MODERATORS
If someone has shown that they're willing to inflict physical harm upon you, then staying with them is you giving your tacit permission to continue. You have to leave before they end up killing you.
EDIT: guess all the domestic abusers are upset I'm telling their partner to leave them 🤷♂️
For victims of domestic violence it's often not possible to just leave
There can be many challenges to it, but the other option is eventually being murdered by your partner. We, as a society, need to better fund social welfare programs that would allow someone in this kind of position to leave more easily.
I'm not putting the blame on the person staying, but I'm hoping that putting it so bluntly might reach some random person who really needs to absorb the message that it will only get worse, and then they kill you.
