Please leave now, because if you stay it will become worse. The hitting will become punching and kicking. I'm married and i have a child with an abusive man. I don't know if i'll ever have the courage to leave him, since i'm already in so deep but i encourage you to leave while you're still in the early stages. You can do better, you can find a nice decent man who treats you with respect. I thought my guy was great but as you get further in to a relationship it becomes worse and worse. He now beats me horribly and i have no way out. Please leave him
