maybe take some time and be alone for awhile.

u/muddymar 1h ago

That last text from him is the last text you should ever see from him. Find someone that values and respects you. He does not. It’s obvious from the okie dokie that you have seen this behavior many times in the past and aren’t playing anymore. He won’t change. Don’t waste anymore time with this guy.

u/TropicalDragon78 1h ago

Anything good (which I doubt there's really much good about him) about this guy is offset by those vile comments he made about you. Good for you for blocking him. Never look back.

u/Dizzy_Effect4944 1h ago

NEVER unblock again, HE is everything wrong with this world. Hope your cats beat his ass!

u/Apprehensive_Suit773 1h ago

NOR. He goes back to you because you let him, and he treats you this way for almost 3 years because you let him. Blocking him was the only correct thing to do.

u/Alone2getherByMyself 59m ago

Learn to be happy alone over this kind of person

u/Electrical_Ad_9778 10m ago

Goor ridence. Expect more rage baiting messages if you do not block him.

u/Praire_Devil 10m ago

Girl, please tell me you’re only asking if you’re over reacting as a hypothetical question….please tell me you KNOW that you’re doing yourself the best favor ever by dropping 200lbs in an instant by blocking him everywhere

u/deluluenfpgirl 10h ago

NOR.

This guy is the perfect example of how d**leads responds to rejection. When you stopped letting him get in to your nerves, the will start using Ad hominem against you. Which is unhinged

u/ZeusUpYourAss 9h ago

NOR. At all. You need to never let a man talk to you like this. Also, I'm curious about how you use your "fat and cat" against him lol 😭. I'm imagining using cats as guns

Pepperoni and jalapeños :D

u/Pleasant-Ad4784 9h ago

C’mon…you know you aren’t overreacting by blocking him. This guy is a piece of shit and there is zero reason you should feel any love for him. He literally said he wishes you would die. Please, please move on from this abusive d*ckhead and do not look back.

u/randomname12475 9h ago

Yeah no leave him or stop talking to him at all. He genuinely does not give a crap about you if thats how he responds. Hes just upset that your finally waking up and hes loosing you and your not dealing with his shit anymore 🫩

u/queenafrodite 9h ago

Soooooo what do you love about a person that treats you like shit !!??!!! I’m curious. There’s nothing worth loving from a guy who talks to you like this.

Keep him blocked. NOR. And don’t ever again tolerate this shit.

u/natkat01 9h ago

The real question here is “use your cats against me”. Like what lol. This dude sucks and doesn’t give a fuck about you. Please move on from this douche.

u/nor_cal_woolgrower 9h ago

Yikes..nor

u/StatisticianFalse22 9h ago

Is he on meth?

u/onelove_ 9h ago

Girl we think you know the answer. Loving yourself means not tolerating this kind of abuse.

u/Mossidhe 9h ago

"lol thanks for validating my earlier decision. Good luck with all that."

u/regular_heptagon 9h ago

Why would you want to be with this dude?

u/SherrKhan32 9h ago

He's awful. Genuinely. Please don't ever take him back. And please be safe. He sounds a bit violent. 

u/Bro13847 9h ago

He seems toxic af. Good for you for cutting that cord. I would go ahead and burn the bridges too.

u/Crazy-Employer-8394 8h ago

The fact someone puts up with that even once is mind boggling, never mind 3 years

u/alexhatesthisman 8h ago

NOR he seems really mean and aggro

u/Prior-Tip-9713 8h ago

What a treat he is! I hope you keep him blocked and away from you. You deserve so much better.

u/makestuff24-7 8h ago

INFO: What about this conversation makes YOU think YOU overreacted?

u/Extension-Flight8040 8h ago

Get away ASAP from this asshole. He deserves to be blocked and exposed.

u/EchoAquarium 8h ago

It’s pretty cool he thinks you’re so powerful you can weaponize your cats.

u/Jackie2Knives 8h ago

Run. This guy is a sociopath.

u/yes-its-a-fking-scam 8h ago

NOR. Block him, inform your friends & family to avoid him, change your locks, don’t let your cats out. Looks to me he hates you and will probably try to hurt you now that you’re done with his shit.

u/PartyTangerinelolz 8h ago

“Tries to provoke you” “wears you down with words” “verbal beat-downs” this is called abuse. NOR. You deserve better. Let this loser go.

u/and_er 8h ago

I can't imagine why you'd love him. You're underreacting.

u/Bodod_Begag 8h ago

"I wish you'd die and go to hell"

Idk guys was blocking too much???

In all seriousness I know it's hard to see from the inside but to the rest of us you made the right choice. Hope it'll be clear as day to you soon too, you don't deserve to be spoken to like that.

u/justfullysendit 8h ago

No. You’re not overreacting to block the guy that says he wishes you’d die.

If you were in a better headspace, he’d be an excellent candidate to ragebait. But you’d just end up back with him rather than using him for the simpleton entertainment that he is. Not a knock against you at all, just an acknowledgment that you’ve internalized how he’s spoken to you for the last three years to the point where you’re asking strangers if it would be an overreaction to cut off contact with someone who got so mad when you didn’t give him the upset reaction he wanted after telling you he thought you were too fat to date that he doubled down and wished death upon you.

He thought he was rejecting you and then felt rejected by you and lashed out. You did nothing wrong. You just exist.

He’s unhinged and disgusting. Quite literally the fat broken angry leftovers that no one wants and it eats him up. He’s so idiotic that he simultaneously tries to tear you down as nothing while also proclaiming you’re everything that’s wrong with the entire country! WOW. You must be busy.

He triggered himself. When you begin to flip the script and see how stupid they are, it becomes easier to walk away.

Why do you love someone that treats you so openly this way? There doesn’t seem to be anything redeemable about him and, according to him at least, your cats would seem inclined to agree - honestly the only metric I need, if my pet doesn’t like you you’re done dude.

So. Do you love him or do you just not love yourself?

u/ModernMargaretSanger 8h ago

NOR. He’s an emotional abuser and you deserve better.

u/Strange_Lead_9678 8h ago

Someone's penisssss is sssssmall

u/_antfarmer_ 8h ago

NOR! He is human garbage talking to you like that. You deserve better, so draw on your self respect and block him everywhere. This is abusive. If you don’t believe all of us who are telling you that you’re better off without him, please seek counseling and work on yourself.

u/Cutty_Darke 8h ago

You're underreacting. A proportional reaction would be to set fire to everything he's ever given you or left at your place and then pay an Etsy witch to curse him.

If he tries to evade the block and get back in contact (particularly if he tries to play the "crazy bitch blocked me for no reason" card) then tell him that you were doing him a favour by removing yourself from his life, since he finds dealing with you such an unpleasant experience.

But just to be clear, he is 100% in the wrong. He's a coward who doesn't want to admit that you're out of his league. He's trying to destroy your self esteem so you'll let him access you and your body without making a commitment. You need to rebuild that self esteem, maybe get some therapy if you can afford it, and then find someone who's actually worthy of you.

u/Responsible-Tea-9454 8h ago

u/IttyBittyBigBoii 7h ago

u/Chaoss_Mama 7h ago

Pro tip: If anyone ever tells you that they think you should die, leave. Cut contact. NOR

u/Biggerandbetter10 7h ago edited 6h ago

NOR and idk how it isn’t clear. He’s a piece of shit loser who hates himself and takes it out on you. The murder suicide type of dude. For your own safety you should have blocked him and for you own mental well being how could you ever love someone like this?

u/Beebeemp 7h ago

"On and off" tells me all I need to know. You're not wrong for deciding you're done.

Dude said he wished you would die.

u/RecordingOk4947 7h ago

Please don’t ever, ever, ever talk to this man again. He is VILE and you deserve SO MUCH BETTER.

u/oratoriosilver 7h ago

I mean this kindly, but I suggest that you have some therapy before any future relationships, and I’d also really encourage you to do some work for victims of domestic abuse, so that you can understand more about the reasons you feel love for someone as obviously appalling and abusive as this.
