Sadly yes. Didn’t expect it and tried my best to avoid red flag men all my life since it’s a generational thing but still got stuck in it. I left after the second time luckily. You good babe?

I’m so sorry to hear this. Nobody deserves to be treated with abuse. I’m happy you got out just in time. Go listen to Christina I’m Ok for support. I was also in a abusive relationship but not physical. It was emotional but got out ASAP!

PS. Kenny hope you’re ok my friend!

That’s the song that helped me through hard times. Just sharing just Incase anyone needed a song. Music is therapy.

Thanks Rules. It was years ago and I’m good now but it can be hard getting back into relationships. Good to hear you got out as well, it’s a difficult process.

Thank you all for being concerned. Reading some of your posts has me very emotional.

Unfortunately the man I love has had the tendency to take his anger out in a really inappropriate way.

I was fortunately able to convince myself to leave before it got any worse. It was damn near impossible to leave him after just 8 months (5 of which were spent with utter bliss), so I can only imagine how much harder it would’ve been to leave if I would have stuck around any longer.

My heart goes out to all survivors and victims of DV because the popular narrative is to just get up and leave and Lord knows it is never that simple.

It’s so easy looking from the outside in and asking “why don’t they just leave?”

This is something I used to always ask myself before this relationship . These things are very very tricky to escape. I was even able to convince myself I was the villain a lot of the times after shit happened.

Indeed, it is not.

You have done the right thing and are so incredibly brave. x

No, but both my best friends have had abusive exes. I hope you get through this, and come out stronger. It’s ridiculous how awful and manipulative some people can be.

I think it gets a bit easier if you tell all your close family and friends. Sort of forces you to face the situation when you’d rather ignore it.

Yeah I've seen it happen to people who are close to me. As mentioned earlier, I feel like the only way out is to leave. He needs help too though and should seek it asap.

And it's never easy to just leave since you always believe he'll change and many people need to go through that 249292031 times before they decide it's over. Love is blind as they say. Hope you're okay although I know you've probably been scarred for life

This!

I used to always say I’d never tolerate abuse but it really creeps up on you. I found myself making all types of excuses the first time it got physical because it happened during an altercation, so I thought I must have provoked him. Didn’t leave because it didn’t hurt “that much” and we’d be good the next day but when it happened again completely unprovoked and was actually painful, I luckily said no more and left.

Abuse in any form is such a vacuum. Sending you lots of love. You’ll get through this xox

Yeah it’s really hard to admit being a victim, and to look weak so to speak.
