I'm trying to get out of an abusive relationship that I've been in for 13 years. But there are so many times where I think "We listened to this" or "He hated me doing that" and tonight I was out and just felt like I should run back home and wait until he allowed me out. And apologise for daring to think I could survive without him.

Sort of like a puppy that runs away, then sneaks back into it's kennel, waits for the master to come with the lead, and licks master's hand and wags it's tail apologetically, then follows him around again, trying to please him.

Is this normal? And how do I get past it?

*Supportive answers only please.

I have heard on the news that sooner or later, we all will be required to donate our organs when we die. As before we had the choice to do this.
Do you agree with this or disagree?

I see a ton of answers to peoples questions in this area that emphasize trying to talk loved ones out of being gay.

Could anyonone talk you out of being straight.?

heres the thing. we know it isnt a choice because then straight guys would have to admit they were faced with the choice in the first place. that they actually had experienced a gay urge themselves and had to choose and we all know that ain't happening. once one guy admits to another that he had a gay urge he is then officially bisexual.

The fact is some guys have the choice, and those who do generally don't agonize over it. They are guys so they fulfill the urge. not a lot of thinking going on there. there are so many avenues of opportunity available that its a no brainer.

its only the guys who feel trapped by only having gay urges that go through most of the pain

this is my own experience with several of my friends who later went on to get married.

so what do you base the belief on?

i claimed £2500 of unfair bank charges and my bank refunded the money twice. they spotted the mistake straight away and corrected it. can the bank withdraw the money without my consent. i thought once money entered your account it belonged to you and they couldnt touch it without your permission.

Factorize:

Formula: a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)

a^2 - a^2b^2 - 2ab - 1

I am leaving my apartment in about 10 days, and I recieved a text message from my landlord asking if i am going to put augusts rent in the box. I told him to use my security deposit because I have no money as I already put a deposit on another place.

The history with the LL is that I fell and injured myself on his deck - required surgery and i am still going to physical therapy for rehab. He doesnt maintain the property at all, he only comes around when the checks are to be picked up. Asked him several times to come and fix things and he never does.

Although these are not the direct reasons i am not paying this months rent, but instead using my security deposit, what else can I do? I have no money to give him.

As far as I know, the main difference is that Christians believe that Christ is coming back down and Jews do not. Is that true? There still has to be more differences than that though.

I am a single male here in Chicago and I am very shy I find it strange that people on publc transportation do noot talk much. People are usually listening to head phone, playing games on their phone or just talking on their phones. I think as a people we need to talk more to each other just say hi at least.

Hi, I was sitting in the stands and took this photo on a Pentax Digital Isd... kitted up with a 200mm lens.. running pretty fast. Do you think it's a worthy shot?

I know this is kind of a wierd question, but in the 7th book, Voldemort holds Ollivander hostage for months, and it doesn't seem to have any permanent effect on him.

Without guns and violence America would still be kissing the royal bottom in London. America would never have become the super power it is. Hitler and the axis would not have been stopped. Not to mention the numbers of violent criminals who would not be caught or killed making the streets safe for everyone.

I have a theory that there are a lot of people out there who tell their significant others that they have tons of stuff to do just so they can get out of doing things (i.e. work around the house, in-law functions, etc.) Just wanted to know if there were more people out there who do this!

I'm in love with this guy and he knows I have feelings for him but not to what extent. (we aren't dating) I'm starting school soon so I will be moving away, not too far, but far enough I won't see him everyday and I know it's going to kill me. I see him almost everyday and talk to him everyday so I'm afraid us not seeing each other all the time is going to change things for the worse. It's apparant that he has feelings for me too, he pretty much told my friend, but he still has feelings for his ex too. I want to talk to him about it but I don't know what to say and I wish I could tell him how I truely feel but I don't want to push him away or scare him. What should I do? Please help!
