While I haven't exactly been a victim of dating violence physically, I once dated a guy that treated me like shit. When I tried breaking up with him, he kept threatening suicide and saying that it was my fault that he was going to kill himself. I mean, the fact he said that made me feel so bad that I had no choice but to stay with him for a while longer. I had to finally get the mindset that I needed to be free of this relationship, and that I couldn't let the guy do this to me any longer. I tried breaking up with him again, and the same thing happened. This time though, I stood my ground and didn't budge. You know, my ex didn't kill himself and I got out of the relationship. My ex used that as a way to stay with him because he knew I would feel guilty about it and that he knew he could upset me.

In any case of dating violence, you need to tell someone you trust and find a way out of the relationship.
