Dear lyladrew:

Please end this relationship immediately, in the next hour. He hits and punches you sometimes, that is enough to end it yesterday, retroactively to the first time he punched you.

Staying with him is bad for you. The more you stay with him, the more hurt you will be.

After you end this relationship, in the next hour, in the next day, can you attend psychotherapy or some kind of counseling so to heal some of the damage this relationship has caused you?
