Forget Forgiving!

I can relate to some of her story. I also had an abusive boyfriend but instead of us being together for a short time I gave him 12 years of my life. We argued cursed and fought almost every weekend, it seemed as if it was planned. He slap punched me in the face numerous times swelling my eye almost shut I cried, he later looked at me and cried too. I thought he was sincere about changing then another day when things got heated I had my back to him trying not to pay him any attention that's when he split my top lip. I'm leaking blood everywhere could barely talk or eat I was in so much pain. I started fighting back and after awhile he's seen that he couldn't break me and he knew the day was coming when I would leave and never look back. Yes it was hard I loved him a lot I gave him all of me and all he gave me in return was a lot of pain. Later I found out he cracked my pelvis bone and a broken finger. He was scared to take me to see a doctor, when he did I needed a cast and was forced to lie to the doctors.

Hello my name is Nichole and I can relate to this poem in so many ways. I only been with my boyfriend 6 months but what he did to me will last a life time. I love him like no other and was the first guy I was faithful to. I thought he was the one so I thought. He started beating me 3 weeks into our relationship. And every time I forgave him. He abused me 6 times and each time it got worse. He broke my nose, bruised my left and right ribs, 2 black eyes and bruised lip (and now have scars)I thought it was me until I was in treatment I learned he is the one who is sick not me. Before I went into treatment my cousin who I looked up to as a sister told me she was cheating on me with her that broke my heart cause like I said I looked up to her sister. Me and my boyfriend lived together and would come home lay in our bed like nothing ever happened. I blew it off cause he said it wasn't true so we carried on with our life. But deep down I know he was lying

Some people don't know what it's like to get so hurt your heart will forgive. So many times he'll just keep doing the same thing until you stand up and say "No you hurt me too much I will NEVER forgive you EVER"
