Anyone been in a relationship where there was physical abuse and stayed? Please be honest

Question

There are often some factors ppl don’t leave. Like children, finances no family around etc

Answer

He never hit me, but he did try to suffocate me with a pillow and held me against the door by my neck. I left. With our daughter

Answer

Yes, I’m embarrassed to admit it too, because I was always one to say that I would never tolerate any type of abuse. Eventually, I realized that that wasn’t okay and left. But I did take time to work on myself and grow to love myself. Knowing what I know now and since meeting my now husband I wouldn’t tolerate it again. I will have self respect for myself. I wish you the best of luck in your situation.

Answer

I'd never tolerate any abuse. I'd take myself, my child and leave it all behind.

Answer

I stayed for little bit then I got the courage up to leave

Answer

It’s hard, not all situations are the same and not all abusers are the same. Some think it’s just one hit and you should leave, but sometimes they work on you to the point where you have absolutely nothing, no connection to the outside world to even save yourself, and then the abuse happens. Sometimes it’s not just one hit, sometimes it’s a 250+ guy holding you down beating on you when you’re only 130 pounds yourself. It’s so easy to say it’s easy to get out and not allow it to ever even happen, but it isn’t. It’s not like we rather a life of abuse, more so we were never given the tools of red flags to catch it beforehand. 
Biggest recommendation, stuff is material it’s going to hurt when you feel so vulnerable but you need to talk to a shelter, most cities have shelters for abused woman, where people will help you get out, they will work on you once you do get out. You’re not alone. You just need to grab whatever strength you still have left and make that leap because we all deserve to be safe. You’re never alone and it’s not your fault, even if it takes you a 100 tries and years and years, YOU deserve to be safe!

Answer

Yes. When I was younger I was in a couple and I stayed for a while. In hindsight I was young and immature and I definitely wouldn’t ever stay in one again.

Answer

My sister. She stayed for two years afterwards. No kids between them. Is still in denial about what happened (even though there are witnesses) and is still “very close friends” with the monster.

Answer

I wasn’t physically abused but the emotional and mental abuse was abundant. It took me a long time to leave

Answer

Yes, hit, pinned me down, pinched, spit on, slapped, had objects and a wooden chair thrown at me and my head...

Answer

I stayed for a few years but one day it became to much and I left.. it was hard and you have to be careful leaving but it’s worth it
