It’s true. I let myself fall into that trap again. Now I’m out. Thank God! No more crying and sadness! What an amazing relief!

Also, I think it is important to acknowledge that the abuser dosn’t know what love is either.

Unless your a abused by a ex yeah EX marine sniper for 4 years. Glad I’m out…

Demanded better & chance after chance given. Bye!

??? Don’t settle for less

Anybody can leave a relationship if they choose to somehow,someway you have a choice.

And this is exactly why I left

Love wants respect if there is no respect you wasting your time for that person who treat you shit.

Until you’ve been in a situation like this your opinion means nothing. Its not wrong to forgive someone or look past the mistakes …

Never understood it. I always treated my girlfriends with respect. Seen to many women blow me off for some asshole.

That’s why I left. ..deserve to be treated better. Abuse is not a healthy relationship! !

I agree 100% and keep it real no real man do this to a woman if he love the women in his family.

Ecactly exactly exactly….most people don’t know what true love is anymore @_@ I don’t understand how we got to this point. Where people take a good beat down to their soul & heart. Then go on proclaiming it is all in the name of love!!!! Good God! Those people make me cringe! I could go on and on about this subject but I’ll just shush >. <

Very true you don’t want to be in a relationship where the guy doesn’t do anything for you and every holiday you don’t get anything or you don’t go anywhere.he tells you he love’s you and don’t show it.He lies all time Stay away from that kind of guy he is not what God have sent you.you deserver better.

the person chose to do that because numerous relationship he has ease where

I chose to stay but it just hurt me more when she didn’t want to stay with me and she would just put me down call me names and it just got me to be mean back in return

It takes courage to get out. I’ve been there sometimes you are so wanting to have someone and believe that no one will want you.

Love is a choice, you choose to love somebody who can take care of you, respect you, and with you through the good and bad, its our choice!!!

I’m so glad I had my aha moment. It’s especially hard when they don’t treat you badly all the time but everyone deserves to be treated well all the time, not just a lot of the time.

You are supposed to stay through good and bad times(sickness, economic strife, etc.) Nowhere does. it mention abuse, physical or mental)… So don’t stress, you are just trying to do good for yourself if you leave. That’s called prevention and self preservation.

Sometimes certain circumstances do tend to make u stay tho especially when its not always bad alot of the time. Like not having anywhere else to go or thinking ur stucking it out thru the good and the bad like ur supposed to do when in a relationship. The thing is knowing what real respect,love, and such looks and feels like. And knowing u have to leave at some point if it shows the signs of just blantant disrespect.

Some of these men and sadly a few of the women writing on here are so clueless. Unless you’ve gone through it personally, you have no idea so don’t even pretend like you do. If it was such an easy situation to get out of… Guess what… No one would be in it because no one wakes up in the morning, drinks a cup of coffee and says “hmm this seems like a good day to get choked until they pass out, punched in the face and have my children have to watch, and then have their lives threatened if… Read more »

Very true, I had to leave for my own sake. I love myself too much to cope with somebody who doesn´t respect me.

I agree and know that I don’t love myself enough to walk away until I’ve been done so wrong that I hate the guy. Is it right to do this to myself and is it healthy?? Hell no but it’s my process maybe one day I’ll meet a man not a boy and he will show me what I have been missing all these years.

The choice is not to get in that type of relationship, if you are truly loving yourself, you will allow someone to abuse you in anyway, in the name of love, that’s not live its control and manipulation, don’t be so desperate to have a man!!!
