    Kick his behind to the curb! No woman ever has to put up with a man who is abusive! Do yourself a favor and be done with him!!

    You know hon, the fact that you're asking people to confirm and back you up suggests your confidence has already been knocked more than it ought to have been :(

    From my point of view (from someone who doesn't know you and has only read your post!) it does not sound good. Worse, it sounds familiar - sounds like my ex. I stayed far too long and ignored the warning signs. Whole thing did a bit of damage to me, you know? Don't let that happen to you. Like most people on here, I say run. Relationships are supposed to make you happy and secure, make you feel like you can do or achieve anything you want. You should know you are loved, and feel no doubt.

    And all the best to you, you deserve it :)

    Just sounds like drama to me. Maybe that's why you're with this guy?

    Really? Just, really? That's your helpful advice? What are you going to offer next, that she must enjoy being hit and called stupid and that's why she's with him? Or that maybe she deserves it?

    Don't comment if you're going to be mean.

    I know you don't mean to be awful, but this is an awful thing to say to someone reaching out about being abused.

    Good for u leave his behind! No one needs a person in their life that makes them feel bad about themselves, It really sounds like he some problems he needs to work on not ur problem! It sounds like he's doing whatever he can to push u to leave maybe he's not man enough to say so, the old saying goes actions speak louder than words! I would be gone yesterday! Verbal abuse is just as bad as physical. God bless you deserve better!

    That's not very productive

    I agree


    I'm sorry.

    There is a reason abusive relationships exist...people just can't just walk away. If it were easy to walk away people would never be in the relationship to begin with. Sometimes people need words of encouragement or to have their thoughts validated. We are humans, not super heros. Cut her some slack and shut the H*LL UP!


    My apology is sincere.
    My mother still refuses to leave her abusive bf after over 20yrs.

    This has made my blood boil. This is abuse. You need to finish with him and never look back. You deserve so much better than that prick!

    If you have to ask, you know it is.

    ^this

    Yup!

    Not necessarily. In some cases it can be simple misunderstanding and/or bad communication. Not this case, of course.

    RUN! Run far, far away!

    this and run as fast as you can girl! Once a friend told me that a guy will treat you in the way YOU allowed him to do it... We won't have a Prince Charmin if you choose a frog!

    Please leave and be safe. What you are going thru is abuse, and it certainly could escalate, so get out while you can.

    I hope you enjoy Canada.

    Don't wait, and I say that because it sounds like as your trip approaches, the situation may get more volatile. Because he is well aware of your trip. Begin as soon as you possibly can.....Begin your new life!

    I honestly think that they *were* trying to be awful. For every five nice, supportive people on MFP, there's at least one mean, nasty a*****e.

    Depends on the person who it's being said to. If you're a saucy woman who is quick to retort with your own insult right back, then name calling can be humorous and a lot of fun. But if you're not that kind of girl then he should be able to pick up on that and stop being derogatory.
