Ever in an abusive relationship?

I thankfully have never been in an abusive relationship, but I know people who have been. From some family and friends. A good friend of mine was abused right in front of me and a few other friends. I wish back then I would have said something. But I didn't know how to broach the subject. My friend put up with it, but he broke up with her not too long after.

With that being said, how did you come out of an abusive relationship? Did you get through it fine?
 
I unfortunately have been in an abusive relationship. It wasn't so much physical abuse but mental abuse, and I suffered for 11 years before I was able to speak out and get help to get out.

I have now been out of that situation for 10 years this past February and I couldn't be happier with the life I have with my kids now :)
 
I never had experienced in an abusive relationship. In case, I experience it there is no reason to sacrifice, I have to junk the man. I have to stick to my decision to feel happy and in full freedom.

Sad to hear this, but thankfully I’ve never been in an abusive relationship, but I understand how deeply damaging it can be. I’ve read many stories and spoken with people who’ve experienced it, and it’s clear that support, awareness, and safe spaces are crucial for healing.
 
One thing i have come to understand is that there are different ways a person can be abused, some persons might not be in a physically abusive relationship but they might be abused emotionally or mentally.
 
I had been a long long time ago. I've learned from that experience and very happy to say the boyfriend I have now is amazing and it's honestly the healthiest relationship I've ever had.

I'm sorry to hear you went through that, but I am so glad you were able to get out of it. Mental abuse can be just as bad as any form abuse.

That's the sad truth, and some people will use all forms of abuse against someone to take control of their lives.

I'm glad you are in a healthy relationship now. :)
 
I dated a guy that was verbally abusive. I actually loved the guy because he supported my dreams. But this guy didn't waste time to call me unprintable names when we have a small misunderstanding. With time, I was already low on self esteem. It took me time to let the relationship go but I finally did when my mental health was clearly in danger.

Thank you! So am I =) It's an amazing feeling knowing that he treats me right and has best intentions.

Yes i have heard about so many cases of people who have been abused mentally and emotionally by the words their partners say to them from time to time. Some people are in such relationships but are not even aware of this.
