AboutNafeesah Expertise I can answer just about anything on abusive relationships, but I can't give legal advice on how to get out of one that's something you need to speak with a counselor trained and certified to deal with domestic violence issues to get resources in pursuing legal recourse.
Experience I have been in abusive relationships and I have shared my experience in helping others to get out of these types of relationships. I was in two abusive relationships one lasting nearly 2 years and the other just over 5 years.
Education/Credentials Associates degree, bachelors degree, and I am a certified nursing assistant
Question My boyfriend I have been together 3 years in December. Everything was perfect until I cheated on him. After cheating on him, I told him everything and admitted all the details about me and the other guy. Ever since then he has been very verbally abusive, calling me names and yelling at me in the face. Three times now he has been violent towards me also. This past weekend he was so sweet and nice, then when he got drunk he grabbed me and shoved me and started throwing things and yelling. That's the third time he has done something like that. Afterwards he apologized and even gave me roses. I do love him, but I'm afraid this is the start of an abusive relationship.. help!
Answer He's angry because you cheated on him, but he should express his feelings differently other than to verbalize you and if he put his hands on you it's time to walk away. Getting cheated on is the worst feeling around, but your boyfriend has no reason EVER to put his hands on a woman regardless of what she's done.
