Healthy relationships

Sex & Trust

Self-esteem

If you are abusive

What Happened:
At first i thought it was love but after the first 6 months the respect i thought my boyfriend had for me was lost. Each day he humiliated me in front of my friends and treated me as his "bitch" - his words exactly. i was so deeply in love that i didn't want to lose him. My friends constantly nagged me to get rid of him but after being with the same person for over a year you kind of feel attached or something. The things he did to me were worse than bad, his temper was very short and at times he pushed me and hesitated to hit me, but just because his punches never conected to me doesn't mean he didn't put me through hell. Each day 'shut up you don't know what you're talking about', or 'look at her she is dressed like a tart'. I wasn't allowed to wear skirts or go out with my friends or even communicate with his and my male friends. He became a over protective jealous violent boyfriend who also managed to make me feel very self consicous about myself.

How the situation changed:
After a year and a half i have learnt no matter which guy it is always care about yourself and don't let no guy ever run your life you are who you are and believe in yourself.
