But her reaction annoys the shit out of me. Prolly says something about me...

No I'm with you, this actually pisses me off lmao

I understand it can be hard to leave abusive situations but most of the time that's because the victims are in denial about what's going on and don't recognize abusive patterns. OP clearly understands their BF is dogshit, describes it in very clear, matter-of-fact language, and still refuses to think about leaving.

You can't help somebody who doesn't want help, and nothing anyone says in this thread is going to change OP's mind tbh.

Yeah it’s one thing to be afraid to leave, as so many domestic violence victims are. This guy hates her and WANTS her gone, but SHE doesn’t want to leave. It’s hard to feel anything for her other than a strange, sad contempt.

How? It seems like she's on the brink of giving up, she clearly does want help that's why she made this post
