me and my boyfriend jason we both cut ourselves. it hurts each other that we cut. I yell at him to stop cutting but than he just yells back why should I stop doing it if you do still do it. I don't know what to do I love him and we have been dating for almost 2 yrs. I need advice.
Really, you need to stop. There are so many more options than cutting yourself to get over abusive parents. Take a step back and look at your life, is it really that horrible you need to lower yourself to the level of hurting yourself just to be in control of something? As others say, do something together that is beneficial to your relationship. It might seem hopeless now but you need to find something else.
If I try to bring it up he just starts a fight so I wount talk about it - 2 months ago

Ok, so instead of directly talking about it, take a different approach. Next time you feel the need to cut, have something else you can do and do that. If he says he would rather cut himself, tell him you don't want to, you want to do ___. Seriously if he can't accept a lifestyle where you don't hurt yourself, it really doesn't seem like he cares about you. - 2 months ago

It releases endorphins, so some people get a rush of pleasure. I've never experienced any burst of joy when I've gotten cut, though, so it might only work well for certain people, or something. - 2 months ago

Maybe you should check yourself in to a hospital for crazy people. I don't remember what they're called. I have had friends that have been sent to them for trying to kill themselves, and it helped them recover somewhat. Maybe it would help you stop cutting yourself. - 2 months ago
