Question: My boyfriend tells me that I owe it to him to reassure him about our relationship even when I’m struggling with my own mental health and depressive episodes. He also yells at me and claims certain things are healthy or should be the right way to do things when they are objectively not but he won’t listen to me. Is he emotionally manipulative? Should I break up with him?
It sounds like your boyfriend's behavior is emotionally manipulative and controlling. It is not fair of him to demand that you prioritize his needs over your own mental health, and it is not healthy for him to yell at you or dismiss your input. It is important to prioritize your own well-being and to be in a relationship with someone who respects and supports your mental health. Consider talking to your boyfriend about how his behavior is affecting you and expressing your concerns. If he is willing to listen and make changes, couples therapy could be a good option to work through these issues together. However, if he is unwilling to acknowledge the damage his behavior is causing and make an effort to change, it may be best to end the relationship for your own well-being. Remember that you deserve to be in a loving and supportive relationship where both partners feel valued and respected.
