Four years ago I moved to another city to attend university. I met this guy through some friends and we soon started dating. We are together for almost four years now. In the first few months that we dated I kept in contact with my ex boyfriend. We were just friends. Anyway my boyfriend found out about that and he abused me for "cheating" on him. I know it was wrong of me to talk to my ex but he uses it as an excuse to treat me badly and control my life. Now that my studies are over I had to move back home and he doesn't trust me here. I'm not allowed to leave the house at all. Im not allowed to talk to any boys or my old friends from school. He insists on me moving from here and said that as long as I am at home my life will be miserable. He accuses me of cheating on him even though I have been faithful for years now. I love him very much and I thought I would end up marrying him. But things have changed and I am not happy being controlled by him. When I try to break up with him, he threatens to hurt me and my family, he says the most hurtful things that make me feel like dying. I feel like I'm stuck in this black hole with him. I keep thinking he will change and things will get better. I don't know if I should stick with him or leave, if that's even possible.

You destroyed the trust he had for you and he is now punishing you for it. Yes, you need to leave that situation as soon as possible, are you actually able to leave?
