I had an ex that beat the crap out of me too. Luckily someone was diving by and saw the whole thing and got out of his car and beat the crap out of my ex. That was how I got away. Before he beat me I was always walking on eggshells as he had also tried to slit my throat in his parent's apartment when they weren't home. That was when I thought I had to get away, but I was trying to do it slowly and carefully so he wouldn't be hurt and try anything else.When he put the butcher knife towards my neck I had to say I love you so he wouldn't push it in my neck anymore. There were also several other incidents, too many to mention. I lived close to his house and couldn't get away from him, I don't even remember how I got rid of him, but I remember passing the church where he was being married at the same time I was walking by. BOY WAS I EVER HAPPY!!!I had tried to get him to stay away, and he must have understood it and got a new girlfriend. Well that's my story, it's true, but Unbelievable but it is true.
