You get fatter, and crueler, I sink deeper into self loathing. Id give the world to you, you will take it and turn your back on me. This will last for the rest of our lives, because I am too much of a weakling to leave your fucking ass.

Oh god, get the “It may not be true but…” crowd ready.
Have some self confidence child! If you were told to spend the rest of your life wimpering in a corner with someone towering over you, WOULD you? You only have one life to live, and I would cry if I found out you decided to put up with this monster. Go to Byrony or Adsum and get on with your life! People like this don’t matter. And for the record, you are not pathetic, he has turned your outer skin pathetic. Inside is a strong, brave person, that has been shrunk from fear. You just need to empower yourself and let that inner person out. You can do it OP!
DTMFA.
You can’t truly love another person until you learn to love yourself. You are dependent on this pig and would rather stay than face the big ol’ scary world. It’s not nearly as scary as you think and there are plenty of options opened to you.
You really should see a therapist and address your self-esteem issues.
This is a pathetic post, crying out for sympathy. True or Not this person is “Choosing” to stay with the jack-ass that make them feel like a piece of shit. So be it then…no one can change the situation your in but you. So don’t expect others to feel bad for you if your not willing to help yourself.
So by posting your situation online….has it helped you at all or are people only telling you what common sense should?
the only person letting you down is you. your choice to stay is the problem. you allowing others to treat you that way is the problem. you not getting help is the problem. see you are your problem.
Enough. Some people genuinely cannot leave their situation, no matter how difficult it may be. Have you ever thought that OP may have kids, and is staying with said abuser for the sake of the children? Or, some people are cornered into a hole out of intimidation, and face threats if attempts to leave the relationship are made. The only way out is either an emergency call or restraining order. These situations are hairier than they seem.
Dino Jr are you kidding me? Staying for the sake of the children? If there are children in this situation then OP needs a swift kick in the ass. That would be the number one reason to leave. There are always places to go and people to help for people of abused relationships. Call the cops DO SOMETHING! So I stand by what I said. You can only help someone if they are willing to help themselves and using children as an excuse to stay in the relationship only makes you sounds stupid. Stand up dust yourself off and get out. If you CHOOSE to stay…and not do anything about it…tell me what does OP expect?
I thought the OP was a man. Can I get some confirmation on that?
