should I move on?

I was in a relationship for almost a year about 2 weeks shy. during this relationship my boyfriend was abusive and broke my rib on one occasion and left tons of other bruises other times. he always said sorry and I believed him bc I knew he had mental problems. he told me how he wanted to get married and have kids. when I became pregnant on accident we decided to get an abortion bc we didn’t have the money to raise another child. about 2 months later I had an initial herpes outbreak and he said he didn’t have anything and wasn’t cheating on me so we just agreed not to blame it on either one of us bc we didn’t know. we fought about petty things bc of stress and broke up one time for a week and got back together. we were together a few months after that and one night we had a bad fight over petty things again and we split up. I regretted everything as it was happening and just wanted to be with him. We have been split for a month now and i felt I was my happiest with him he seems like he wants nothing to do with me anymore and I cant bring myself to just say good bye. I love him and still want to be with him, I don’t know if I should move on.

    He gave you herpes, has broken a rib and abused you before. Why would you want him back. You need some self confidence and hang out with your friends if he hasnt pushed them away already and enjoy life a little.

    He broke your rib and you don’t know if you should move on?? Yes sister, move on to a therapist and don’t look back and stay away from relationships until you are confident enough to be in a safe, sane and stable one. Good luck

    Your relationship with him is not healthy, it is abusive, and you don’t deserve it.

    It is time to move on. Make sure that you seek out healthy relationships in the future, demand respect. Having a broken rib is not okay.

    please seek help. you need to be your own person and gain some confidence.

  6. If you stay with him, next time, it might not be a rib; it may just something more serious.

    Leave him, he’s not even worth it. Any man who doesn’t treat you with respect, doesn’t deserve her.

    Girl trust me you should move on, I guess when you figure that the time is right you will. Once the hitting starts it never stops… I’ve been with the same person for a number of years on and off. And it was always the same thing, when it happened it was always it’ll never happen again. For a number of years it did indeed stop, but I guess some men can’t control themselves last week I got a slap and a punch in the face. That one was a first, it instantly got black and blue, needless to say I got my last punch and slap. I guess if you’re like me you probably feel like you can’t live without the said person, but sweetie trust me life goes on and you’ll find that person out there that’s for you… It’ll be hard but you can do it. But only when you’re ready.

    love dosnt hurt. if he loved you, he wouldnt hurt you. i know he keeps saying sorry, but it doest matter, he’ll keep hurting you. you are worth so much more than that. i know, because i lived it.

    ask yourself…if this was happening to your daughter, mother, bestfriend, would you let it go on? i know you “love” him, but there are so many many other men out there that will treat you like the princess that you are. rightnow,you are young and he is your life and you cant imagine living with out him. but please, take the advice left here. if you need help there are people who will help you. i got the help from WAVE (women agains violent environment), YWCA/YMCA usually can easily direct you to help. it is soooo much easier when you are around supportive people who know what you are going through. please seek out the help you need.
