Hello, first I want to say thank you to this community. It is making the break up a lot easier knowing that he is a definite LVM and that I deserve better. I do love and care for him still and that is the hard part.

So here is the story, I (26f) met him (26m) when I was 20 years old working at a restaurant. I was his manager and we were going to the same university. When I had met him he was living in student housing sharing a room with his brother and had no car. For some reason I decided to give him a chance because he was so nice and charming in the beginning. After about three months of dating he moved into my apartment where I was living on my own and I stupidly let him. For the first year everything was great and he was the perfect guy, I helped him get his life together and he started excelling in his classes and got a car. I supported him for several months during this time. Fast forward now almost 6 years of dating, we get into weekly arguments where most of the time it turns physical and he hurts me. He’s cheated on me and I constantly catch him talking to other girls. About four months ago I found out I was pregnant. He forced me to get an abortion. In the six years we’ve been together he has made me cut off all of my friends and family and I’m basically alone in the city we live in. The only thing I’ve got going for me is I have an excellent job and I’m going to school right now for my masters.

Our lease is up in one month and he decided today that he doesn’t want to be with me anymore. I’m at a loss of what to do. My whole world had revolved around him and I really don’t know who I am anymore. I also have to live with him for another month. I’ve already found another apartment to move into so that’s not an issue. I just don’t know who I am and I need some help from you ladies. Thank you
