Well me and my bf have been dating almost 6 months. The abuse started a couple of months ago. I've herd from people a befor we even started that he was abusive. But I told them that's he would never hit me. I've herd that he hit his ex gf but he said it was because she cheated. He said that would be the only reason he'd ever hit me is if I cheated on him. Well I have not cheated on him ever in our whe relationship. I'm not that kind of person I dont at games like that. Well I. The beginning of our relationship I could tell that he was controlling he would always ask where I was when we wernt together and look at my txt messages to my friends he. He startedto noted me see my friends because that would take out time together ven though w where together from sun up to sun down and nights during he weekend. He would always tell me he hated my friends cuz they dont like him ether but I told him that I'm not going to stop being friends wig my closest friends just because he didn't like them. I told him that I hated all of his friends cuz I do but I still deal with gem so that he can see them and not ditch them because of me. He won't ever let me do what I want to do duringthe day or he makes me feel bad about it and when I manage to go out and do something with out him he would call me and txt me non stop and eventually make me so fed up with him asking me how long I'm going to be or when I'm coming back I would just give in and leave to see him. My friends are getting fed up I fel them slipping away and starting to hate me for it. But if only they new what was going on. I told myself I would ne'er be in a relationship like this but I guess I was wrong. Just my luck I suppose. So about 3 months in is when he started to hit me.
