Cut your losses

Today, I found out my partner was cheating on me. We’ve been together for over 5 years. I tried to break it off with him but he won’t let me. I feel stuck and numb. I went to bed early, only to be woken up by him (on purpose) a couple of hours later and now can’t sleep because of a headache. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

I’m sorry but did you say he “won’t let you” break up with him?? He doesn’t have a choice in this! If you feel unsafe, call for help and get away from him!!

I was in a similar situation, and I am currently stuck in this relationship. Get out while you can. At the time, I was not mentally well enough to stand up to his bullying.

sounds like you still aren't. take your own advice!

Call a friend, call family, hell, call the ******* cops and get the **** out. "Won't let me leave"? That's illegal...

how do you walk without a backbone? are you chained to the house? grow a backbone and walk out! you might say “it’s not that easy” but it really is. go. now.

He won't "let you" break up with him? That's not how it works. If he's being that possessive, it could be dangerous... I'd call the police.

YLS for the cheating (and whatever the hell else he is doing to you) but YDI for saying you can’t leave him. You clearly have access to a communication device so the “he won’t let me” part of this is bs. If you need help, you are capable.
