The first hit should be the last, sadly it often isn't. I had to learn that the hard way, but I can tell you, the last guy that hit me was the last guy that hit me and walked away from it unscathed.

I will never again allow anyone to place their hands on me unless I want them to. The next guy that hits me (won't be hubby, he would never do that) will be crawling away crying.

I'm not the scared little rabbit I used to be.

I think people stay in abusive relationships because 1. there too scared to go.
2. they have no one else to turn too.
3. the person giving the abuse has all the power..
4. they want to believe things will change and get better.

That's just from my own meananders.

Way #164 for leaving your other half:

Take a dump in his car with a note saying "You were a sh!tty boyfriend"

Lol, you two! :p

OK.I thought it over,but I'm not doing that thing with the gerbils again...

I mean it this time rome!

I had already left emotionally far in advance of ever uttering the words.. "its just not working out".

I hated hurting anyone who I once loved but some relationships simply run their course and there is no point in beating a dead horse.

Then of course there was the restraining order and nothing says good bye like a good old order of protection :)

He made you do that too! :eek:

Rome, you said I was your one and only.

Men! :rolleyes:

The old protection order works a charm.

Its amazing though at how much hurt and misery we put up with before we say enough.. that goes for both sexes.

I remember in the dying months of my marriage looking at my husband across the dinner table, and I just wanted to slap him,the way he ate,the way he checked his food,the way he left the bathroom door open when he was on the loo, he way he would breathe... the man was like sandpaper on my soul...

I'm positive he has nothing but charming stories about me too!
