I have been with this man for almost 2 years. He has never worked, I fully support him financially. He has cheated, lied, stolen from me, and NOW he has hit me. I am an extremely intelligent, college educated woman. I come from a household with 2 parents, and neither were abusive. This man doesn’t make me feel good, he verbally abuses me, disrespects me, downgrades me, and I still try to make it work. When he breaks up with me, I’m devestated and wait for him to call. In all actuality I have no idea what I am still holding on to. We fight constantly, there are no more good times. I have anxiety 24/7, and yet and still I can’t turn and walk away. When I think about him not being a part of my life it’s almost like I cant breathe, but then in my mind I know I don’t want to be with him anymore. PLEASE DONT BE JUDGEMENTAL, I just need some advice…..

i was in a short 2 month relationship with a guy when i was 16 and he was 21. he was very emotionally, verbally, and somewhat sexually abusive. though it only lasted for 2 months before i got the guts to break up with him i still have nightmares that he is comeing for me and its been over a year since i have seen or herd from him. i also have not been able to date because evertime the thought comes up i think about my ex.

are there any good self help books on recovering from a relationship like that?
