Thank you for your reply. I’ve tried breaking up with him so many times but he just won’t let me and keeps saying “I won’t let you go, ever, you belong with me”, if I try he just cries or shouts and gets on his knees. If I do manage to leave, he spams out my phone and follows me

I’ve spoken to my mum about it but they don’t seem alarmed by it (my father behaves in a similar way to my bf when angry) but then again my mum gets the same treatment from my dad so perhaps she thinks it’s normal? My family love my boyfriend but none of his family like me which is kinda ironic. I’m waiting until he’s out at work to leave, thank you for this message ❤️

Would you say that those times he was treating me well and spends lots of money until I forgive him in which he then reverts back to his usual self in a matter of time is emotional manipulative?
