Have you ever found yourself in an abusive relationship? How did you manage to get away?
I was in an abusive marriage and I put up with it for far too long. It was only when he came after me with a six month old baby in my arms that I left-it was my wake up call.

I have been lucky in that I have never been in an abusive relationship before but I know plenty of women who have and some who are still there. Congratulatuions to you for getting out for your sake and the babies.

Hi AlphaOmega:
I was in an abusive relationship and what you say is true. It feels like you are describing me and my boyfriend.
I agree that this pattern exists. He will always hug me after beating me up, tend to my wounds, and then promise me that it will never happen again. When the bruises heal, he always takes me on a date to a fancy restaurant. At one point, when

Thank you for sharing your stories. I think that these should serve as a lesson to all women… and men… in abusive relationships that people who love you will never hit you, and that if they hit you, they will never stop. And the thing is, abuse in relationships does not stop at the physical level. It could be emotional, psychological or verbal.

When you are in an abusive relationship, it is hard to just pick up and walk away. You love that person regardless of how they treat you. It takes an abused person 7 times on average to leave the abuser. It isn't an easy thing to do.

Hi all. First, I want to thank you for all these. I think these cases are sad depictions of a really terrifying problem that many women face. But I would just like to add to what AlphaOmega said as the cause of women finding it difficult to leave their abusive partners.
There are a third group of women who actually wants to be in an abusive relationship. If you have read the book

That is scary that there are women out there who are actually attracted to the abuse. It makes you wonder if they have psychological issues? I can't believe that a psychologically normal woman or man would knowingly want to go into an abusive relationship.
