Re: Is it time to end it? -

Hey there, thanks for reaching out. I am happy you continue to feel comfortable enough turning to TeenHelp when you are looking for support, and hopefully I can provide some of my insights. 
I agree with your friends that you need to end the relationship with this guy. Every relationship has its good moments and bad moments; and while some moments may seem memorable, the bad ones matter more because you matter. How you are left feeling after an incident with him is an indication of why you should leave him. It sounds like he knows that you are easily willing to bow down to him, so he has a strategy in place; and that is a fine example of gaslighting and manipulation.
I hope you consider leaving him and if you really want to give it another try, then you could have a serious conversation with him. No other distractions, no TV, no food, no nothing; just you, him, and a long, serious talk. But, from what I've read and your friends seem to have concluded themselves, this guy is not going to change his behavioral patter, he is going to keep playing the hot and cold game with you.
I wish you the best of luck and certainly do reach out again if needed.
