got beaten by the man i love

July 10, 2011 10:32am CST
I was 19 years old when i had my first boyfriend. You can say that i was so innocent during that time that i was so blinded by the thought of being in love. I was so afraid to lose him thats why i did everything i could to make our relationship work. he was so demanding and whenever he ask me to do something for him, i am not allowed to object or else, i will receive a lot of yelling or sometimes, he will try to hit me. It really felt good when he left me for another girl. I just couldnt bear it anymore.

You never should have waited till he found another girl, but then I understand that you were young and in love. A lot of battered women are always afraid of leaving a violent relationship. In fact, some of them blame themselves. I hope it didn't cause you any psychological problems at present.

I guess it was just hard to leave someone youre afraid of because i know that he would never let me go without breaking my leg or neck. Anyway, I really thanked god that he found another girl. I guess im the only person on earth who felt so happy when her man left her for someone else. Freedom!!! now im happy with my new boyfriend and he is very kind and loving... God is really good

i am glad that you are totally over him. i could not see the point of staying in a relationship when you are emotionally and physically beaten and hurt. although, i could not blame them, but i just can't find any reason why you will let yourself be hurt by someone you love. it is good that you are awake now!let's cheers on that!

I have never understood why people stick to each other, when there is no respect between them. This "I am afraid to end up alone" excuse seems to pathetic to me, and honestly, I believe it is a sign of weakness. Everybody has to have self esteem and should demand for respect and not humiliate himself or herself in front of nobody. I know that love is called to be blind and makes people do silly things, but I believe that it shouldn't change things so much.

You should have left him far sooner than he left you. I think that is just terrible to do to a person.

I am so sorry to hear that. The marriage shoud be based on respecting each other. Your boyfriend should be more gentleman. You can have a conversation with him and let him know if he could not make some changes, you will leave him decidely.

hi tinyrivera I am so glad your battering boyfriend left you. No young woman should ever feel she has to be a punching bag for a controlling battering young man. love is not supposed to be physically painful, he was not loving you he was controlling and lusting instead. A man who really loves a woman is not going to hurt her ever.So now you know that real love is wonderful and kind and never painful. welcome to mylot]and take care in your relationships so you have the right person loving you.Real love is never painful but happy and caring.

Hi! It is good for you to leave him early. Since you have already leave him, I believe you will definitely get another one which is much better than him. A man who beat woman will never be a good husband. So, whenever you get someone like that, just leave him as soon as possible. Never think that he is the only one for you, there are many out there are much more better than him.

I think the girls get matured early as compared to boys that is why I got my first gf when I was 20. I never hit any girl in my life except my sister when I was a child. i think the person was not good if he was violent to you. Whatever the God decides for you is good , just trust in yourself and God.

Whew!!! I'm glad that he left you as it sounds as though he was a real jerk for the yelling at you and all. You deserve someone much better than that....someone who will treat you with decency. Believe me, he is out there and you'll find him. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about this relationship. It sounds really terrible. I also believe that no woman deserves to be treated this way - in fact, no person ever deserves to be treated this way! Your partner is supposed to be the person who loves and respects you most in the world, and would never do anything to hurt you. You are definitely better off without this guy and I trust that you will find someone who treats you right!

Oh poor dear. You never should have waited till he left you. You must have suffered a lot. But anyway, I a glad to hear that you go over it. I can understand you. I had a friend in college who was beautiful. She was a model. She would tell me that her boyfriend hits her and that he has got another girlfriend. But still she wouldn't to go saying that she loves him so much. You see, it is a wonderful thing to love a person. But when it comes to things like these that people are hurting us, I guess it is time that we should love ourselves more and get on with our lives happily without these kinds of people. I am glad you are okay now.

There's a logic why our head is located higher than our heart. The control is all over in the head, in your brain. Our mind has the capacity to control our emotions and actions. We have different ways on expressing our affection. Some would give their all and some would give only one fourth or one half. In your case, it's good that you are not in the arms with that man anymore. Praise God for you are enlightened already with the reality. Just learn a lesson from the experienced that you've had and try to be responsible and mature.

No woman should ever have to deal with an abusive man. My mom said that my real father used to beat her. One day she said she just got tired of it and picked up a frying pan and beat him with it. She said he never put hands on her again. She always told me if a man demands things, are very bossy, or even hits you once get out. I have honestly never been hit by a man, but if I did he would regret it; I would beat him senseless.
