That is truly horrible. My heart goes out to you. Nobody should ever have to go through a situation like that. By all means don’t just avoid Edwin, but all like him. *hugs*

I’m so sorry! Nobody deserves to be treated that way. I hope you blocked his number so he can no longer call you. Ugh.

Wow, this creep sounds a little bit like one of my exes. He had serious problems with trust, we had some fights, and I completely lost emotional interest in him over time. We were living together, so we tried to be friends after the breakup. At first he cooled down and it seemed like maybe it could work. One night he wouldn’t stop begging for sex. I actually didn’t mind fucking him but was annoyed by the manipulation and afraid he’d feel led on. After several hours I gave in, only after repeatedly telling him I had no feelings for him. I was so sleep deprived that my judgment was crap. He held the encounter against me later, of course.

Over the next couple weeks the ex got more and more passive aggressive and we had more fights. I started dating someone new. The ex flipped, I moved out. He’d considered the breakup a temporary test to endure until he won me back. He thought he had the right to another chance and demanded I give it to him. He began alternating between saying I was worst person in the world and saying he’d never love another and wanted me back. Things went downhill from there. I ended up having to file a restraining order and moved again further away.

So yeah, feel your pain.

Thanks for commenting, everyone. Edwin called me the other day and was trying to be all friendly, so I wrote this to reinforce for myself the reason I don’t really want to be a part of his life, just in case he ends up making a “let’s be friends for reals” bid in the future. Disgust will help me stay strong, I’m sure.

He is a manipulative, abusive person. And I hate that I can relate to the feeling of having no choice. Of having to say yes because you feel that you can’t say no. I know all too well what that feels like and I wish I didn’t. I’m sorry that you know what that feels like, too. <3

I about felt like throwing up myself by the end.

“He was an ass” doesn’t seem adequate. I’ve dealt with some fucking bastard manipulators in my life, but never at this kind of cost.

I’m very sorry to hear about the horrifying scenarios you’ve been through.

Jesus Christ. I’m not sure what to say except that he’s a complete ass, I don’t fault your actions, and I hope nothing like that happens to you again.
