sweetie, i have been there and done that. deep inside you know your being treated bad but you've seen the "nice" side of this guy and you think if you hang in there, it will go back to the good days, and it does for a day or two, then the fighting again. it won't change. i know it hurts to hear that because i just got out of a 2 year relationship 3 days ago. don't get me wrong, it WILL hurt, but darlin, screw him!!! (not literally ha ha ha) as soon as the pain strts to go away, a sense of accomplishment and strength kicks in, then the loser wants YOU back, but by now, you've discovered that you don't need him, you don't need anyone!! Let's get through it together!! Take that first step, stop it!!!!
