    All very true! Of course, the very worst thing to do is stay, especially if everything (or the majority) listed is true! You can't make someone like you or care about you/your feelings. By staying, you're only hurting yourself & your self-esteem. The longer you stay, the harder it is to leave. Do yourself a favor & leave now b/c no one deserves to be treated badly &/or used.
