    I've been in a relationship for just about a year . My Boyfriend and me are like the adorable gay couple at my school and everyone thinks we are perfect. But no one actually knows that he hits me. I guess nothing about it really matters though, as long as nothing gets in the way of my school work. But I don't know how to resolve this problem, should I leave him?:dry:

    Yes.

    There is no excuse, reason, justification or anything else that says you need to endure being hit.

    Leave, and leave now.

    Listen to Greatwhale please.

    This will never stop. It will get worse and it can destroy you. Really. If you need to tell somebody to be sheltered please do it.

    Yes. There's absolutely no reason anyone should hit their significant other and hitting can slowly evolve into more serious and dangerous behavior.

    I know there are probably many reasons you want to stay in the relationship, but please, please listen to our advice. This is not healthy for you, even if that's hard to see because you like being in the relationship.
    A relationship is something that should be all-around good and positive. Yes, there may be communication challenges sometimes, but this is not like that. The way he is acting is not justifyable and not healthy for you. This isn't a challenge/flaw to just deal with. This is serious. Even if you can't see it as a real threat now, please know that it is. It will only get worse, and regardless, it is not healthy for you physically or emotionally. You do not deserve that treatment, and you don't need to settle for it.

    A relationship may seem like a good thing to have now, and he may seem like a good person in other ways, but that doesn't change the fact that this is not something you should be involved with. You will thank yourself, I promise you, if you end this because you deserve no less. It is never to late to make things better and do what you need to.

    My best wishes and thoughts are with you. I know you won't take this lightly, yet I know how easy it is to let denial and wishful thinking make you blind to what's best and what needs to happen. Breaking up is temporary, but it's better than staying in a relationship that brings you undue harm, I promise.

    Best of luck. Please do what is right for your own well-being<3

    You should leave him. Obviously I'm not the first to say so, but it bears repeating.

    The only thing I'll add is that as long as you are in this relationship, both your physical and emotional well-being are in danger. This behavior is going to affect other areas of your life, including financial issues and your work in school, if it hasn't already. The chances of you being seriously hurt or even killed are very real, as well.

    If you need to talk in detail about this, please contact staff, but in any case I do hope you take everyone's advice here.

    Please leave. Just look at the wave of people telling you that you deserve better. And it's all true, you deserve so much more than what he's offering. There is no boy in the world, no amount of brains, or good looks, or charm, that are worth your physical or emotional safety and comfort. Your partner is suppose to make you feel safe, not threatened. please please don't stay with him.

    How old are you?

    You posted this thread for a reason. For many people, they would have already left by now, but unfortunately you have gotten used to this abuser to the point you have to ask for help with the decision. Being in an abusive relationship is worse than being single and maybe lonely. It will take time to heal, but your life is really in your control, not your abuser's. He is not a boyfriend; he is a monster.

    You should develop a plan to leave, and you should ask for help, both here and any friends/family who you can count on for support.

    Leave him immediatley. Hitting is never acceptable. Ever. EVER. And also make sure you talk to a parent or other adult about him and what's going on, in order to keep yourself safe once you do.

    Best of luck hun, I hope all goes well <3

    Abuse, in any form, is never okay. You don't deserve to put up with anyone who puts their hands on you. If you're able to, leave that person while you can. If you feel like you might be in danger, please reach out to someone like a close friend or a relative that you can trust---especially if you're a minor.

    Please stay safe, okay?

    As everyone is saying above, abuse is never okay.

    I was hit repeatedly in the face during a fight with my ex during a night and it only took one time. I had him arrested and I walked away and never looked back. Best thing I ever did. Do that too. Leave now and don't look back.

    Yes, leave him. Leave him and don't look back! Nobody has the right to hurt you, especially someone who claims to love you. If you feel comfortable doing so, you may also want to talk to your school counselor about this as well, and perhaps the Italian equivalent to a Title IX office if there is one.

    No one should be hitting you. Leave him.
