NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. NO ONE, NO ONE CAN PUT A KNIFE TO YOUR THROAT AND YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT. It doesnt matter if you dont want to break up with him, if you don't, you'll probably end up dead or seriously injured, and then it's your own fault. Get out while you can. Go to a police station or a shelter and TELL THEM.
karenR answered Saturday May 21 2005, 3:16 pm: Smart idea is to get the hell away from this guy. Only takes one time to kill you my dear. Most abusers have days when they are sweet as candy. Doesn't make up for the other times. Get away before you get hurt...or worse.
What can you do if you don't want to break up? Walk on egg shells all the time and wonder if today is your last everyday. Sorry but that is the way it will be. Good luck. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
VanityScore answered Saturday May 21 2005, 2:29 pm: Break up with him, and if he threatens to do anything threaten to call the police. Carry your cellphone with you at all times!! This creep shouldn't be tolerated. If you want to get him into trouble for what he's done, or are afraid he will do something to you, call the police.
And I'm sorry you still have feelings for him, and don't want to break up with him... but do you really want to set yourself up for that? What if you get hurt? And I'm not just talking about him breaking your heart... [ VanityScore's advice column | Ask VanityScore A Question ]

i_define_weird answered Friday May 20 2005, 7:16 pm: ......dump him. Any guy that threatens you, doesn't deserve to go out w/ you. This isn't a love relationship, it's more like....um....i dont know. A very weak relationship. You shouldn't torture yourself by going out w/ someone you're scared of. Even if you really like him... holding a knife to your throat is way past the limit. My opinion is that you should dump him. good luck && hope i helped. [ i_define_weird's advice column | Ask i_define_weird A Question ]
sourpatchkids379 answered Friday May 20 2005, 5:28 pm: I know it seems like you might love him not but you are ONLY 16! If he is threating you then you need to get out of there and get out of there FAST! This will sound gay but if you are really scared, which i would be if i were in your postion, talk to someone about it... other then him. If he keep harassing you after you break up i would either talk to your consolers or principal and if it gets worse consider a restraining order. Good luck.

helpful_jess answered Friday May 20 2005, 2:27 pm: well to be honist your walking into your own coffin im not tryna be nasty but you say you dont no what to do and that you dont wana break up i can see where your coming from you just think oh its a miss understanding he wont do that again its was a mistake and he loves me well just to say if it is all the things you think it is then why did he put a knife to your throat your aloud to say your own opinion and just think what was the argument about in the first place what did you say that made him act like that im sure it couldnt have been that bad and if he can threten you like that once he can do it again and perhaps next time he wont be so willing it could end up serious and you could get hurt personley i think you should get out of there , there is no reason for a man to treat a women that way or behave in that kind of anger, but if you dont take my advice and you decide to stay with him and that he wont do anything like that ever again cause he loves you so much then its up to you but if you do, do that and he ends up geting vilant with you and he ends up hiting you or even something worse then i suggest u take my advice at that time that would be the time to get out if he can hit you once then HE WILL HIT YOU AGAIN!!!

CCubb08 answered Friday May 20 2005, 2:08 pm: You are crazy if you stay with him!Noone should be threatening you like that, especially one that claims to love you!Thats just crazy! Noone deserves to be treated like that. [ CCubb08's advice column | Ask CCubb08 A Question ]
loser1028 answered Friday May 20 2005, 1:49 pm: well...let's just say your stupid for not breaking up with him. i could kind of understand a little bit if he only did it once (which he did) and then you talked about it and he promised sincerely he was sorry and stuff for doing it... but if you talked to him about if and he just told you that you were stupid then you should definately break up with him. maybe he secretly wants you to break up with him and just feels bad doing it to you. so instead he threatens your life. anyway if he does it again then def. break up with him or just break up with him now. if he tries to go after you after you break up then get a restraining order.

swab answered Friday May 20 2005, 11:49 am: you should break up with him and have charges brought against him for threatning your life. and find someone better than him. [ swab's advice column | Ask swab A Question ]
alisonmarie answered Friday May 20 2005, 11:20 am: Anyone who puts a knife to your throat is threatening your life. Anyone who threatens your life is not mentally stable. Anyone who threatens your life does not genuinely love you.
Everyone fights, and if you feel you can't express your opinion you could be moving into dangerous territoy. This could become a hugely abusive relationship - if it isn't already. This means that you live in fear of being yourself. You have to choose between being yourself and risking violence or hiding yourself to make your boyfriend happy.
Relationships ending are always tough, but you deserve someone who will treat you with respect. The only way you will find that person is to treat YOURSELF with respect.
You are not stupid.
You are being abused.
It's not your fault.
You can help yourself.
If you really resist the idea of breaking up with him and ending this abusive relationship, then your only real option is to demand that he get professional help. There is free counselling available for teenagers almost everywhere, and if he isn't willing to accept responsibilty, you need to end things with him.
Van_10 answered Friday May 20 2005, 10:47 am: hi there
well i am so sorry for your heart ache, first of all i wouldnt say he isnt a good boyfriend
since you've been together for two years, has it occured he has certain issues that needs resolving .
could be a temper , which could be with his family, try talking to him, it could be that hw wants to be in control and controlling you in that situation makes him feel good , i am not sure but this is just a perception
i would say try talking to him, to find out inside what is wrong with him, which could be related to him past maybe he has an anger problem
it seems that you love him, try talking to him, because you don't want to get married to him and finds out his bad behaviour worsen
Baylee answered Friday May 20 2005, 10:14 am: Okay that sounds like a wife beater when he grows up. Why would you still like him if he pulled a knife on you hello that is dumb thing to do. If my boyfriend ever pulled a knife at my throat I would punch him in the face and plus things always start out little and then they get big dont stick around next time could be more serios and alot worse. Sure he says he was joking but maybe not would you rather stay with him and be afriad for your life or have fun with somebody else think about it that is pretty bad. People who threaten people end up doing something they will regret dont stick around you can get hurt [ Baylee's advice column | Ask Baylee A Question ]
