is this emotional abuse?

[Ali]

so i've been with my boyfriend on and off for 2 years now, and for the last few months things have been pretty rough between us. he really is a great guy besides for some of the things he says and does..



-alright so he constantly criticizes me and makes me feel like i'm not as good as him..
-around other girls he'll put me down infront of them and compliment them to make me jealous.
-he'll pick a fight with me and when i stand up for myself he freaks out and says i'm pissing him off/stressing him out and he'll go MIA with his friends for hours and hours and he'll message me the next day acting as if nothing happened, and if i bring it up he'll ignore me and say it was all my fault.
-he says all the time how much he doesnt trust me, and to prove i deserve his trust i gave him all of my passwords; facebook, twitter, hotmail. i distanced myself from my friends and stopped going out cause whenever i went out he accuses me of cheating on him..so when i'm not at school or at home, i'm with him, and even after all of this he still doesn't trust me, even when he has NO reason not to.

i really dont know what to do anymore.. any suggestions of how to handle this? please.

Yes,he is emotionally abusive. He also sounds controlling. He doesn't let you have your own opinion,he is paranoid(a sign he is cheating),and he is constantly unkind. I would suggest you break up with him.

a good rule is "If you have to wonder if it's abuse,it's abuse."

It's emotional abuse. Next comes physical.

I'm very sorry you're going through this and I know you love him, but these types of people don't change. He believes it's his RIGHT to make you feel like cr@p when he wants to, and that type of behaviour can't be unlearned. He can be sweet when he wants to keep you hooked, but once you're back the true face will come back. Get out now, and don't look back, no matter how much he begs and pleads with you. Please check the links below and keep strong.

Ouch! That's not good. What he's doing is unbelievably harsh and disrespectful. I can't believe what I am reading.

-I will say it. HE'S not as good as you! Only a low person like him will think that. You're more than that. More than what he believes. You're a much better person than him.

- Doing you like that?! Complimenting women in front of you, when he should be on his knees, kissing your feet, saying how a wonderful, beautiful girlfriend you are. The girls should be jealous.

- Keep standing up for yourself, he's only freaking out because he knows he reached his limit over you. All these things he's doing is to control you and make you feel worthless. But, you're not.

- If I were you, I would change my passwords and never tell him. You can talk to whoever you want. It's YOUR life and YOUR decision. Don't distance your friends over a pathetic unkind person like him. A true boyfriend wouldn't worry over stuff like these and will treat you with love and respect. He may be the one cheating. Watch out for that.

I'm sorry for insulting your boyfriend like that, but you shouldn't be experiencing emotional abuse. Trust me. This may be hard on you, but if it gets worse leave him. They're other more appreciative men out there who will love to have you and make you feel like a queen. He'll regret treating you that way.I guarantee it.
I hope you have a nice, better future when this is over.
