Is it normal to be afraid to leave an abusive relationship

I have my boyfriend now that is very aggrassive. He's beaten his mother and his ex girlfriends. He gets mad about every single thinh and always thinks im lying. He threatened me today he swore on his grandfathers grave if I lie or cheat he's gonna ruin my life the thing is, is that even if i dont do those things he's gonna think otherwise because he believes only the things he wants to believe. Now im so scared to leave the relationship.

    It's perfectly normal to be afraid, but the relationship itself is NOT normal. You're in danger and it can only get worse: get out while you can unless you want to become another statistic

    You certainly aren't unique in this.
    A a guy, I can't for the life of me I can't understand how a woman can allow this to continue, but as I said it's very common.
    Depending on where you live, there may be some very strong support systems in place to help you get away from this guy. I'd be checking out anything which could help.
    Any guy that hits a woman is nothing but a shit eating coward and they usually run from a fight with someone as powerful as they are.
    I would make every effort to get out asap, as I don't see things as getting better, only worse.

    Anybody would be afraid in this situation. You just have to be strong. I don't mean physically, but mentally. You are very capable of leaving him and having a better life. This is why we have police because it's their job to protect you. I would definitely recommend getting the law involved. Leave and never look back.

    Run, find aplace to hide for a while and gain the strength to face him, when you do finally face him make sure you have back up, usually when he sees you strong he'll back down, take time to yourself before you get into another relationship as a rebound can be just as bad. Be strong I did it.

    The only thing preventing you from leaving him is YOU.

    Find a way to get out of it and get away. Do what you have to do, whatever it takes. Try and get some help from social services or police. Good luck.

    You hear about this all the time and I just don't ever understand why anyone would put up with this kind of bullshit. This is not normal, he's not going to change, do yourself a favor and leave him by the curb like the piece of trash he is. No self respecting man would ever hit a woman, any man who abuses a female is a coward and nothing more than a waste of air.

    Leave now! Just run far, far away and don't ever look back. Leave his sorry ass before he really hurts you! ):

  • Leave him and dont look back. Tell the authorities if you have to and find a good guy that will kick his ass.

    For future referance the best way to judge a person is how they treat others, because that is how they will treat you. Never expect exceptions. If someone doesnt let you meet their friends and family, they are probably not someone who is a good idea to associate. A good person will intruduce you to people who have good things to say about them.
