No worries Silver, I absolutely do not love him. I'm reading this book called The Manipulative Man, Identify his Behavior, Counter the Abuse, Regain Control.
He completely fits the profile for a "hostile woe-is-me dependent passive aggressive male."
From Chapter 5:
Some men with dependency issues have gone to the dark side They are verbally emotionally, and/or physically cruel to the women in their lives. Be assured, he would be the last person to admit he cannot survive emotionally without his mate.
If you are a successful woman, the Hostile Dependent Man will be envious and malicious. If you become annoyed with him, or critical, he feels demeaned and may become angry. He will resent anything that distracts your attention from him, including children or illness. Such men are dependent because they lack the self-confidence or skill to create a life for themselves. To maintain the illusion that they have an emotional existence, they become enmeshed with you. Their boundaries are ill-defined, they perceive their mate as an extension of themselves. They may use intimidation to forestall abandonment. If you have reason to believe a man is hostile and dependent---- run.
This book is very enlightening.

M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
