When a person is engaged to an emotional abuser how do they get out of the relationship?
If you have reservations about becoming married to this individual....DO NOT DO IT!!! Better to be out some money than your self esteem, and dignity. Answer Get out of this relationship right know. I experienced mental and verbally abusive behaviour from my soon to be ex-husband before we got married and chose to ignore it. I thought it was his way of showing me love but, after we got married it got worse and he even showed me some physical signs of him wanting to punch me. After this happened I decided I had to much and than he starting stalking me and so on. The marriage lasted six months until I moved out. I have to say this has been the most healthiest thing I have ever done. Answer They get out of the relationship by gertting out of the relationship. See these: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/abusefamily.html http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/abuse3.html Answer Leaving might be the final solution, but it is generally not the beginning of the solution. Simply because it's easier said than done. Why do we have this saying of things "easier said than done"? Because it is true of many things. If leaving is the "finish" you must begin at "start". The startpoint to leaving such a relationship is by beginning to gain a healthy dose of self respect. Begin to learn that you compare yourself with others the wrong way. The right way of comparing yourself to others is by seeing both as equal. Knowing you deserve the same dose of respect that you give others. Realising what you deserve leaves you only one step away from "finish" and receive the prize that's got "freedom" written on it.
