My ex boyfriend always treated me cruely. He would always tell me that i wasnt pretty enough,for any man to truely want to be with. He always called me names and put me down. I was made to feel like i wasnt good enough for anyone. So i ended up leaving him. But the man im with now does the same exact things to me but im afraid to leave him. Im afraid i cant do any better.

Gonna say something that mite sound harsh but it will hopefully help if u just think abt it. QUIT PLAYING THE VICTIM! If u don't start caring abt urself, no one else will care either. Kick this guy to the curb and learn to be happy being alone. Then u mite be able to be happy with another person Jmo

Jmo too!

I agree with ram318. Heres another when you do look for another man try to look for something different in a man. From this and the other threads you are atracted to abusers break the chain. You subconsiosly must think you deserve this to find the exact same type of man. Trust me a friend of mine did the exact thing. Oh a little conseling will help

@christine47:Took me almost 8 years 2 get away from a very abusive relationship was not married 2 him nore did we have kids 2gether never believed somebody can or could brainwash me i been single 4 9 month now by choice had 2 find myself again learn how 2 laugh and feel good bout myself and its the best thing i ever done in my life i know i deseve better and so do u!! If i did it i know u can!! Iam alive again I rather die a lonely woman than ever live like that again!!! And thanks 2 all of u i lmao all day till my face hurt!! Thank u its been so great talking and laughing with u all!!! And again i know u have the power and strenght 2 to get away from him the sooner the better!!!

@cristine47 also forgot to tell you there are places in the communitys that help give classes to help you learn to have confidence in yourself. Try for batter or abused women tell them your story and that you need help to break a vicious cycle. They will give you the information. But they cant make you the choice is yours. I went to one in florida it builds self esteem and confidence. I was physically and mentally abused. And i used it and i am who i am today. I wont for a second put up with that garbage and im not afraid to tell a man to hit the road. Im better than that. Please seek the help.

@brats52005: I meet with a group of women once a week and still go 2 one on 1 counseling its a good thing did nothing but help me and iam not ashamed of it either!!

Bae u unhappy? dump his azz...i kno its hard being alone, but it dosnt sound much better being with a man lyke that... Is he gonna b there shud u ever really need him? A man shud not degrade his woman if he dosnt think ur pretty or a good gf y is he with u in the first place? He dont think that hes jus an azzhole n lykes keeping u down so you dont rise above him

Ive had friends whov had the same problem... N personally i feel bad 4 the guy... That he is so scared, selfish and insecure as 2 he thinx he has 2 degrade u 2 b able 2 keep u. Its jus sad, all around... But yea do yourself a favor n drop the zero cuz obviously he aint worth a dime

@heiveva me either. Im not ashamed either was the best thing i did for myself
