What's Love Have To Do With It...

Who said a man has the right to hit a woman? Do you know how sad it is for a woman to look at herself in the mirror and see her face or her body all full of bruises. As a man, how would you feel if the victim was your sister, your mother or your daughter?

Physical abuse is a reality that is affecting the life of many women nowadays. This reality rises a lot of questions that might have the wrong answers for the women that are victims of this problem.

Why is this happening to me?

The worse part of it is to think that it's her fault, but no matter what a man is physically stronger than a woman and she will always at a disadvantage. On the other hand, even if is the woman provokes the fight (provided he is in his five senses,not drunk, on drugs or anything like that) he should keep control over the situation and either walk away or try to stop the altercation with out hurting her.

Why do I continue taking this physical abuse? It is because of love, habit or fear?

The truth is you shouldn't love somebody who instead of loving you, respect and protect you is hurting you. Never let a situation turn into a habit. Remember after all, if you allow this to happen once, it's going to continue happening and if you have kids they will get the message that this situation is normal which in turn will create a cycle that will never end. Unfortunately, most of time women stay in this abusive relationships because of fear. If this is your case, seek help.

Start by preparing yourself mentally, analyze the situation and ask yourself:

1. Do I really love this person who is not only hurting me physically but also emotionally. (Don't forget that this abuse damages the person more internally than physically.)

2. What's coming after? Is my life or my kids life in danger? Is this the right environment in which I should raise my kids?

3. Picture your life before, during and possibly after the abuse.

4. If it's fear what's keeping you there, do your research with a best friend, a family member or an agency and get advice, protection and the help you need.

5. Finally, value and love yourself first before anybody, you deserve it. You don't deserve to live in this situation. Give yourself a new chance to start all over again with someone who loves you. Life is too short don't waste it and what's even worse don't lose it in an abusive relationship like this.

No answer is also an answer..

Lots of people are incapable of explaining why they feel the way they do. Some are too afraid to express their feelings for the fact that maybe they dont want to hurt the other person, or even pursue anything at all because they are afraid of how things will turn out.

So some people just figure that you will read between the lines and know that romance will never begin, or for those in a relationship, they expect you to know the love is over...

While explanations can be helpful, they are never offered. Many loves end horribly or never get started, and no words help the pain or clear the confusion...

What about when someone likes you and you don't like them?..
Do you sit them down and tell them or do you go about your business and hope they get the message?

Silence is easy, but it's not always the best solution, that's why we need to figure out what we are saying even when we are not using words..

If you are the one who causes the pain, don't be too proud to admit you are wrong and apologize. It can bring you closer..

If you care for someone it's not worth staying mad and holding grudges..
Express your disappointment..talk it over..and move on..

If that's not the case, just remember that no answer is also an answer.

It usually means they don't care. Obviously to them.. the situation is not worth discussing and they feel you are not important enough to get an explanation..
