Quote: I cannot believe how mean he is to you... and how you seem to be used to it and blow it off. It makes me really sad when you talk about him giving his "reasons" for why you don't turn him on. That's just being mean... he doesn't seem like a very kind person.
Well, you are a kind person. One time when I confronted him about his "bullying" behavior he said something along the lines of "Sometimes that's all I've got.". I understand that it's a reflection of feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety on his part so I try to be compassionate and ignore it. It used to make me cry like a baby but not any more. Sometimes I wonder if that is a good thing, whether I've actually grown stronger or just more thick-skinned over the last couple years.
