No one deserves to stay abused. You can free yourself from it.

  1. I admitted to myself that this was an endless cycle. I realized that the problems won’t get fixed by themselves. A relationship is a two-way process and the situation won’t change no matter how badly you want it to, or how patient you are unless the abuser honestly seeks help.
  2. I spent time alone thinking and deciding without him present to affect my decision. I took the time to meditate and pray for God to guide me in this crucial decision. It was then that I realized how peaceful life is and that I am strong enough to survive without him.
  3. I chose a peaceful moment to talk to him about my decision. When I told him it was over because of his abuse, he is at a more understanding mode. Hopefully, he will ponder on it in the future, and change for the better, but this does not necessarily mean, I’ll take him back.
  4. Most importantly, I followed through and stood by my decision. When there were attempts from him begging me back, I recalled my moments alone and the peace that I am enjoying now. I know it was the right thing to do. Now I can move on with a new life full of hope and promise.

    Excellent! Good for you… How many women stay in these situations though after telling the guy why they want out because he “promises to change” It’s very sad…
