I Have Been In An Abusive Relationship

This song remind me of how things were in my first marriage. I meet him when I was 18 and we got married when I was 20. He was very abusive in most every way possible. Yet he always claimed he loved me so much. He always said he would change. Which I always bought. Hoping things would change. I stayed for 8yrs. Around our 7th yr together I had a sudden realization that if he hadn't changed already in the time we had been together he was never going to change. I decided to find a way out. He always told me if I ever left him he would hurt me. And one time said he would kill me if I did. Finally I convinced him to go visit his parents, who were half way across the country. While he was there I called him and told him I was done, I wanted a divorce and to never mind coming back home. I'm glad I made it out. I just wish I had done it much sooner.

Wow, I'm so very glad you saw what was happening and that got out with that story you told!! Great job, gf! Wow!!

And what a powerful, haunting video! To have things flying without seeing a man throwing them...I couldn't stop watching it! Incredible for how many years ago it was made. Oh, 2009..
Good for You, You got out before it got worse. I'm happy You realised there was never going to be a change 🤗 and made a decision.

Good to know that you ended it. He won't.
Old habits die hard. Habitual abuse rarely stops.

That sounds like a rough journey.
