The abused partner refuses to leave, hoping and praying that everything will turn out fine in due time. But if and when the abused partner does leave, she will ask herself why didn't she try to leave earlier? In my case, I left my wife 4 years ago after 30 years of marriage. It was like a breath of fresh air for both of us! It is very hard to break off from a relationship, especially with children involved.

He has a serious addiction to porn and checking out every girl in the world. He says he loves me and he is just a man and he can't help himself. I think it's a load of BS. I just wanted to say that I am having a hard time getting him to leave because he keeps giving me the guilt treatment, and I keep letting him. I am desperate to get him out of my life but sharing a child together complicates that aswell. I wish I had the courage to leave and to stop feeling guilty about our daughter, I meen I have raised her alone basically he never does anything .

I began going to church with him and made many friends. The relationship became unhealthy so quickly and I had so many warnings, but stayed because I believed it was the Christian thing to do. I was wrong. God does not want us to suffer emotional abuse from anyone. I found I could go back to that church, hold my head high and I had nothing to be ashamed of. I was a beautiful, loving human being who deserved to be treated with respect, honor, and decency. I longed to be in a relationship with a spiritually

I was never in a physically abusive relationship, but I was in a relationship that I just knew in my heart was toxic. It took a while for me to finally remove myself from the situation because it became so comfortable. It was tough at first, but after a while I was happy again and realized it was the best choice that I could have ever made. It is tough to do, but well worth it.

You have to recover for quite awhile before you will be whole enough to enter back into a relationship.
