It starts with understanding that, if you’re partner is treating you badly, there is nothing for you to change.

It’s time to ask your partner to have an open and authentic conversation. Ask your partner to be willing to do deep soul searching. What you want to do is find out what caused your partner to do what he does. It’s those past events that are more than likely causing them to act the way they do toward you.

Once you’re able to get at the core of what was causing that behavior, it’s time to acknowledge it and let it be. Once your partner is aware of what he’s doing, he should be able to recognize it, catch himself and stop it.

Now, if things begin to change in your relationship, great.

But if they don’t and things keep going the way they’ve always done then maybe it’s time to call it quits.

You have to determine for yourself whether you want to put up with this behavior or find a relationship that works for who you are. No matter what the situation, to me, verbal abuse and this type of behavior is on par with physical abuse. It can be just as damaging.

If your partner is unwilling to do some deep soul searching and uncover what it is that’s triggering these responses, then it may not be worth staying in the relationship. Then again, maybe it is worth staying.

Let’s face it, some relationships are NOT worth saving. Some ARE worth saving. YOU have to make that choice for yourself.

Ultimately the ball is in your court. You get to say who you want to be with. You get to say whether you stay in the relationship. You get to say how your life goes.

Also, I want you to look at everything I’ve just said… You might be pissed and hate me for it. But you know what, it’s just my opinion. You can choose to accept it or ignore it but if you are pissed and upset about it, consider there was something that triggered it and it’s not me who caused it.
