Been in an abusive relationship? Could be violence, emotional, or anything else. Voting will be private. When I was 16 I dated this one guy Jesse he would throw things around whenever we got into a fight, and he would yell at me. He never hit me, but I could tell he waited to. Later I found out that he was dating this other girl I went to school with after we broke up. He use to tell her while they was having sex how fat she was, and other nasty things. Seems like this guy was just a real jerk.
Have you ever....

I think it's all in the attitude. I had the presence of mind to end the relationships once I realized there was a problem, and I didn't let it ruin my perception of men or what a relationship should be.

My marriage was an emotionally abusive relationship where he held me emotional hostage for years - it got to the point in which he moved us out in the middle of nowhere Montana to isolate me from my family. My decisions were tainted by 'how will he take it?' and 'what would it do to him?'; never 'this is killing my soul'.
It backfired. Living with just him made me realize what was going on. I divorced him and never looked back.

I've been very lucky with my relationships, and I feel for those who haven't been so lucky.

My sister's last boyfriend ended up going off of his meds because she felt like he was more "there" without them. Then he ended up becoming a drunk and getting into fights with her all the time. First it was just throwing stuff, then aiming it at her, then using his fists. Personally, though, the most abuse I've gotten is a guy telling me I should wear red lipstick because it's hotter than wearing no makeup.

Thankfully not yet
07/30/2011
yes

Yes, I have, when I was younger (in my younger teens, I am now 26)

I had a sex partner who started treating me like shit after a while. It did some serious emotional damage even though I neevr really had feelings beyond friendship for him. :/

No!
A guy won't last long around here if there's even a hint of violence on his behalf. I won't tolerate that!

Thankfully I haven't, and I consider myself very lucky. I've had a handful of friends who were, though. It was terrible to watch them go through it, but they were able to get out and as far as I know they're all in healthy long term relationships now.

I've been in an emotionally abusive relationship once, tried to make things work a bit and get him some help (as he started using drugs which was why it started), but left when an argument got bad enough that I thought he was about to hit me once. I wouldn't have tolerated any of it, but we had a kid together, and I was hoping he could get clean and get himself together. As it was, I didn't stick around very long after that shit started, as it quickly became clear he didn't want to get clean.

Too many to count. It's a shame that anyone has to say yes to that, but it happens and sometimes we're just too afraid or don't know how to stop it. I got out of mine and I hope more men and women realize the signs of abuse and learn to put a stop to it before it gets so far it's inescapeable.

i was in an abusive relationship for three years in high school. mostly verbal and mental, but one day i got stuck with a butterfly knife and i knew it was just too much for me.
now, i'm glad for the experience in the sense that i learned how to sniff those bastards out quick. not that anyone ever listens when i tell them they're with an abuser.

Our relationship was rather unhealthy for a while when she was not being faithful, but it's an emotional hurt, not physical. I image it would be very hard for me. My cousin went through an abusive relationship that he had to call off due to her psychological problems. He really liked her but couldn't live with her.
01/04/2012
nope, and I hope I never will be in one.

All these stories sound awful. Hugs to everyone!

I dated a girl whom I let manipulate me and then she stalked me. That's close enough in my book.

not one of my choosing
06/04/2012
Maybe. I say this, because I'm not sure how I feel about it, especially because it ended so recently. I think I may have found myself in a few emotionally abusive situations, and now in retrospect, I'm able to better put them into perspective.
06/04/2012
I'm not really sure anymore... I know many people have been in way worse situations and I feel weird calling it abusive, but my ex would tell me what I could and couldn't wear, get upset when I wore anything revealing, and tell me that dressing that way made it harder for him to love me. It wasn't until I got into a better relationship that I realized the contrast between situations, how controlling he'd been and how horrible he'd made me feel about myself.
