Are you and your boyfriend absolutely miserable and yet, even so, he won’t let you break up with him?

Do you try repeatedly to walk out the door, or ask him to leave, only to have him refuse to leave or refuse to stay away?

Are you going crazy, trying to get out of this relationship and move on?

There are a few reasons why he won’t let you break up with him and understanding them might help you figure out a way to get rid of him for good!

#1 — He wants the power.

When you try to break up with your boyfriend, does he say ‘ You won’t be doing the leaving…I will.’ Does he refuse to respect your wants and needs because it’s all about him?

I have a client who has been having an affair for years and she wants, more than anything, to end it. Whenever she tries, he threatens her, swearing that he will be the only one who decides when they are over. And he usually walks out, only to reappear a few days or weeks later, like nothing had happened.

If your guy wants the power, I would encourage you to dig deep and get some power of your own. If he doesn’t want to leave, you leave, even if only for a few weeks. If he leaves and then tries to worm his way back in, don’t let him. And if you can’t be strong…
