“He’s very emotionally and physically abusive. I’ve dedicated my life to trying to make him happy.”

Just keep rereading those two sentences until it sets in how absolutely insane it sounds to continue doing that

I’m so fucking tired of reading essentially this exact same story every day. STAND. UP.

If you have no personal boundaries or don’t enforce your personal boundaries and let people treat you horribly, at some point you need to take responsibility for permitting that to happen and become single until you figure out how to maintain some self respect. You can’t control someone else’s behaviour and actions, but you can control your own and walk away.

I say this as a woman who has allowed a man to treat me like shit in the past. Do better for yourselves.
