My ex constantly treated me like I was naive or stupid and I’m trying to understand it
*He talked about LOTR and said we had to watch it together because i “needed to see it.” I told him I had already watched them. Later he wanted to play LEGO LOTR with me and said, “Wait, you need to watch the movies first.” I reminded him that I had seen them, i even sent him a picture of the game because i already owned it.
He started joking with my sister about how i had "never seen 2 1/2 Men." No clue why, i grew up with it, and i hadn't even said a word.
He was gaming with me and his male friend, he mentioned Ace Ventura, and then they started joking about how i probably didnt even know what movie that was.*
He would also act like I didn’t know things that were extremely common knowledge, constantly corrected tiny spelling mistakes, putting misogynistic assumptions on me that he knew werent true, and often assumed weird things about me that weren’t true at all. (He randomly said "your adoptive mum", im not adopted.)
Im 4years younger than him, but we live in 2026, we have acces to everything, and most things were before he was born too so tf?
It felt less like joking and more like he had this image of me as dumb/naive no matter what I said. Has anyone else experienced this in an abusive relationship?
