Anon,

Thank you so much for writing.

I want you to read back your own question as though you didn't know who wrote it:

--He teases you about wanting sex in a demeaning way
--He treats you like a slave around the house
--He emotionally abuses you about being unemployed instead of being supportive
--He ignores your requests to spend any quality time with you and insults you when you ask
--You have lost confidence and your body image.

Why are you still in this relationship? Anon, living with parents or a friend and moving past this abusive, controlling boyfriend would be the best present you could give yourself. You deserve more. I know that you probably feel dependent on him because you don't have a job right now, but I bet if you were determined to leave that you could find somewhere to stay while you look for a job. You are at the very beginning of your life and you shouldn't tie yourself down to a relationship with someone who does not want you to be an equal partner. If he's uninterested in you, there's no reason to stay, Anon. Look at this as a blessing, take the hint, and get your own life back.
