Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : This happened a couple of years ago. I was in a relationship with this girl who I felt I was in love with. The first couple of months were amazing with her, and we seemed to fit perfectly with each other. But then, things began to get tiring. Whenever I wanted to talk to her about anything, she would steer the conversation to how shitty the situation at her home is. I would stop talking about myself and listen to her and support her. 

There were a few months where I felt down because it felt like I wasn't able to make friends. She would always be by my side and glare at anyone who approached me. I noticed this and called her out on it but she said she did it unconsciously and apologized. And I let it go. 

Every time we fought, she would cry and tell me that I'm acting like her mother or her other family members. She said she couldn't handle it. I tried to approach her once about how it felt like she was ignoring me when I wanted to talk about myself for a change. I remember that night really vividly. She sobbed and wouldn't stop, telling me I was scaring her because I confronted her like her mother usually does. And I began comforting her and apologizing. Now I remember *I* apologized every time I felt something was wrong.

She's always been known as a sensitive person, but I couldn't handle it anymore. I was weak as well. Over months, I had stopped confronting her and standing up for myself. I was *scared* of confronting her. I was scared to tell her I wanted to break up.

So I told her that I had to breakup with her because my family found out (I'm from a place where dating is a huge no-no). 

She began yelling at me, and then after an hour she apologized, and then began yelling at me some more. It became a huge issue when she revealed that we were dating without my consent to her family even after me explicitly telling her not to. 

It took me months of counselling to realize that she was emotionally abusive. She was controlling. I'm very glad I broke up with her.

But, AITA for using a lie to do it?
