Hello! Judging by what you wrote, your partner is an emotional abuser. Emotional or psychological abuse is a very common phenomenon, yet most people have no clue that they are victims. No wonder, because emotional tyrants never do physical damage to their partners or threaten to kill. They are trying to assume total control over their chosen ones, so they convince victims that they are not good enough and that they will be lost without their “protector”. An emotional abuser is not capable of building a healthy relationship. He craves for being dominant and makes his victim take a subordinate position. That’s why he never stops telling things like “I am smarter that you”, “I know better”, “My opinion is more important”. One more vivid example is unwillingness to hear and listen to others, that’s why emotional abusers interrupt or ignore the partner. People make mistakes. “Adults” understand this, psychological tyrants don’t. He considers himself the one who is always right, even when the facts prove the opposite. In his reality he is always right, while others are not. He pays no attention to the arguments proving other people’s rightness. Ask your abuser why he has chosen you as a partner if he thinks that you are not smart or developed enough compared to him. You will hear something like “Because you’ll be lost without me!” It’s a typical answer of a person who is in a codependent relationship.

So what should you do? First of all, you need to accept the fact that you are in a destructive relationship. The next step is to stop integration with your partner. Don’t take everything he says about you for granted. Keep in mind that the aim of any emotional abuser is to keep his victims at his side, to root inferiority feeling in them. Learn to look at this world and yourself with your own eyes, use critical thinking. It is very important to find support inside yourself, and get the proof that you are capable of doing everyday tasks and overcome difficulties yourself. Develop as a personality and a professional, seek financial independence. Find a support group, a society of those who can support and cheer you up, share their emotional warmth, help both in word and deed.

this is not acceptable, you should not be so blinded in love so much, if you keep encouraging this behavior he will keep doing this, he will think it's very normal to do this, but you do realize it's traumatizing for you and your kid, it's not the appropriate environment to raise a child, please put your foot down and strictly talk about this to be stopped, or if needed end this thing for good here and now, think about what is required for you and your kid
