Why do I stay when he consistently beats the heck outta me?

Plan. Find a women's shelter near you and listen to what they tell you.

Document. Take pictures of bruises and wounds. But be careful -don't leave any proof or information on your phone or in the house or car where he could find it.

Break the silence. Tell people you trust and who can keep their mouths shut about the abuse. Do not tell anybody who might tell their husband or boyfriend who might tell him.

Get a go-pack together, at least in your head, of things you will want to take when you go.

Don't leave this post or any conversation about it on your phone or computer.

You are very young. How many years do you want to spend in fear?

There are SOOOO many resources to help you leave. Message me and i can help. NO ONE deserves to live like that!!

Make a plan, do it quietly, and get out.
I don't even know you and am terrified for you.

Wtf...I am angered and saddened.

I think you need to make a plan, get your banking ready, and get out when he is at work. Go initially to a battered women's shelter, get a restraining order, get a new plan for a new place.

Break all ties with him & his buddies, etc.

And LEARN FROM THIS.

You have inherent worth as a human being. You don't deserve this.

You need to file police reports and get his ass in jail or prison...

You need to get out ASAP and report this to his superiors. It doesn't matter how respected he is. Many people may secretly envy him and that envy can be used to your advantage if you share dirt about him. I'm sure everyone would love to know that he's not so perfect after all and gloat about it. You MUST report this to his superiors so they know what's going on and can keep a tab on where he goes and what he does. Also, if he ends up stalking you, you can call his superiors or the emergency line and they can deal with it perhaps with the knowledge of the background. Just because he's a cop doesn't mean he's above the law.

Well if your smart you need to find a way to leave before he does more than just smash your face in and ends up killing you

You need to find help and you need to leave. But you don’t have to do it on your own

Update: I found out today that I'm pregnant . I've been really ill these past days and finally got around to visiting my doctor. I am here contemplating whether I should tell him but I'm afraid I will have to make a decision soon about leaving him.

I am outta my depths here because he mentioned earlier than he should take couple days off and drive up to his parents cabin which is at the other end of the state in a secluded area. He said he just wants to have some quiet time away but my mind is thinking something different.

You obviously aren’t scared because if you were you would run like my my mother, my sister and I did. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to walk into a police station with bruises to get a restraining order.,

I have seen many cases like this on TV and especially when the abuser is a cop it's very very very difficult to obtain protection and understand what you mean that no one will believe you and if you ran away from home I am assuming you don't have much family to help.
If you leave you must never let him know where you are never contact him again do not use social media, do not go anywhere that he will predict that you will go and I know that since hes a cop he has other methods to look you up.
Everyone else is correct that you should contact authorities report him I know this may anger him but you have to in order to potentially build a case in the future.
Contact women's advocacy groups they may have more ideas about how you can stay protected
Bless you

GET OUT WHILE YOU ARE STILL ALIVE..... YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT... HE IS NOT A MAN TO BEAT ON A WOMAN... EVER...

Contact @MamaGoneMad, despite her user name, she seems to know ways to get help and save yourself!

What will he do if you stay?

Call the Domestic Violence Hotline. 1-800-799-7233. They can help you get out of this.

No matter what you can't stay there long.
It wont do anything but get worse.

Get out while he is gone so he can't stop you.

Closed fist?

If you stay you will most likely die at his hand.
It is very difficult because protection orders don't really work well.
You must surround yourself with friends and family get away from him and buy yourself a weapon

You are not alone. I don’t know the answers. But I promise... you and your baby, are not alone. Please be careful.

I'd leave the city he's a cop in entirely.

relocate. There have to be organizations willing to help.

You don't have any friends or family that you can talk to about this?

make a plan
let friends and family help
leave him
and NEVER EVER EVER go back

uh. I dunno, but it sounds like you need to get stuff fixed

Misery if you stay. Misery if you go.

get the fk out of there

Arsenic.
