Love in Hell

Ever been in a relationship which you thought was made in heaven, yet you found out it was love in hell?

I found this letter which really struck me because of the emotions it held and I would like to share it to the readers hoping you might be able to help this woman and give her a piece of advice. Here’s an excerpt of her letter:

I don’t know where it started, from one argument to another; from one confrontation to another, it led us to physically assault one another. I just found myself wondering, “Am I going to stay with this man for the rest of my life?”. I wanted to quit, but I don’t know how to do it. I don’t want to hurt him and I can’t leave him either, but at the same time, I don’t want to be assaulted everytime we argue. I think it’s not a matter of love when a partner starts making physical attacks. I believe it’s a matter of self-preservation. I keep telling myself never to fall on the same hole as other battered women had, but here I am, experiencing what they are experiencing; loathing every moment of it. Will I or Will I not go for my life… alone?

opinion from one girl in love to another: pysical assult? get real, theres no love in that. I dont care how much you love him, if he has the nerve to pysicaly abuse, no matter at what levle he cannot possibly LOVE you. Think about it. What is love? Get out of there.he may have feelings for you girl, but I tell you it is not love. Get out of th situation. Get away before it gets worse.
I understand the pain it must cause you to think of leaving him if i ever had to give up hope on my lover I would die. But girl, him hitting you, or w/e you fancily worded it “making physical attacks”, thats not love. And a one way love ful of abuse is not worth it. There is a better life awaiting you. Escape.

i so agree with you DondarXlover… “Escape” indeed! i believe that despite of loving someone aside from yourself, you still have to make sure that you love yourself above and the most… you have to be selfish sometimes… in that way, you will be able to survive the challenges this life brought.
