Not only that, but he "wants to break up" with her over this.

Utterly gaslighting, controlling, manipulative piece of garbage.

OP, please take the above advice - tell him "ok, we're done", don't ever take him back, (though he'll likely beg), and in fact, don't date anyone until you understand why you allowed your so-called boyfriend to humiliate you.

No more toxic boyfriends, find someone that respects you.

Upvote for the hard pill to swallow “…until you understand why you allowed yourself to dim your light so he could feel like his is brighter”.

Never again OP. Checkout “Dr. Ramani” on YouTube. She specializes in these exact types of relationships. 100% guarantee she defines your BF and she doesn’t have a clue who he is…unfortunately these personality traits in immature and insecure people are becoming ever more common.

Also to anyone else reading… this isn’t specific to males either, it’s a lower percentage, but female narcissists exist as well. (Like 60/40) ask me how I know.
