I posted something a few days ago about my boyfriend being abusive toward me and everyone's words and advice were so kind. Tonight I am feeling the weight of my choices to keep staying and working it out. He blames everyone and everything for his behavior and attitude. It's me, it's his...

It's so hard because he is always here. He spends his days playing video games. In the year we have been together he has done the dishes maybe 4 times. His ex was still living with us and get did most of the housework because she didn't pay for any expenses. I worked full time and my boyfriend...

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. It has meant a lot and given me much to think about. Unfortunately he doesn't work anymore and hasn't for a few months now. He had a great job but felt his coworker and boss were out to get him. It wasn't a very happy job environment. So he...

Trust me. I know how I sound. I do. Irrational and stupid for staying despite all the odds being against me. I need to leave. I know this. Part of me staying is the love I have for him. That look in his eyes when he is sorry. The fact that I somehow became dependent on him financially. The...

I have been and am where you are. The first time I blamed myself. We had a fight and he said the most horrible things and I slapped him. I knew it was wrong but I was so upset. He proceeded to punch me in the back of the head as I fell to the ground. I swore I would neve hit him again and I...

He told me he isn't happy and hasn't been for awhile. He said it's in part because I won't grow up. Yet he told me he is always like this during the holidays because of his childhood. He at least said he will go to thanksgiving with me. I have never doubted or second guesses myself before. I...

It's funny that, yes, people close to me have told me how wrong this is and to trust myself. And even strangers who only know my side, I try to tell an unbiased telling because I am journalist and it's what I'm about, are telling me the same thing. And those in his camp which is just his...

He says he loves me. When he came in the room all chipper and saw me upset and after asking what my "deal" was. Said he loved me. He tells me many times a day. Even despite all this mess. He has said he wants to protect me. He says he has and can hit harder. That when he was young in the 100...

We have been together a year next month. I know I am not all to blame. At 6 am yesterday morning he wanted to go to the store to get beer saying "he didn't want to be on Earth anymore" giving into the craving is easier. He blames me that he can't or won't quit for more than a month. Then says...

I have documented most everything. When something happens I text my best friend. Take photos of my injuries and have the most recent abuse on audio file. I have sent those to her and to an email he doesn't know about. I had to call the police once when he put a gun in his mouth saying after...

It all sounds cut and dry, I know. I just wish he would get help. He has admitted to having a problem. Then he says he is fine. Then he says he has issues. But he doesn't seek help. I am the one who has issues, an attitude and a "deal". He is all loving and joking now and I'm so sad and he is...

Thank you for your response. I am beginning to think he won't get help. He cancelled one appointment at the VA and then didn't show to his rescheduled appointment. His ex was living with us for months and it was nothing but crazy mind games between the two of them and her toward me. But I was...

For the last few months my boyfriend has hit me. It started around June when he got drunk and he was saying horrible things to me. I asked him to stop. He didn't. I slapped him. He said that was my one shot. He continued to say horrible things. I slapped him agin. He proceeded to punch the...
