i recently broke up with my husband who's hurting me not only emotionally but also physically. i wanted to let go of the pain that i felt but somehow i knew i had to do something that will ease the pain a little bit, so how do you get even?

From experience I know how it feels it been 8 years since I divorced my ex because of abuse. The best way to get even is to move on with your life without him. I know its hard to do. I still have a lot pain and angry at my ex. I have moved on have remarried now have great hubby that loves me for who I am. Best of luck and my prays are with you.

I agree with free. Abusing men are control freaks. He can't stand the thought of you moving on and living happily without him. In fact, as long as you are still dwelling on him, you are still under his power and he knows it. Don't give him that satisfaction! Move on and act as if you never even think of him. Nothing will make him crazier. If you need to feel that you are evening the score, that's what I would focus on. But I would also get counseling and work hard on getting past that need. It will only hurt you, not him. You'll know you're completely free of him when you aren't allowing him to control your feelings any more.

So was I at first. I wasn't looking when I meet my second hubby and he totally different and very supportive and loving. Just takes time I still have nightmares and probably always will. But talking about my experience has helped to.

You perfectly know that "revenge" is a bad thing to do. I must have to admit that i did that a couple of times before and it ain't do good to me. His conscience will kill him for sure, for physically abusing you. And i think that's a nice and natural vengeance, don't you think?^_^

I know it was very easy on my part to say those things, that is because it wasn't me who's experiencing it, right? .. But i really wish you happiness really. We all carrying emotional baggages you know. You are not alone.^_^

FOR ME IF SHES HURTING YOU BOTH YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A SPACE.AND LET HIM THINK WHAT SHE DO TO YOU.AND HOW IMPORTANT YOU TO HIM.AND HE WILL REALIZED THAT HES WRONG.DONT PUSH HIM TO DO WHAT HES GOING TO DO TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP.AT YOUR PAIN TRY TO GO OUT WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND GIVE SPACE AND TIME TO THINK IF ITS OVER OR TO STAY WITH HIM RATHER.
