writes:I have been going out with my boyfriend for 3 years and for the first 2 years things were going great but now he hits me whenever he gets drunk or high. Sometimes he even holds me down and forces me to have sex with him. I don't want to leave him because I really do love him and I know that it's his addiction that makes him violent. I'm getting really scared though. Last night we got into a fight and he choked me until I was unconcious. I was really scared and I'm afraid that he might really hurt me even if he doesn't mean to. I can't tell my friends because their mostly guys and I'm afraid they might hurt him but I can't hide my bruises forever. I've already begged him to get sober but that just pisses him off and he hits me. What should I do?

reader, anonymous, writes (25 September 2010): Well i have been in an abusive relationship for about 3 years and we have a 2 year old son together and i have a 6 year old from a previous relationship.And at first everything was like a dream..But then he began to choke me push me down..call me names to the point i didnt want to go outside or be around anyone but him. He has kicked in my door and went to jail..he fights in clubs he attacks me in front of people.he drives past my house alot..Last month i went and spent for a weekend with my best friend. That monday morning around 5;00a.m he came to my house and choked me attacked me he was so drunk and he told me that i had been out being a slut.I was crying and so scared and my kids saw that. He was in such a rage he threatened to kill me and then he told me that he loved me so much that he has to hit me. then he said he used to love me. He said he hated and that broke my heart. ive always been there for him and despite his flaws i still loved him for who he was. I decided to contact the authorities and he has to go to court this is his second cdv against me..he has to do jail time...plus attend anger management and alcohol treatment..I feel if you love yourself then you would take matters into your own hands and get some help before he ends up killing you. I feel if he really wants to be with me and my babies that he will seek this treatment if not then i will not be with him he has to change.

Girlfriend, if a man puts his hands on you in an abusive way one time, just one time, LEAVE HIM!!!!!. An abusive man won't change because it's all about control and obviously he's controlling you big time. If you love yourself, then you'll get some backbone and walk away because the next time, he will kill you.

When i was your age (and now i am 32), i had a boyfriend like that and i was SURE it is not his fault and that i loved him forever. My family were terrified of him and they cried for me to leave him, and i just kept on. On one of those evenings he raped me and i became pregnant. I call it rape because it was -- it is irrelevant whether he is your boyfriend or not! I woke up to reality then and i left him and got an abortion. I did have to go to another city then since i could not bear seeing him without getting really depressed, and he kept coming and aksing me to come back -- and i thought i still loved him. But i never forgave him and never got back with him. I am really happy i did that then -- it gave me self-confidence and respect that otherwise i would have lost more and more of.... remember -- with each of those evenings a part of you is gone and it is never coming back....and if it is not his fault, it is yours!

 He must have knocked the sense out of you. "What should I do?" you ask? I'm sure you know EXACTLY what you should do.

reader, anonymous, writes (6 March 2007): What do you mean, its not his fault?! Of course its his fault!!He is violent, gets drunk, hits you when you ask him to get sober, forces you to have sex, whether you want to or not, and chokes you til you lose consciousness. You are in serious danger. Don't you realize he could kill you one of these days?How can you possibly sit at your computer and tell us you love him?! What in the name of god is there to love about this horrible excuse for a human being?! As the other aunts and uncles have said, he neither respects nor loves you, and you need to leave, NOW. If you have nowhere else to go check out the closest women's shelter, and talk to the police.Don't remain in this "relationship" for another thirty seconds!

You are young and obviously have a big heart and alot to give; always remember there are "REAL" men out there that do not BEAT, RAPE and emotionally abouse their woman!! Please get out before it is to late!!! Try to do this when he is not around--I suggest getting your friends and the law enforcement to help--Please listen to what all the people here are saying!! And try to give us an update; I'll be thinking of you!!!!

reader, anonymous, writes (6 March 2007): I agree with all the aunts here, you need to leave him as soon as tomorrow and don't let him know that you are going, just pack your stuff if you live with him and get out, call the police if you need protection, this guy is really sick, you cannot love this animal....you are an abused woman, and he must have beaten you down so much you have no self esteem left....get some counseling as suggested and get this scum out before he kills you!
You are in danger!

 Nothing like justifying this jerk's behavior. Oh, he's drunk, he can't help himself. He choked me till I was unconscious but he didn't mean it. You need a reality check. There's a fine line between being choked to unconsciousness and being choked to death. If you want to tip-toe around this a-hole till he does kill you whether he's drunk or not, that's your call. But from an outsider's point of view, you need to lose this loser. . . before it is too late. Why don't you tell your friends what he does to you. I hope they kick his ass on his way out of your life.
Wise up.

reader, anonymous, writes (6 March 2007): The love, respect, and trust is completely gone from this relationship.
This man does not even see you as an equal and therefore he honestly feels he deserves to ill treat you and his anger and agression is way past healthy-he is close to making a most greivious mistake in that he let his anger rule for so long that it is now a big part of who he is and how he acts, thinks, and feels.
With this anger and agression, he may even commit murder.
I say get out while you are still alive and get some counselling for yourself so you can figure out why you think a man choking, restraining, and raping a woman is acceptable.
Please Sweetie, please leave and heal and love yourself. Get some counselling ASAP, you'll need the support to stay strong and push this man out of your life and mind.
*hugs*
