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 yells at you to let off steam. he pulls your hair and you to the ground. your friends have a right to be worried. his temper control is horrible, and you should get mad at him sometimes when he does this to you, especially when he pulss your hair. that just wrong. none of friends would do that unless we were really angry.
