Oh, my God, Annie - this is so like my last ex it's not even funny (not that it would be anyway). The issue with the number of guys (nevermind how he freaked out when he found out I'd had some fun with a couple of girls), his insults, his manipulation, his insecurity...everything. We were together for 3 years and now have a child. His lack of respect did nothing but grow and it took me a long time to get over feeling like such a tramp and complete loser. I've slept with about the same number as you and he was insecure because of his ex's. It escalated to the point where I had to leave. Bad situation for me and even worse for my son. It kills me that my son won't have a respectful, loving (biological) father in his life - it's not how I was raised and not how I wanted to raise him. Anyway, it was scary leaving because I felt pretty worthless after all his bullshit, but you know what? Life goes on and you are the one in control of your own happiness.
Get out before you get in too deep. It hurts, but this man will never respect you.
BIG HUGS. Feel free to PM me if you need to talk.
