Question Posted Thursday September 23 2004, 12:07 pm
i have a problem with my ex boyfriend.... when i was going out with him he hit me a few times.... twisted my arm and hurt my side and i have bruses from him.... but lately i have been with him more and more and then last nite he kissed me and he told me that he loved me still... i don't know what to do?
Sunshine answered Friday September 24 2004, 5:13 am: If he's done it once he'll do it again. If you go back to him after he hit you, then you're giving him permission to do it again. If he really loved you, he would have never hit you in the first place.
I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but this comes from personal experience. My ex-boyfriend yelled at me alot and one day he pushed me against the wall. He apologized and said he loved me, and I forgave him because he hadn't technically hit me. About a month later, we got into an argument and he slapped me across the face. I lost it, and I punched him as hard as I could, and broke his nose.
Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that you should hit him, but you shouldn't allow yourself to be abused. I should have recognized the potential for abuse the first time he shoved me, but I didn't. I chose not to allow myself to remain a victim, and you can make that choice too.
You deserve someone who will treat you with the respect that you deserve. [ Sunshine's advice column | Ask Sunshine A Question ]

He can say whatever he wants, but that doesn't change the fact that he hit you when ya'll were going out.If he hit you in your relationship before, what makes you think he won't do it again? I don't think you should go back into an abusive realtionship. But hey~ follow your heart! Good Luck, 'n Hope I helped!

Roxybabii922 answered Thursday September 23 2004, 12:51 pm: if he hurts you then maybe you should take a break from him, or talk to him about it, ask him about it... be like "if you love me then why do you hit me, to be honest it really hurts" or something lol [ Roxybabii922's advice column | Ask Roxybabii922 A Question ]
CoN_BoN answered Thursday September 23 2004, 12:32 pm: So he may have SAID he loves you... However you can't forget what he did to you. If he abused you once, it's likely that he'll do it again. Don't put yourself in this situation. I have heard of girls who have gotten murdered by their boyfriends. Maybe your ex has changed... but there's no guarantee he won't hurt you again.

BeautifulLiarMM answered Thursday September 23 2004, 12:11 pm: you should buy him some cake and he should buy you lunch for a change and you should be happy and tell him he's fat and no one likes him
jbdreamer answered Thursday September 23 2004, 12:10 pm: He may love you, but that won't stop him from hurting you again. Don't go back to an abusive realtionship, put this man in your past. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]
