Holding on to a potentially toxic relationship

I'm in a relationship with a 22-year-old who expects too much from me and is extremely rigid, causing me emotional burnout and anxiety.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew if he truly cares about me before getting involved."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't get involved with someone who consistently makes you feel belittled and anxious."
