My entire life, I've seen only abusive relationships and marriages unfolding in front of my eyes. Even now, in my early 20's, I still have an all-black view on the whole thing.
To be honest, I would like to have a romantic relationship, but there's quite a few things stopping me from having that. The first I can't say without causing fights (PM me if you want to know), the second is the thing that's also the topic of the poll.
All the males I've known, most of them have been physically and verbally abused to the point where one of them had to enter a psychiatric unit, and another committed suicide.
I also had a female friend who recently told me about her story of a bad relationship, where her boyfriend cheated on her and did something very inappropriate to her. She ended up being scarred as a result of that relationship.
So basically, this makes me very pessimistic about the whole thing, and I wonder, are these relationships normal?
Is being physically harmed on a daily basis a common thing? Is it normal to be beaten, cheated on, having things thrown at you, getting screamed at, and then getting sued for ridiculous reasons?
Does that typically happen all around the world? All I've seen and heard, from everywhere, is nothing but things that turn people into emotional wrecks.
Is it common for your apparent "lover" to despise you and do everything they could to make you suffer or want you to die?
