To cut a long story short,. I've been in a long distance relationship with a guy that i am absolutely, head over heels in love with. I have even thought at times that he is the one and if i ended the relationship, i would live to regret it. When things are good, it's incredible, like nothing I've ever felt. But when it's bad, it leaves me confused and so down. Everything has been perfect except for this..... He has physically hurt me on three occasions out of the seven times we have met. (Can't meet often due to serious long distance!) The first time, it was a push to the floor, the second time, he threw me down the stairs and the third and worst time, (hard to explain) but he slammed a door on me and left me black and blue. Each time, he has been drunk and very remorseful. I know everyone who replied will say i need to get out. I'm sitting her because I'm devastated and i cant stop crying. I want to spend my life with him and i love him but i cant be attacked. Can people change? Will it just get worse? I'm so in love. I know I'm being naive. But i know I'm a good person who always wants to see the best in people and i tend to block out the bad in them. I can't keep going round in my own head, I'm so anxious.
