Q: dont know what to do....

I'm 18, pregnant, and in a relationship with someone i've been with for only a year, we also moved in together after only 5 months. With all that aside, i'm now finding myself being constantly put down, called names, and hes gotten to the point to where he throws things, pushes me, and put his hands around my neck. I know it's easy for so many to say "just leave!", but no it really isn't that easy. I don't have a job, or a way to support my baby, i'm 5 months pregnant, and afraid of not knowing what to do without him. I have family who would completely support me, but at the same time every time I leave i find myself missing him and going back...and I end up appologizing!...advice please?!

If he's pushing you and putting his hand around your neck now then he'll probably be punching you in the year to come. he put his hands around your neck and what? tried to strangle you! Sorry to disapoint you hun but it doesn't sound good. I would go to your parents house and live with them for a while. I had an abusive guy too. Great guy, for 6 months! Then we moved in and thats when the action realy began. I left him not long after. I don't regret it for a second. then a friend of mine got with him (befre we were friends) and she had two chn to him. The worst thing i heard he did to her was hit her with a base ball bat. yeah guys like that are real chalmers. Turns out his dad was quite an agressive character and abused his mother so to speak, breaking things, intimitating her. When she was young she went to a concert with friends and after coming home he made her stand on her mothers or fathers grave and swear she wasn't with anyone. I don't think he ever hit her, then again I could be way off but the mental abuse would have been really frightening! There are millions of stories women could tell you about abusive relationships. You're in one whether you want to believe it or not. He pushes you (physical abuse) strangles you(physical abuse) puts you downs ect(mental abuse. I really hope you decide to leave him. if you ever need to chat pm me. I've been there. yeeeaaarrrs ago now but I was there once too. take care. xo

I was in a mentally abusive relationship about 7 yrs ago. He put me down all the time and I got to the point where I thought he was right. He made me feel like I was fat and ugly etc. He knows that by killing your self-esteem that you will never leave him. He is controlling and manipulating you as well as physically hurting you. This will not change. Trust me go to your family for help. Also if you go to any clinic or emergency room they have information on what you can do if you have been abused. Please leave him and get help not only for you but that little munchkin in your belly. Good Luck!

6 months is the romance period, after that the bad guys usually show their true colors. let this be a lesson not to jump into a relationship fast.
you have to leave him and it's good that you have a place to stay. how could he touch you while your pregnant with his baby. this abuse may get worse, trust me! my dad abused my mom and my siblings and i for 20 years.
i left my abusive b/f of 5 years. i packed my bags and left the states, i had a job & apartment, i lost my job, and my apartment. i called my sister up and asked her can i stay with her....she said no....i had to live in a shelter...
so it's good that you have support. i didnt have that. you can live with relatives and then visit the father. you dont have to live with him if he's treating you like that. need i tell you what happens when someone is subject to such abuses. would you like to hear about how screwed up my family is. please dont put yourself through that.
please dont!
you said you leave and come back. your going to get tired of it trust me. i dont want this guy to destroy your spirit.
