Let me just add, because I have been there too
....
We women can be such nurturing and care giving individuals that sometimes we allow others to take advantage of us and not treat us well. I have been engulfed by another before and let the negativity and bad stuff be swept under the rug. Yes, we all have issues and 'maybe' this one is having some himself however, if we do not demand respect we will never receive it.
Please take this in the context it is intended... I am a VERY strong woman and even I, in my past, was taken in and not treated right. It can happen so quickly when we have so much compassion.
Just a consideration is all. I really do wish you the best of luck!!
