hello everyone, Im in huge difficulties and every of your advice is really important for me. Last year when I was in exchange in Italy, i meet one man. I was not interested in him, cause i had boyfriend in my country but he was in love me since the day we meet. when i come back in my country he continue to send me messages and i answered some months after i broke. months after he asked me to meet again many times and i accepted. we meet in rome and spend a week together. I find out he was so jealous person but didnt imagined that much. In my country boy and girl living together is impossible so when he was asking me i was explaining that couse of my strict parents and traditions we could not live as this. 2 months after he asked me to marry and live together and after a huge period of thinking, i accepted. I went in italy and we started to live together. some days later when i ask a simple question about marriage in a funny way, he ignored me and say to me that we know each other for a little period and its really few time for marriage. I was really confused cause in my country everybody knew i went in italy marry and live with my husband (as he asked me to say) some weeks after we started serious conflicts cause of his jealousy, he was jealous on little things like about the man i accidently saw when i was trying to go accross the street... and lot of similar things. unfortunately, one day he slap on my face 2 times and push me really so strong on wall. he started to shouting at me everyday and also when we were in public he didnt care and say to me that everything im dressing now is bought by him and im from extra european country so im second quality person. He said that i was acting like miss world and for me was more important to take care of myself more than clean home. but really i think when u love somebody u r trying to be in a good shape and only 5 min make up in the morning when u wake up., its ok. After all those things, when he calm down, he was really sorry and appologise many times. after 2 moths living together, we had terrible conflict and i decided to buy tickets to come back, he accepted me and so i did. now he say me sorry for all and asks me to come back . for me he is first man and i really love him. But im confused about all these things and i dont know what to do.
Don't go back. Violent controlling men don't change. They hit you, then they are sorry, then things go well for a while, then it happens again.
Leave this man. He is not an honorable person. He used you.
@exeu,
The big apologies after a beating are classic to the abuser's playbook.

Often the bigger the beating, the bigger the apology. Tears. Promises to "change". Begging. Suicide threats. These may even be sincerely meant, but you still get hurt the next time (and there
will be a next time). Or killed.
