Question - (17 November 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 17 November 2009)
A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I have been accused, verbally abused, and physically attacked by my boyfriend of three years.

I have never once been unfaithful in my thoughts or actions in the short time I've been here on this earth - it's just not in my character.

However, the daily interrogations (why did the bus take this long, what underwear are you wearing and why, you're wearing that for some other guy, what did you do while I tried on clothes - did you see some guy you thought was attractive? why not? why? etc) are absolutely emotionally exhausting, despite the promises to change. Need I mention the times I actually get impatient and that results in his fists being thrown my direction.

I love my boyfriend more than anything in the world and have tried to stand by him...but I can't continue being treated like this...

Is it true that this type of behavior can drive ones partner into the arms of someone else?

Statistics show that every 3 seconds, a woman is abused by her husband or loved one in this country. Why are you staying with this man? Studies and women that have been through it says that after the first hit, LEAVE. Don't stick around for seconds, thirds, and week old leftovers. THEY NEVER CHANGE! They always make false promises to change and they never do. You have been with this man 3 years, what changes have you seen? It doesn't take a person 3 years to change behavior that they really want to change. Why are you still there?

Please call any domestic violence hotlines and get some much needed counseling. Surround yourself with friends and loved ones that is going to support you. You may need to get the police involved if you feel threatened. Please get out. The cemetery is already too full of women who lost their lives at the hands of those who supposedly "loves" them. Please get out know before you are in the obituary of your local newspaper

greg290352 agony auntSimple answer to this is that you get out and fast! Girls get manipulated too much by guys who are good at using their fists on them. Ultimately some get killed. I have known one who was sadly.

He does not love you. You must get physically away from him - if necessary you move where you live. Otherwise things will get much worse.

Use your brain.

Good luck
