totally don't believe that. You can take walks. You can call friends and ask to hang out. You can take the bus somewhere. You can rent a car for very cheap (take a taxi or bus to the rent-a-car center).

I feel like he's punishing me. ... it's messing with my head. I know this is bad for him... I empathize with that. but when I spend a lot of time around him, I empathize a little bit TOO much.... get caught into his moods..... and I forget all about what's important. it sucks. I trust myself to get my head straight after I leave though.

I doubt he's actually out to punish you - if anything, he's probably so caught up in his own hurt, that he's only thinking of himself. But YOU'RE interpreting his actions as "he's punishing me."
In the meantime, you can use this challenging situation as your spiritual practice. As Eckhart Tolle says, your true level of consciousness comes out during the tough times. So right now, you can almost thank your bf for pushing your buttons, and use this time to really burn up your ego and pain body.
