I am dating a man that likes to push me around when we argue and drink. I fall and always get these bruises. I fell last Saturday night after we argued and I have these terrible black bruises all over me. I am a successful educated woman but have had so many bad relationships. Every time this happens we swear we’re not going to drink anymore so we won’t argue. I feel bad confessing this because I know there are women who are truly hurting at the hands of their mate, but I have no one to tell.
My bad relationships in the past make me want to try and make this one work so much. He is so remorseful and says we were drinking too much, my memory isn’t so good when this happens. Did he do it on purpose or did I really just fall? I am going to stop drinking, it’s the only way I will know for sure. Thank you for listening.
