The title sums it up, but my boyfriend and I have been together for two years. Our relationship has always had its ups and downs, however they've been magnified recently. He's been getting very insecure and possessive, angry at me for spending time with other men as friends or wearing something that shows too much skin. He has moments where he gets angry and throws things around the room or smashes things like lamps.
he pays his own rent but whenever we go out, it's me footing the bill and he always asks me how much I make after I get home from work.
the other night before Valentine's Day reached a peak. I went in and was speaking to a musician we know of. Anyway, said musician made it rain on me and I thought it was funny so I texted my boyfriend to which he said "I don't want to hear anything else about the strip club ever again." This ruined my night and put me in a mood. When I got home he had separated the blankets on the bed so we had a "barrier" which felt really shitty. The next morning he explained that it was this individual who he had heard stories about and the fact I spent time with this guy hurt him.
i told him it's my job and that he really hurt me and made me feel like he was disappointed by me or angry at me for my job. He gaslighted me by making me feel like I had done something wrong and was just simply overreacting or misinterpreting his text to me that night.
anyway, I'm not looking for advice so much as to just get this off my chest because I spent all of Valentine's Day in tears which sucked.
