Abusive Relationships/LETTING GO

Question
I'VE CHEATED ON 3 TIMES AND YET I STILL STAY WITH HIM HOW DO I LET GO OF AN 4 YEAR RELATIONSHIP. HE SAYS HE'S SORRY BUT HE KEEPS GOING IT AGAIN

Answer
Dear Shay

You have to ask yourself whether it is better to stay with him and his cheating or to be free and single. Many people find the false security of being in an abusive relationship less painful than taking responsibility and being single. It is kind of like a battered wife syndrome. You have to have courage and self-respect to leave.
