WHat Now, Friends fighting Options

[troubled_angel]

i don't know what i'm supposed to do anymore, some of my best friends are getting mad at me because they say I'm in an abusive friendship, but they don't understand. Ok, i have this friend, he's a realy strong and intimidating guy, but really nice. He tells me everything, things no one else would in their right minds think of telling someone so I'm really close with him. He gets angry a lot, andwhen he does he'll yell, usaully at me, to let steam off. This doesn't bother me, cause he won't ever hit, i know that for a fact, you gotta trust me here, but sometimes when he puts the blame on me he'll grabb my arm and pull me off to the side. And once when he thought i said something to a girl he liked he grabbed my hair and pulled me to the ground. He always feels really bad after he does it, but that's just the way he reacts to things and he knows i understand. My friends don't. They think i need to stop forgiving him, report him, or least get angry with him after he does things like that. How am I supposed to make them understand my point of view without hem saying that I'm in "denial"?

He pulls your hair and pulled you to the ground! He yells at you to let off steam. Girl you are in denial. Sure you may say he hasnt hit you but being an abusive relationship doesnt always involve hitting. Verbal abuse for example, yelling at you to let a steam. Physical abuse, pulling your hair are all signs of an abusive relationship. I am not going make a decision on and your relationship because you dont even know me, I know for a fact people in these types relationship like you are in are head strong in staying in them. But your friends have a right to be concern. I would be to if I was your friend
