Sounds as if the friend might be worth it though

Amen to that ;-)

Morgan Freeman's words of wise

Well OP also sounds "stupid and annoying" for dating someone he doesn't like. Obviously the girl isnt the only baboon.

Something tells me you wouldn't be so harsh if OP was a woman and the abuser was a guy. Clue's in OP's name, idiot.

Dunno why you got thumbs down, this is totally a legit question

Thank you. I know if my boyfriend was always insulting me, I wouldn't be sticking around.

Maybe she's relatively attractive, given that OP would even decide to date an 'illiterate baboon.'

She who wields the ****** holds the power. That's why he stayed.

I'm assuming the OP's girlfriend was fine when they first started dating, then when the relationship went downhill, that's when she started "viciously insulting" him.

#45, and that should have been the day he left. Or shortly after if it continued.

She is out of there!

maybe that's what he likes... people can be weird

That's all easier said than done. OP obviously still loved her so im guessing that's why he didn't break up with her.

Also, judging from his username, she was abusive. We know she was emotionally abusive, but she could also have been physically abusive. And abusers have a way of making their victims feel sorry for them, and that it's their own fault why they've been abused, and so they continue to stay with the abusive partner. I'm not saying this is exactly what happened with OP, but it could possibly be something like this.

Abusive relationships don't always follow logic.

@56 Yes, most women are only partially ***** anyway.

I agree. OP, YDI. Dodged a bullet there.

It's not so much YDI for losing them or being rid of them but a FYL for the person lacking the decency to not be able to end it themselves. Kudos too for staying loyal regardless of the bitchiness your girl friend sent your way

*Are NEVER worth it.

What? WHAT?! Surely you're kidding. Even if it WAS his new girlfriend, what kind of way is that to break up with someone? "Yeah, he told me to tell you, that HE'S MINE NOW, BITCH". But add the fact that it's his mother, who willingly played the role. Ugh.

Or he could just text her back saying that he has been waiting for the moment her sorry ass will be out of his life, and now that the moment has finally arrived, he will be celebrating!!

She'd just end up retorting that he could have broke up with her at any point in time.

I'm assuming that she wasn't that way in the beginning of the relationship and by the time she started mentally abusing him, he already loved her.
