Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

I recently broke it off with my boyfriend. The abuse started out emotional and turned - slowly - to physical abuse. It becamse very bad one weekend and I broke it off with him. I know I did the right thing and I know his attempts to get me back are all part of the cycle we have been through, but I do miss him. I miss who he was when we first got together and the good times that we had in the beginning of our relationship. Although it was all part of the cycle and I know that, it just is so hard. Anyone have any advice on getting through this?? Iknow time will help, but it is just hard. I have talked to other people and I am not the first person he has gotten physical with in a relationship and apparently his control and temper and emotional abuse has been really bad with other people as well. So I know that this is his pattern and his way, but I still can't get past some of these things. Any suggestions or advice for things that have worked?? I really feel like I am down and get can't up...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Just like with your guy....HE WILL NEVER CHANGE! Very few do....STAY AWAY!! It does get better with time as long as you cut off all contact and ignore him. Each day you will see a difference.
"Getting over it" doesn't happen. Otherwise you cannot learn by your experience and run the risk of another relationship like this in the future. You will likely always be affected by what he has done for you, and the best you can do going forward is use this experience to direct your future relationships and help others who have been where you have. You are on the right track by understanding the pattern, the cycle, and recognizing his attempts at reconcilliation as additional control mechanisms. Stay strong. Stay safe and heal the best you can.
