For everyone saying "I'd never let a man do this to me": abusive relationships don't start this way. It's a build up of someone being manipulated into trusting someone, and the manipulation continues and the abusee doesn't realize they're being abused because they've already built a trust with the abuser. And when they do come to terms with being abused, there's often something tying them to their abuser so they can't "just leave," such as financial reasons, children, housing, and legal reasons that could hurt them more than the abuser. My heart goes out to all victims of domestic violence, women and children and men too. Y'all are stronger than you know.

You don't hurt the person you love.

The only time you should raise your hand to your partner is if you’re giving them a high five

Let's pray for everyone who are on this kind of relationship. And also, let's hope that they'll find the strength to leave as soon as possible. :'(

It’s not just physical abuse it’s mental and that doesn’t heal sometimes! Abusers are nothing more than bully’s with low self esteem.

My mom was married to her first husband for 6 months.  She left the night he hit her once -- ONCE!!  She packed up and left!!  He did everything he could to get her back, but she said, "NO" , and filed for divorce.  She was my role model!  She always said, "Don't EVER let a man define you or put their hands on you."  I think my dad was a bit afraid of her.  Lol!  Because of her, I married my best friend and life partner -- 42 years now!  We need more women like my mom!

That girls vanity is more organised than my life.

I've gotten to the dark and sad part of YouTube again.. damnit

THIS IS NOT LOVE

I stayed in a abusive relationship for 5 years. It probably took a year for him to put his hands on me, and I was so "in love" that I was always blaming myself. I ended up cutting off all my friendships because whenever I spent time with friends, I somehow ended up being abused by him. I was hiding the bruises and hurt from my parents because I didn't want them to call the cops or get him in trouble. I completely cut everybody off and was stuck in a position where all I had was him. New Years Eve, we went to a party and I was sitting there talking to an old friend, and later in the night my boyfriend asked "why were you guys whispering"? and i replied that we were not whispering, we were just having a conversation. He had been drinking, which made him mean and even more abusive. We talked in the car, and he hit me upside the head a couple times and hit me in the face. My nose started bleeding, and he locked the doors as soon as I tried getting out of the car to go back inside to get help. He drove off, and left the party and I spent all night being verbally and physically abused. He took me back to his house, and made me sleep on the floor with no pillows, no blankets. Eventually everything calmed down, and he fell asleep after thinking I was asleep. I left, and never looked back. My heart hurts for people who are abused and can't find a way to get out of it. You are worth so much more.

rip to all the people who had there head phones on and loud when she slammed the glass cutting board

She opens the jewel box because it reminds her of her childhood, her parents and her family. Remembering the wonderful life she had before being with him. You always have to have something that calms you down after such abuse. I keep my parents photo permanently in my top drawer to remember the wonderful life i had before the storm I am in. It's not easy to leave

Wife beaters are nothing but cowards. Why don't they try beating up a 6 foot 200lb. man instead. I wish that I had a beautiful, loving, caring wife like that.

Looks like an interesting video but volume is extremely low.

My abuse ended with a bullet, abuser died. Don't let it get this far.

Love shouldn't hurt.People don't understand unless they have been there

The only issues I have with this are the super unconvincing acting and the voiceover parts...

My stomach was doing flip flops and my heart was in my throat the entire time watching this. I left an abusive relationship almost two years ago. It wasn’t physically abusive but abuse is abuse not matter what kind.

This brought tears to my eyes.. Reminds me of when my father would beat my mom..  Words cant describe the sorrow.. If youre in a violent relationship or abusive relationship, leave it..

I finally got away 20 years ago. It didn’t start horrible, scary, demeaning. He was loving, caring, playful, gentle, supportive. Then so very slowly began the control . So sneaky & sly you don’t even see it. Then, the put downs on a bad day..flowers & dinner to apologize. Then the put downs become shoves, shoves become slaps, slaps become..well you already know. Even begin blaming yourself with “ well if I made it the way he wanted” or “I should have asked before doing the wash” or “ I should’ve just told my mom to call earlier in the day”. You really don’t see it coming. Then it’s almost too late.
