Leave him sistren.


Nope I've never been abused. Not in a way that wasn't wanted, anyway

No. I would never stay in an abusive relationship either, no matter how much I loved them.

what kinda Montell Williams inspired thread?

---

but no, i've never been in one. haven't come close to being in one either.

I know I aint gonna be in no damn relationship were someone even thinks about doing that.

If he wants to keep his dick where it is, he better not...

I always find it funny when people say stuff like "I'd never be in a relationship with someone like that/I would never take it"

Why is it funny?

That post seems much harsher than I thought it would Not funny "ha ha", but funny like, people in abusive relationships go into them thinking the other person could never physically hurt them, and when they do it's not a case of "I won't stand for this" for the majority. The people in abusive relationships have the same mindset as the comments I mentioned, and I always find it funny because these kinda threads on here/discussions in real life always have the same comments yet you can never really say what you would do until you have been in one, but people always think they know.

Yes, I have. Emotionally abusive relationships are pretty complicated... Would never want to go through one again.

Oh, that makes total sense. Good points.

My thoughts exactly when these discussions come up.

I know, boo. That's why we're soul mates.

Yeah, but some of us have enough sense to leave when a relationship turns abusive. Just because most people don't doesn't mean that all are the same way. As I said, I would never stay with somebody if they were abusing me, no matter how much I love them. It's not worth it.

It's a lot easier said than done. There are few people that can leave an abusive relationship at the first sign, but there are many more that don't and/or can't. Unless a person has gone through it and done it, there's really no way to speculate. There are many circumstances that impact a person's decision to stay/leave. To think "I'd leave someone who hit me" is easy, to do it is not as such.

It's not about common sense or understanding. It's more about emotions of fear, embarrassment, confusion, etc.
