i've been dating my boyfriend for 16 months now, and at first everything was all butterflies and flowers perfect, but as it went on he's become more and more emotionally draining, if i don't answer his texts within 8 minutes sometimes less, he'll spam call me and spam text me demanding to know what happened when in reality i just turned my phone off for a moment to do something else that would only take a minute. i've asked him countless times to stop but whenever i do he gets really upset and panics or breaks down crying and it's somehow my fault? for reference i have schizoid personality disorder which in short means i just need time alone sometimes. i love him dearly but he wants me to up and move states away from home to be with him and i'm not sure if i want to make that commitment anymore, he's really draining to be around nowadays. i want to hope things will go back to the way they used to be, i had a talk with him about it again today that ended without tears but he mentioned the fact i said he was guilt tripping me last night? and how much that hurt him (he literally was guilt tripping me, i told him i feel awful when he cries because i want to take care of him but im not there and he took it as he cant cry around me anymore and i hate him?) i'm starting to think he's emotionally manipulative but i've invested so much into this relationship i don't want to give up yet.
i'd also like to bring up he's cheated on me once too but i forgave him, he's also pressured me into doing things i wasn't comfortable with then afterwards he started crying saying he didn't want that and that i wanted it so that's why he did it ???
i don't want to leave him but i'm at my wits end with him
update: we're talking about it now. fingers crossed

I believe I've posted here before but that was probably a good year or so ago.
Recently (July 16), my boyfriend of two years admitted to me in tears that he's been cheating on me since January of this year with one of his old gal friends.
Her name is Blue (I don't know her actual name anyway.) I met her last year because my boyfriend wanted to show me his friends. Everyone was super nice and supportive! Calling me cute and saying they're gonna "steal me away from him." Which was an uncomfortable comment because I'm super loyal but at the time I didn't think much of it..
Now we soon found out that Blue isn't too nice of a person. She's polyamorous and enjoys cheating on one partner with the next. Her main favorite though is a guy we call Dom. Dom is super nervous and doesn't speak out because Blue is also a master manipulator. She's extremely power hungry and loves playing the victim.
Well she kicked me from her server for making a joke about "top 10 basic ocs" to which I listed off common oc tropes. I even have some of the ocs mentioned so I wasn't trying to be mean at all! She even muted friends who tried to defend me.
Whatever, I thought.. I just blocked Blue and encouraged my friends to do the same.
Apparently during January, my bf went back to hang out with his friends.
I don't wanna be controlling at all, so I trusted him and thought "hey, I can't stop em from being friends with people."
Big mistake..
He told me recently that he and her had been "fake dating" where he didn't actually love her and just wanted to use her to delete the server.
He hung out with her and did whatever she said. He missed my birthday because her an his friends had a movie night, he video and voice chatted with her.. even exchanged naughty vcs and pictures.. which had me shocked and distraught.
I broke up with him instantly.
This all came up because I discovered a dead server and ran into Blue on there.. to which she lied to my face and asked me how my bf was doing, talking about how she hates men because they're always catching feelings for her.. little did I know until later that she was talking to my boyfriend.
Every friend of his knew about what had happened and not one confronted or told me..
So now I'm here.. and I really have been having trouble coping with all this.. is there any way I can receive some comfort and support? I'd really appreciate it..
