i saw your column and i noticed you give very good advice so i thought i'd ask you. im 16 years old and my boyfriend and i have been together for 2 years almost. he's just now turning 19 btw. anyway, lately he's been really verbal towards me in a bad way. he gets mad and yells, he even threw my phone at one point. i didn't think anything about it at the time, just that he was mad but i noticed that it's kinda becoming a habit. everytime we fight it becomes more and more drastic and i dont know what to do. i've tried talking to him about it, and he doesnt understand. he's never hit me before or anything like that, but that's what im afraid is gonna happen. he scares me, and i can't live with knowing that im scared of my own boyfriend, that i love. im sorry this is kinda long, but do you know anything i can do, or even say to help? thanks <33

This is a very serious situation that you are in (which i can assume you already know). You seem like a very smart girl for 16. But i know that when you have loved someone for that long...you never want to let them go. However, this is a time where your heart may have to be broken, on your call. This guy is having very serious rages (probably due to puberty) and you need to get away fast. This may save your life. If he has progressed this much, then he will continue to until he regrets what he has done...and you are the one who pays the price. Just think. He is one person you do care about and i know right now that he may seem to be the world to you. But you won't have a world if this isn't ended. There are other people that love you and this is the time for them to prove their love for you. Do the right thing and then go to them for shelter. I strongly believe that this guy (from what i have read) will get more angry then ever if you tell him its over. I think you need to sit down with him and tell him. But make sure there are people in the other room for your protection. All this guy has to do is come to his breaking point, and i believe it's close. So I hope this helps you. And there is more to life than just this one guy...think about your future and all of the other people who care for you. My sn on AIM is garrettg2006 if you need more help. Alright thanx for coming to me. IM me anytime. [ Ghelp's advice column | Ask Ghelp A Question ]
