I cannot think of even one good reason why I should stay in any kind of abusive circumstances. It shouldn't ever happen, but when it does we have to be mature enough to find a way out and never look back!

I can't say I was involved in an abusive relationship...he didin;t beat me but he did someting that kinda scared me. we were arguing...I can't remember over what, the thing it's that he grabbed my neck and pushed me against the pillow with my face in it..then he realised what he was doing and stoped imediately. of course i got scared and started crying. and he said something like : hey baby did you really think I was going to harm you?..I was like..yesssss. this was the thing that made me end the relationship :)

I honestly have never been with someone like that, but I have seen my sister go through it. She wanted to stay because of the kids and because she felt like she couldn't do any better. I actually had to step in because she was about 6months pregnant with her 1st child and he was throwing all kinds of things at her and one item hit her stomach. After hearing her call my name, I instantly got up and ran to her rescue!! Shes no longer with the guy and he doesn't ever see the kids. Those kind of situations are scary to be around.. I maybe tough for my sister but I don't know if I would be if it was me getting abused. Of course I wouldn't stay, and I would try to fight back but their strength are usually twice as strong as you so your strength sometimes isn't good enough. Bottom line, if you are in this kind of situation, the best thing to do is get out now before it costs you your life. Your life is more precious then staying and waiting around to see if they will change because most of the time they won't. It doesn't even have to be physically abused, it can be emotionally, or verbally... either way.. get out now!!

I won't stay in a relationship that is abusive. I am not a punching bag. I have life to protect. If my husband would violently abuse me, I will fight for my right. A relationship that is abusive is not healthy. There is no love and respect to speak of.

I have been in verbally abusive relationships and the thing with it one of them I didn't realize that he was being abusive until after I left. The things that were said were subtle things that didn't seem hurtful until I relived it. The other relationship soon after he became abusive with his words i left. i deserve better than to be abused.

I was in a violent relationship when I was 16, I had no idea what was going on and I was controlled so much I wasnt allowed to go out unless I was going to work, my boyfriend at the time would take me to work and pick me up... I had no choice but to stay in my relationship, luckily I met someone at work and he helped me get out of my situation.
I wouldnt put up with it now but at the time I was young and vunerable and it seemed I had no choice :(
