There's never an excuse for men like that. I'm happy you were able to overcome it. I had the same problem with my ex. He complained about every little thing I did. Called me fat and overweight to the point that I couldn't eat anymore, made me feel stupid and dumb. Insulted me directly and indirectly Hid me from his friends. I didn't see food the same. After a while of this behavior, I was finally able to gather confidence and leave the relationship. Unlike you, I haven't met my forever person and even after I left him, I still looked in the mirror wondering if he was right and if I dont deserve love. But I'm slowly growing and getting in a shape that makes me happy and I know now that even if I never meet my forever person, I'd still be much happier than I would have ever been with a person like that.
So this particular character in this book is someone that has no redeeming factor in my eyes.
my ex boyfriend was like this everytime making me insecure of my features and ignoring me all the time only remembered me when he needed money we were in college and together for 4 years... i loved him because he was not like this in the start but after some time he started taking me forgranted ( he became addict) i was depressed anyways taking care of an addict and his trashy behaviour was too much for me.. leaving some one after 4 yrs is not easy we fought everytime but reconciled bcoz of our codependency.. but then i brokeup i couldn't take it anymore .. a boy liked me from my school time..even after 9 years i was overwhelmed with that affection i thought this would be same too .. i gave him a chance and he turned my world upside down .. treated me like a princess and loved me .. its been 3 years now i am happy i got a bf who can understand me.. i thank god i got out of that toxic relationship
