[QUOTE="SRL, post: 13375, member: 701"] [ QUOTE ] And this will only get worse until you learn how to halt it. I could go on and on about other things that will definitely work. But first, he must stop treating you like garbage. That's why you're crying your eyes out. And that thrills him to no end. So whatever you do, don't let him see the tears. Yes, I'm sorry, he really is trying to make you miserable. That's ODD. And you must learn how to stop feeding it soon (because that's probably what you're doing and don't even know it), before he gets physical.
