Search Results: hanging up on a girlfriend

Hi girlfriend beats him up: slaps him, has bruised him, kicks him, etc...
she also tries to control whom he hangs it with and gets very violent when things don’t go her way and she manipulated him quite a lot into getting her way... she was also throwing things around in his house the other day and opening up his mail that was adressed to him without asking him...

his friends hve stopped hanging out with him and his parents hve told him to break up with her but he still hasn’t...

he continues to see her and have her over at his house with his parents and continues to do things to please her... like buying a Christmas treee that she asked him for, for example, yet I always hear and hve heard and seen their fights and how he claims not to be able to handle her...

so why why is he still with her and still continuing his abusive relationship with this woman?

So my boyfriend has been my best friend for 5 years. In high school we dated for about 2 years. Then we broke up for 2 years. Now we've been dating for almost a year again. Best friends through it all, and friends with benefits for a while.

But I just found out I'm high school he cheated on me for a few months before breaking up with me. And he then basically dated the girl for that summer when we were broken up. They were just talking, hanging out, and kissing on the cheek. This girl became my friend once we broke up and was like the main one I leaned on and who supported me through the break up, me never knowing. I suspected he was with another girl but he would never tell me who. After all this time I just found out this month, and we talked through it and everything. I can forgive them, but I don't know if I can get over it and forget it. It sucks bc this relationship we've had now has been amazing, much better than when we were young and dumb, we've been really happy and healthy. I don't want to give that up for something that happened a long time ago, but I can't trust him now (i already have trust issues from childhood trauma!) And i don't want to be that toxic girlfriend who always goes through his phone, i hate that. But that's how I found out, because I suspected it still and it still hurt not knowing and he let me go through his phone so I found out. But since he lied to me for so long it just makes me sick to think it barely affects him now and he never would've told me. Also back then, they broke it off bc he never stopped loving me and realized he never liked her like that he'd just think of me, and he broke his heart talking to other guys. So I don't know. What would you do in my situation?
