I hit my boyfriend then he bruised me bad but I left no mark on him. What should I do?

[Anonymous]

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for a little over 2 years. Last night he came over to stay the night and he saw that I asked a guy a question about school that my boyfriend hates. Well after that he posted abunch of Inappropriate pictures of me to his snapchat so I got furious and tried to take the phone away from him and pushed on his face then I saw him post another one and so I punched him in his shoulder but not hard then he went crazy and grabbed my arm then hit me and grabbed the side of my chest and hit me again then kicked me so I ran to the bathroom and looked cuz my arm and side of my chest stung really bad (still do the next day aka today) and saw that he left huge bruises on my arm and side of my chest and there really dark blue and purple like REALLY dark. I'm scared to tell anyone. What should I do?

Yes it's scary but you need to tell your mom and your best friend and break up with him.
He should never have treated you like that!
If you don't tell and you stay with him, IT WILL GET WORSE! It starts small and he'll apologize and say he was caught in the moment. And this will happen over and over until you believe it's your fault. Then one day it will go to far and he will either put you in the hospital or kill you.
He need therapy and you don't need to be with him for him to get help

Though it was wrong for you to hit him (he already seem like the type to beat up a girlfriend base on what he was doing before with the pictures, which is a crime already), for him to use excessive force like that is no excuse. If you're a minor you need to contact the school authorities, your mother and friends about this.

Also take pictures of all your bruises and report him. When he continue assaulting you after you long stopped, that turned into aggravated assault right there.

God you should totally leave him. Even though you started punching him he he was already being psycology aggressive with you then started to physically. He's bad and you're young, that's a toxic relationship. He has no right to tell who you should or should not talk to and start being a jerk about it. Please do something before it gets worse

You have to tell your parents or someone you can trust who can help you. If not at least break up with him. I can't believe you've dated for2 years.. Has he been like this all this time? Or at least tell him to NEVER hit you again. Or else you really have to stop seeing him. Never date anyone who hits his girlfriend.

[madhatters4]

regardless if you started it... and you shouldn't have started the physical altercation... he shouldn't have compounded the problem

it sounds to me like the two of you really need to work on communicating better rather than resorting to physical escalations

[Mofunfour20]

Take pictures and press charges. Folk like that need to be made an example of

[Mofunfour20]

Do it today

Breakup. He was really disrespectful to post those pictures. And as far as the violence goes...

you started it. You attacked him (hard or not -- can't prove that either way). He definitely was out of control. But if you want to get police involved, you're not exactly innocent in this.

And like, it's clear you two aren't ready to be in a relationship. And you totally shouldn't be together, between disrespecting each other and violence. Breakup and learn from the mistakes.

You should leave him first of all. He shouldn't have posted those photos. You shouldn't have hit him either, but he also shouldn't have hit back. It's best to just leave the situation now before it's too late.

anger management is something you should get away from before you get hurt i may be hard to leave him but you should if he is the kind to come after you then tell your parents that you just don't like him anymore or something so that they will keep him away from you without getting him into to much trouble and you will be safe i am only 15 but that is what i would do

[awhitevwolfa]

First even if you started it and hit him. He shouldn't hit you back no matter what. He's an abuser I recommend leaving him.

Well if you were under 18 and he is putting pictures that are inappropriate that in itself is a crime. You need to reach out to your parents because this boy he is very dangerous and granite you shouldn't have hit him it does not excuse the behavior that he has displayed before and after. You need to tell your parents. Trust me if I was your mom I would want to know because I guarantee you would be the last female he put his hands on. I would also talk to you about why you don't hit people.

[bg1987]

You need to take photos of the bruises first of all. You know what he capable of so you need to distance yourself.

[KingNothing83]

Break up with him, if he's comfortable enough to do that it'll happen again and worse. They always promise it won't happen again.

[Anonymous]

Leave? Clearly that relationships toxic and it won't last when your both bringing out the worst in each other

[Ali55sven]

Fuck him up tell your parents, go to the authorities. Your underage aswell you dont need that kind of abuse.

[Anonymous]

Well now you know how he can get, probably should break up with him for awhile since he showed you how abusive he can be

[Savatar]

Don't start a physical fight.

[jhale]

[BertMacklinFBI]
