Dear LW - the semi-adult I was married to was spoiled, manipulative, and incredibly selfish. Same kind of lover as you described too. Those traits got worse, I would give in when he would whine, then hated myself for giving in, then more whining. Then he'd give me something to make up for whatever and it was horrible. It got bad. Very bad. The marriage ended with my second suicide attempt. After my first suicide attempt, he didn't tell anyone that he had figured out that I wanted to die. Nope. As long as things went his way, more often than not, it didn't matter. He loves you "in his way" as you said, but that isn't love.
Run away!
