Today, I was debating with my now ex-boyfriend over the ethics of using torture in interrogations of suspected criminals. It took just ten minutes before he freely admitted that he'd have no problem "torturing the shit" out of me if he even suspected I was seeing another man. FML

I'd record next time you have that conversation with him. That way if he actually tries to do anything you can take the recording to the police as evidence and get a restraining order for it.

There won't be anymore of those "Conversations"... She dumped him. But, I think that if he decides to stalk her, she can easily get a restraining order. He seems quite free with information about his personal thoughts.

Why would you break up with him? He seems like a great guy

Text sarcasm is hard to detect so i'm hoping that comment is filled to the brim with it.

Your boyfriend must have serious feelings for you then OP. men tend to not give a **** unless it's something they like/love/want.

But there are those who are just possessive. There aren't any tender emotions involved. Those are the ones you have to watch out for.

Please tell me you're joking. That is the rationale behind the continuation of many abusive relationships.

Like, you belong to him because he cares about you? And that's okay? Possessive, obsessive, controlling--call it whatever you want, it can still lead to abuse. My fiance jokes about killing any other guy who touches me, but admits he'd just be heartbroken and leave. That's the proper response to being cheated on. You can be angry and argue about it, throw his/her stuff on the lawn, maybe smash an iPod or phone; but violence in a relationship, for any reason, is unacceptable. Just because you're with someone does not mean they can rule over you. They trust is a key to staying together, so why be with someone who doesn't trust you?

Wait wait wait ladies, what you are saying is completely correct! But, listen to me, if you are having a conversation with your boyfriend, an the talk of cheating comes up what would you say? Ive known more woman to attack their man for cheating than the other way around. It's just a conversation. I do not agree with possessive/controlling men, I've known a few myself. But, there is a huge difference between a conversation and actually acting on your words. I've told my ex in the past if he cheated on me i'd kill him. Im sure you have told someone that before as well, but never acted upon. I mean, if someone cheated on you, that I devistating! Violence is never the answer but I guess I am not taking OPs boyfriend literally on his word.

#49: Most communication in nonverbal. We use body language, tone, and facial expression to get a point across. There was a study a few decades back that claimed words only imparted 7% of language. I don't know if it's disproved, but it makes you realize what cues we pick up silently. If OP thought her boyfriend was serious, it was probably because his body language said he was.

#49, No I've never told anyone that I would kill them (or use any other form of violence) if they cheated on me. However, my ex husband did tell me he would make me watch him kill the man I cheated on him with if I ever cheated. This happened while we were still dating and I should have left him then. Once we were married he became physically abusive and even strangled me just because a friend told him he suspected I was involved with someone else, which wasn't true. He also had several affairs himself. And no, this issue has nothing to do with gender. How many women you know who have assaulted a boyfriend or husband is irrelevant. If you've threatened to kill your boyfriend for cheating on you, I suggest you seriously examine your own heart and mind. I admit that making such threats in jest shouldn't be taken too seriously, but since OP felt the need to dump her boyfriend over this, I doubt he was joking.

If a girl cheated on me I would beat the dudes ass and leave her.

I have never threatened violence. My fiance has known from day one that I can't bear the thought of him with another woman and would leave if it ever happened, but I wouldn't do anything violent. When my ex cheated I faced the other woman nearly every night when she'd come into my work and throw it in my face. I never so much as refused service (even though I had the right to "for any reason"). She's since hit on a guy she found out liked me and my current fiance. He turned her down flat. I feel sorry for her, feeling like she needs to be the piece on the side instead of being loved for real.

Do you have an older brother or anyone in the family that could do the same to him? If not, I'm always available to beat some sense into a non-respectful douche like him

Smart move in leaving him. He sounds mental.

**** him! You're broken up. Don't let him scare you and try to rule your life.

Hopefully she stopped ******* him a while ago.

Good for you for dumping that crazy ****! You've got your pride and he's all alone.

Given the OP's description, I suspect he'll get over it once he finds his next victim...

Leave the creep... Oh wait you did lol good for you

He seems like the type who can turn into a crazy EX boyfriend!!
