the heart wants what the heart wants
But the head is telling you that you need to end it. That's always a tough position to be in, & the answers are not always that simple. You still love that person, but you know logically it's ruining your chances for finding true happiness with him. As easy as it is to tell yourself that you should dump him because of his cruel behavior towards you, you're conflicted as to what step to take next because you know it's not gonna be that easy, especially when you're in love. It's scary & it hurts.
Although I think the guy sounds like a manipulative jerk, maybe you should suck it up & try not to let your fear override your decision to discuss the key matter with him first before you make any rash decisions. Get a feel for where he's coming from, & just point blank tell him, in a calm tone without getting too emotional, that you don't think he's treating you fairly. Then assess his reaction--if he becomes defensive & irrational, then I think at that time you'll be able to trust your instincts enough to know what course of action you should take next. Allow yourself some time to let it all sink in--& then simply let it go if & when you know you need to. Your sanity is at stake here.
Just DO it, & good luck.
