Striping all of the other stuff aside: your fiance decided to make a huge life decion without communicating with you. That is not how adult realtionships work. Up and out 200 miles without telling you and leaving you to help yourself? Super immature move. If she had an issue with what everyone was saying, a conversation with you would have had to be step one. She didn't. Like a teen, she burned bridges to prove strangers wrong. I wouldn't hold my breath to be honest. I am 42 and wouldn't even know where to begin to restore this break of trust and communication

The first step is to stop boo-hooing and realize that your birthday is just another day.

If you want something special to happen on that day you need to clearly communicate what your desires are. I could interpret what you told her as "He doesn't actually want anything".

And we can't know why she isn't talking to you without more information.

>But my gut was right. Don’t date someone I met at a bar. He’s quite controlling. Verbally and emotionally abusive. He gets livid if I stand too close to one of his male friends. He once berated me for days for being too close to his brother in an elevator. He’s crazy jealous of everything and everyone.

Meeting him at the bar isn't what's wrong with him as a partner.

>To my parents, one drop of alcohol is too much. They believe anyone who drinks has a drinking problem. My husband feeds their worst fears with his insane accusations. I tell them that he is just trying to isolate me from them. He’s trying to make them mad at me. He’s trying to distract everyone from his awful behavior toward me.

>Now he does not understand why I am so disgusted with him that he calls my parents and tattles on me.

You don't need him to understand. He has no reason to understand - you're currently putting up with his shit, have been since you started dating him, so why would he change now?

>Does anyone else understand where I’m coming from? It’s such a betrayal at the very core, right?

It's a cherry on top of the shit-sundae of a partner. Even if he hadn't called your parents about the alcohol, you should still leave him.

Set him free and break everything off and walk away. Sorry, but I personally think that he's been experimenting already, and I would get tested for STDs. Tell him that you don't want to be married to a bi sexual person and that he needs to go figure himself out. Good luck

He loves playing with the kids. And loves on them. But when he gets in his dark place and everything is my fault. He blames me for having them. And blames his depression on me and his hateful feelings toward them on me. No matter what he did to me. It would never make me hate my kids. He’s done a lot for me. He got me out of a financial hole when we first got together, and has since never let me forget it. And how I’d still be there if it wasn’t for him. And I’ll Be there again without him. Idk how to leave and make sure my kids get what they need too. And ironically my in laws are the best. And would help me with absolutely anything. I can’t take them from their loving grandparents

Supporting my fiancé financially was costing me an extra £100-£120 a month (as all I was really paying for was extra food to feed the two of us, plus her phone bill which was £7 a month) hiring a nurse would cost me around £500-600 a month from my research. Which is sadly too much for me to afford.

Tell him you'll give him $20 every time you lash out at him, and hold to your end of the deal. In fact, hand him $100 cash up front, and tell him to give back whatever remains at the end of the month. You'll stop or go broke.

Edit: See, right now there's not enough incentive for you to change in a hurry because he hasn't walked out on you. You can take your time working on changing because you're safe, and he's tolerant. You gotta make it hurt, gotta make it really uncomfortable for you to be mean to him. Put up some money.

People who love each other don't act like that. You're codependent. Not in love.

While you both didn't choose the mental health issues you have, you are responsible for how you act and what you do to help yourself. You admitted you're not in therapy? Why?

Are you an abuser? Yes. You hit someone. And you threatened to kill yourself to make her stay. You need inpatient care to stabilize and deal with these issues. She cannot be your therapist.

Right now in your current states, you two should not be together.
