Abusive relationship

Asked Nov 6, 2008, 12:03 PM — 14 Answers
I been dateing my boyfreind for nine months. And my life slowly started to disappear. He won't allow me to have any friends and he makes me set at home all day well he goes out and hangs with his friends. Then when he comes home he yells at me and accuses me of having menh at our apartment. He won't allow me to wear shorts anything tight or anything that shows my stomache. I'm only 20 years old and I feel like I'm wasteing my life. I thought about leaving him so many times but its immpossible when he knows where I live and I can't move because my money is real tight and I will never be able to afford it. He often gets drunk and pushes me around I don't remember when the last time I smiled was. I need help Will someone please give me some good advice?

You need to get out of this relationship! Find somewhere you can stay with friends or family. Start looking for a job if you don't have one already. Don't ever stay with someone like that because money is tight. You don't need to be in that type a situation. I'm sure there is someone who would let you stay with them.

If this is your apartment/house whatever, have him move out. If it is his apartment/house whatever, you move out as soon as humanly possible.

He is only going to get WORSE as time progresses. You are being kept as his slave literally. Please get yourself out of this situation as soon as possible, ok? Find a girl friend or family member to move in with until you can get your own place. Please do this as soon as possible before you get pregnant as if that happens then you fall into his well laid trap of keeping you in his clutches for many, many years suffering whatever insults or abuse both physical and mental at you.

Is there any way you could get him evicted or does he not live there? Or when he's gone have the locks changed? You really shouldn't have to put up with him.

Then he has to go, and if, not call a cop, or don't let him in when he returns from work. Stand up for yourself, and any help you can get is fine(cops, brothers, friends).

And don't even think about taking him back, or having anything else to do with him.

Just because its hard doesn't mean you can't do it.

Oh hunny it is that easy. If necessary you call the police and ask them to have an officer present, explain the situation and tell them you fear for your life. Believe me an officer will be there and escort this guy out of your home. The alternative is you ending up dead on the floor some day. Do you want that?

Hey this sounds like my life 10 years ago. Only we did have a kid. It isn't easy but it is worth it. If you don't do something, you will soon find yourself as I did, looking down the barrel of a sawed off shotgun held by a guy who had been "out with his friends" and was drunk, and my 2 yr old son watching and screaming from his crib. If he isn't on the lease, go to your landlord and let them know why you need to change the locks. Then when boyfriend gets persistent, get the cops involved. EVERY TIME. Get reports made and the whole 9. Then if he doesn't quit, you have all you the ammo you need to petition for a protective order with no questions asked. This is a pain, but if you don't you will be dealing with different kinds of pain lying in the hospital or maybe a coffin if you don't. You sound strong enough, and believe me, as much as he has made you feel dependent on him, you really aren't. Sometimes you just feel like it is easier to tolerate him, than get rid of him. Hope this helps a little, and you need to take what these other responses say into serious consideration. Seems that if complete strangers care this much, that you should have no trouble finding friends and family to help in supporting you. (financially and mentally!)
GOOD LUCK!
