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"?

um..ok i understand that ur friend lets off steam on u cuz he's ur friend n friends do that to each other. it's better to let off steam on a friend rather than the person that they're mad at. but WHY did he PULL YOUR HAIR?! n then pull u TO THE GROUND?! thats going to far. i never hit my friends or pull their hair. even my close friends....wow. but be careful cuz he might start hitting u eventually n u wont even see it coming. if it gets that far...end the relationship. right there. n im serious wen i say, it'll only get worse. it wont ever get better cuz i've been there. it doesnt matter if he feels bad after he does those things the point is that he's DOING those things in the first place. so get ur act together n look at wat's coming rite in front of u or u'll end up getting ur ass beat by someone who is a really "close friend"
