What Girls Said
I was in a LDR that was not good 😒
You know... up until recently, I hadn't known anyone with an abusive LDR. But I've spoken to two girls who had positively terrifying experiences. I'm so sorry this happened to you. 🙂 Thanks for replying.
Don't sleep! There will be no abuse but a justifiable funeral.
I don't understand why men always feel to hit a woman. I'm not your child or a threat. You are suppose to protect me not beat me.
Always? That's irresponsible. Most men are not abusers.
I get abused at work by men. I am thinking particularly of one completely selfish jerk who i am disgusted even thinking that i have to be polite to him and be around him. He is so phony and selfish its disgusting.
Emotionally and verbally abusive.
Please tell me you've escaped?
nevermind... didn't check the poll results before replying... so...
I'm glad you escaped... is what I should have said. 😁
well Goddammit. I just checked those poll results... again... and realized that there is indeed 1 person currently in an abusive relationship. Would that happen to be you?
I would not tolerate an abusive relationship.
Thankfully no, I haven't.
I have not thank god.
.. yes
Abusers avoid me.
That's good!
But... in all seriousness... don't get over-confident.
I would say that more than half of the women I've known who have been in abusive relationships were just the sort to say what you said here. The "I don't take any shit from anybody and never ever would" type... in my experience... find themselves in abusive relationships more than the stereotyped "meek, submissive' type. I'm not tryiing to say anything excpt... that it really really can happen to anyone.
Quite often (but by no means always) Abusive relationships start off as intense amazing relationships.
The first 1-5 months... it's often whirlwind of being swept off your feet. It often looks (and feels) at first, like genuinely falling in love. There are just... some signs that are not always easy to spot.
But that's why women often don't leave the FIRST time they are abused in an unmistakably clear way. (being hit, for example).
It's not some random abstract imaginary boyfriend who just hit you...(it's easy to walk out on that guy)
The guy who just hit you is the same one who... you have fallen in "love" with. The same one who has been so good to you over the past few months. THe guy who has made the last few months the happiest of your life. So when the day after hitting you he is all apologies, and back to his old sweet self... it's not as cut-and-dry "I would never stay with a man who hit me".
Nearly every woman who ends up in an abusive relationship DID consider herself one of those who wouldn't ever allow it to happen. I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's just... being tough is no protection.
