This feels like an out of body experience,but here we go.
I made a post yesterday that my boyfriend was hiding food because I have gotten fat during our relationship.
To be a little more accurate I have gained about 20kgs in a year,which I know is a lot and I want to lose ,but I want to do it because I will feel better,not because someone else tells me to. I want to be healthier and feel comfortable in my skin on my own ,not with someone else acting like my parent.
Anyways, his pet name for me is something like “fatty” in our native language. Today he referred to me like that and then he said ” I don’t know how you can take it ,anyone else would have walked within the first month” and that this is something that could cause someone psychological problems. I asked him why is he doing that then and he said “because I want to cause you psychological problems” ,he clarified like a wake up call ,in order for me to lose weight.
I know this relationship is over. This isn’t even the biggest red flag. I know I need to leave , I can’t be around someone who treats me like that. He had never raised a hand on me , but every day he tires to make me feel awful about myself and today he confirmed that he does that in purpose.
I don’t know how to move on. I don’t know how I will get over him. I am scared that the time will pass and I will still love and miss him. I know that this isn’t a rational thought,but I can’t find the courage to get up and leave , I feel frozen in fear, like I’m not in control of my own body. How can I leave him and be able to move on with my life?
Anyone who has any advice it will be really appreciated. Thank you!

Leave him, seek counseling. You are being emotionally abused and you should seek help for exiting this relationship. Stuff like this can leave and emotional mark and you are already ahead of the curb by knowing you need to leave this situation yesterday!
The best thing to do is muster all your support. Leave him and then lean heavily on friends and family. It will not be easy, people who emotionally abuse others know how to get under the skin. However, for you own mental well being you do need to exit.
Seek counselors that specially in abuse. Particularly emotional abuse. You will be able to move on and one day this will be a part of your life that might hurt to look back on, but hopefully made you stronger in the long run.
You’re going to feel SO MUCH BETTER after you leave him.
Ok so a breakup is never easy, specially since you’re the one actually loving your partner so yes, it will hurt and there’s no sugarcoating it.
You will leave, it will hurt, you will want to go back but you will not do it, and then you will be over it eventually.
Love is also a decision and you can choose to walk away.
You are leaving a person that doesn’t love you, you are leaving a person that hurts you on purpose God knows why and you are worth so much more than that.
This person has gotten you so far to the point of belittling you and saying so openly and you still doubt your decision of leaving, that’s actually crazy. Don’t let people make you lose self-respect you are great and deserve love just as anybody else in this world.
You take it one day at a time
You will get over him, in fact you’ll look back and think why the hell was I with him
But for now, one day at a time.
