A couple months ago I met this beautiful man. Shy and introverted. Independent. Smart. Passionate. Successful. We were friends for a couple months before we started dating. I discovered another beautiful side to him. He was caring and affectionate and considerate and he loved me. But suddenly I started to find out this wasn't the whole picture. He had a jealous side and a violent side. He wasn't violent like he ever hit me. He'd never do that. But he has a temper and it's uncontrollable. He becomes mean and rude. It changes him. He goes from loving to cold and all for no reason. He says he has trust issues and needs to know everything about me. We live in different cities. If I meet a friend for dinner and I tell him he asks me when I knew I was going for dinner. If I say we planned it yesterday he asks why he wasn't informed. I make excuses for him. No, I make excuses for that vulnerable, beautiful guy I thought I was in love with. He berates me when I'm at the bar buying drinks saying I liked rubbing shoulders with the men out there. He wants someone independent and free thinking which he believes I am but he berates me about doing things that make me that very person. He wants to know my movements at every second. But he broke up with his ex because she was too clingy, so he says. All I feel is hatred now for this man. this unrecognisable misogynistic crazy asshole.
