I need help? marks on my neck, legs and ribs are all bruised

I have been with my boyfriend for over a year and we both are so so happy! Were only 17 but have been close friends for over ten years, everything was okay at the start but he's always been really protective of me and jealous, like when we were first seeing eachother he dragged me out of a party screaming and being aggresive just because I was sat to near to boys? There's been quite a few other incidents, like last day of high school he had me by the neck against the school fence because some boy signed my leavers shirt, there's so many things since but nothing I couldn't move on from, my friends are all aware of the way he is and they kinda think it's "cute" that he must care about me so much, I have a couple friends who are concerned but I don't talk to them much anymore now :/ but last night made me want to write on here and find some answers, we had a usually argument over the phone cause I was taking to long to reply to his texts while getting ready for the party he was coming to at my friends, so we argued and he said it was over blah blah, then he got to the house and I walked over to give him a cuddle and make up but he was having none of it so I left him and more people came to the party as the night went on then I walked into the room he was sat in and he grabbed me and threw me into the hall way by the neck and was choking me then he hit me in the face and ripped my earrings out then loads of people pulled him off me, I was crying so my friend took me upstairs to calm down then I came back downstairs and walked into room acting normal and he got up and kicked me to the floor and kept kicking me then I got up and he grabbed my hair and neck calling me a " stupid sl** what the f*** you doing in kitchen when there's boys in there!!!" etc. After a while it calmed abit I sat down but then he got up and had a really heavy full bottle of yagermeister, just alcohol.. And threw it full force and my rib and I tried to get up fast to make him stay and fell to the floor in pain thinking I've broken a rib and said he hates me and walked out cause he said I looked at another boy when I was sitting down, I've got marks on my neck, legs and ribs are all bruised badly, but were back together and he's Said sorry once and said he will make up to me, I stayed at his that night and I woke up in the night to him crying I said what's wrong he just said I can't keep doing this to you, but I fell back to sleep? I don't know what to do, am I in an abusive relationship or a
I safe? I don't know! Please someone answer x

Hi MillyScookies and welcome to ehealth: You asked for an answer, well I will give you one...About twenty years ago I had a friend with an adorable daughter...She was a Sophomore in high school...Her boyfriend was a Senior...He, too, ruled her...Her Mother told me that he had slapped her around and they were trying to break them up...The problem being the girl was OK with breaking up, but the guy (who was also cute kid) wasn't....He owned her...One night after an argument he beat the holy living he** out of her...She had black eyes and was a mess...I know, I saw her...Still he would not stay away...The girl was scared to death...In the end this family of four, moved near 1500 miles away to get away from him...This was the last I heard of their problem...I neither asked, nor was told...

What I speak about I is the truth...Thinking about it I wonder how deeply that this girl was scarred by this happening...I hope this helps you.....Much love...

dont live like that. He can kill you and you have so much to life for. get a restraining order tell someone. take pride in your life because im sure you have at lease one person that would care if you lived or died. i dont even know u and i care. i went through this at your same age mine u im 21 now and still have trouble coping with it. the sooner its over the sooner you can have YOUR life back not your life thats really his life because ur some property. the fear yoour feeling when he raises his hand to strike you that hurt you feel when the pain comes and that embarrassment you feel when he's finished can STOP just as quickly as it started if not sooner. be safe and think about it. if you or anyone else needs to talk

This is exactly what I went thru most of my life : ( It is horrible, but you have to end it. He will never change, no chance. They always make promises, (to get their way) but it is only to control u. He doesnt love you and he is sick. He doesnt know how to love. He only knows control . I am 37 and a single mama to 3 kids, whose dads were abusive. I now have mental issues PTSD from abuse from him.. Get out now, I have to live with this pain everyday. Get out before it changes you : (
