I deserve better

Dear Lyle,
I love you so much. In fact, you’re the first boy I’ve been in love with. I know you love me, but you don’t treat me like you do. You are so disrespectful. You throw things at me, punch me, kick me, and insult me. If I slap you because you’re upsetting me, it’s your natural reaction to slap me back harder.. even in front of your friends. That happened once, and you got mad at me for making you look abusive in front of your friends. I shouldn’t have to apologize for your actions.. I give you everything you ask for.. I love you.. Why won’t you treat me like your girlfriend, instead of your punching bag..
Sweet Pea, you need to get out of this relationship right now. You may have not thought of it this way, but you are by definition a victim of domestic violence. Your boyfriend is physically and verbally abusing you–that is not love. There are so many good men out there you could be with instead who would treat you well. I once had a boyfriend who was emotionally manipulative, and it was so difficult for me to leave him at the time, but in hindsight, I was completely miserable while we were together. Please, oh please, don’t get sucked in so far that you can’t drag yourself out.
