At the same time, I would never had forgiven myself if I had ever laid a hand on her. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness I eventually had the good sense to pack my bags and leave. I later met a woman who healed many of my hurts simply by being a good woman who carried herself well and was secure enough in herself that she felt no need to belittle anyone else.<BR/><BR/>Whether you are male or female - if the relationship is such that your self confidence is being undermined or there is a steady stream of debilitating comments coming your way, then you need to get out of it. And if you have been physically struck by your partner, realize the time to get out is NOW, not later.

I used to work in a domestic violence shelter, and it broke my heart to see wonderful women remain in relationships with abusive men because they thought that was the only kind of love they could get or the only kind of love they deserved.<BR/><BR/>Women, if your man is hurting you, he's not worth the dirt under your feet. Give him his walking papers and find someone who will treat you right. This is excellent advice!
