Of course. People don't change. I have enough self confidence to know I deserve better.

I was in an emotional and physical abusive relationship and let me tell you, I got out of the relationship as quick as I could and now I'm a happier person. An abusive relationship can cause alot more problems when you try to have other relationships so my advice would be to do what would make you a happier and better person and make your life much safer.

Yes, if I was independent. If not then I would try profssional conseltation on how to improve the relationship, i.e if I really loved and cared for the individual. If you respect yourself, you must make a decision, to stay and get insulted or to leave and find some peace of mind. By leaving, the other person may realise his or her mistake and make amends. If you keep taking the abuse, the abuser will not treat you any better, as he/she will presume you cant do a thing about it and may even think you deserve what you are getting. So its up to you to make the choice.

I would leave, in a heart beat, if it were a physically abusive relationship. I wouldn't put up with that. However, I would probably stick it out if it were emotionally abusive. Those kind of relationships, no matter how hard I try to stay away seem to hook onto me, like a magnet. :( So I'm not a very strong person, I guess.

The appropriate answer would be yes, but that's not what I did. You see, it depends on the abuser and if the abuser is capable of change. Emotional abuse to me, is harder than physical abuse...it wears you down, strips you of your self worth. Has you asking questions much like the one you are asking now. Physical abuse, depending on the degree of it, is something that you can over come. This answer depends upon what you are wiling to go through for this individual. If that person is capable of change, wants to change and is willing to take the steps necessary to do it, then it might be okay to stay and go through it together. If the person isn't, then pack your bags, preferrably when you have ample time to do it and don't look back. We only live once, you can't change those who don't think they are broken.

I was in a very abusive relationship. I stayed in it for 3 years until I realized that I deserved a lot better. If you are in one... it will take time for you to get out of the situation because many times your heart is still in it. Think of when you were a little kid and all of the dreams that you had about what your life long partner would be. Is he/she it? Next think about children...is this someone you would want to have children with...would you want your children to see or hear the abuse?

yes i would,ive seen too many of my friends and family in relationships that were either physically or emotionally abusive or both...I watched my mother go thru a marriage that lasted 20 yrs to a man who was both physically and emotionally abusive..she finally left when she found out what he had done to my sister...

Yes I would because I love myself to much to be in an abusive relationship... abuse does not equal love.

Sometimes it is hard to because you love the other person or you want them to change so you let yourself believe that they will change and not hurt you anymore. The only thing to do with someone who is hurting you is ask them to go into therapy and give them a second chance (none beyond that) or leave.

YES, IT MIGHT TAKE SOME HARD LESSONS TO EXPERIENCE BEFORE IT GETS TO THAT POINT ONLY BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THAT SITUATION DON'T REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON UNTIL IT GETS SO BAD. NOBODY SHOULD STAY IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF RESOURCES BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF CHANGE AND BECAUSE OF THAT THEY STAY IN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

Absolutely. The sooner the better. Not only could it get worse if you stay, it WILL get worse. You deserve to be loved, and abuse of any kind is NOT love and never will be.
