Hi everyone. I am 26 years old, as well as my boyfriend. We've been together since we were 16 years old, and we have lived our lives together since then. My boyfriend has a history of rageful episodes since his childhood, Choosing to stay in this relationship has basically torn me apart and has broken me. Please don't shame me for what I'm about to ask: but, is it okay for me to want to work through these issues? Is it okay for me to want us to each go to therapy separately, then couple's counseling? The obvious thing is to want to leave, and I do. But, I have so many other feelings like wanting to work through things and I feel like I am wrong for that. Am I weak for this?
