I need major advice guys

So I have a boyfriend. We’ve been talking since April. Well we knew each other for awhile before that hit we started talking seriously in April and started dating in June. Things haven’t been good at all since I’ve gotten kicked out. Let me tell you about my relationship. He’s two years younger than me. A senior in high school. He doesn’t really have any friends. Whenever him and I hang out with my friends smoking or something he’s always sketching out and idk he tries to make himself seem a lot cooler than he is and I can’t stand that. Oh he doesn’t drive so I have to drive everywhere. And I pay for almost everything. And he complains about paying for a $20 dollar dinner when I literally spend 70 dollars a week on gas. which brings me to my next point. Since I HAVE to be home now because I want to take care of my cat and I just want to be home Yanno? I’m gone 9 hours of the day. I’m tired. Like I want to go home and relax. I wake up at 6 and drive 40 minutes to watch a kid I hate till 4. Then USUALLY I drive to his house (20 mins) and then we usually go back to my house because of the car and what not. If I’m lucky and leave fast enough I’ll get home from his house in an HOUR so I live an hour from him now since I moved. And not only that but then I have to bring him home which is another hour and then go back to my house which is another hour. So on a usually day I drive around 4 hours or so…… That’s NOT okay. After this week tho I don’t have to babysit around here anymore. He’s really really protective and really really jealous. He saw me texting other guys and whenever I tried to talk to him he’d push me off. Which brings me to my next point. He’s really aggressive with me already. It’s nothing to be scared of right now. He pushed me down a few times and hit me after I hit him but not hard. Sometimes I was a little shocked but yeah. And we were hanging out and drinking the other night with my two friends and he just like grabbed me really hard cuz I think I annoyed him but he just grabbed me and didn’t say anything and idk how to explain it. But I had to like go to the bathroom to collect myself. And he always squeezes my pressure points super hard if I’m being annoying I guess? Like right now my neck and shoulder are sore bc he pressed it so hard on my neck and like I started crying just no tears came out. I just need to know what to do. And how to go about this. I’m so stressed out about this all.

You need to get yourself away from him. This is a really toxic and abusive relationship - you're doing everything you can to make him happy whilst he's abusing you. Yes, you shouldn't have hit him, but that doesn't give him the right to hit you back either. Don't defend what he did and is doing. You are better than that.

If you want to talk to him in person when you decide to break up (which I hope is soon because you shouldn't be anywhere near him right now) then make sure you bring a friend, just in case. Ultimately though, you don't owe him anything, but I would suggest ending it the most civil way possible so nothing else comes from it.

I know it'll be hard to actually break up, but a good idea I find is to write down what you need to say on some paper, so you can actually focus on the writing and the words on the paper rather than focus on him when saying it. If you want to help him and you do actually want to be friends then tell him he needs to get some professional help, because he can NOT be abusive towards people, especially the ones he's meant to love.

You deserve someone that will give you the respect you need, the love you need, the trust you need, someone that isn't going to abuse your circumstances and is going to go lengths to make you happy. You know what? You will find someone too. You're a wonderful person and you deserve to find someone great too.

If you'd like to talk more, I'm almost always around, just drop me a private message.

Sending you strength.
