i wonder why women when so in love forget everything. when is enough enough? is it enough if we are already battered? is it enough if we are already crying blood, not anymore normal tears? is it enough if we have nothing left to share? is it enough if you are already drain mentally, physically, emotionally and economically? when is enough enough?

most of the time we live in denial, not wanting to believe someone who is suppose to love us and treat us with dignity and respect can treat us so badly. At first we let little things slide, then we justify other things and by the time we realize something is definitely not right, we are caught up in the relationship, too entangled to break free. Plus, who wants to believe we have put so much into a relationship only for it to all be for nothing? So we try to patch it up and hang onto it hoping that one day we can make it work. If it's not working, we blame ourselves, we then try even harder but to no avail. It like trying to patch a leaking raft that has holes all in it. You can cover a few holes here and there, but water then leaks from the other ones. The process is overwhelming and eventually the raft continues to fill with water anyway. And yes it does drain everything out of you. Enough was enough with the first acts of disrespect. We just did not know it. We have to believe we deserve better than that. I am talking from experience, something I wish I had addressed a long time ago.

Ahahaha! I'm thinking Rhinna and Chris Brown. xD I dunno. But that's just abuse already... They should just leave and walk out... Love? I don't consider that love anymore. If people do love each other and enjoy the hurt... A little masochistic don't you think? If the person is loyal and faithful, then stay... If they abuse you on a daily basis... Walk out - be friends if you have to... And if they don't want to, then there's nothing to turn back to and just move forward and perhaps let someone take the beating for you. A healthy relationship should have mutual feelings rather than torment and hurt! People should be able to see their own actions or go see a relationship counselor person if they do want it to work out or just try to talk it out instead of being abused. Because that's not cool! What's your say on this?

i totally agree with you.that is if you are aware of your situation.what if you are not?how are you going to know if you are blinded by your love or responsibility? well, friends are there who can remind you.but at some point your own decision matters.
