Messing my head, is she playing me or what? Options

[JessBur1981]

I dated this girl then she left me for her old b/f. Then he beat her up a month later and she came back to me. Now only 3 days after she got beat up she leaves me again and goes back to him. I really care fir this girl, but my mind can't handle all the games. Now I sit here worried for her, yet at the same time angry, sad, and a lot of handrolled emotions all balled up together. It's even starting to effect my everyday life. WHAT DO I DO?

she just wants to be wanted, that's her problem. she's the type who will do anything to feel loved.

i used to be like that, i got into an emotionally abusive relationship just because i wanted to feel like someone loved me...i was going through a lot of crap with my parents and i felt deprived of love.

you should try to help her get out of the relationship with her abusive boyfriend. it doesn't matter if you end up together, you care about this girl. do whatever you can to get her out before it's too late. he's hurting her little by little but it's escalating and someday, it's going to come full circle when he kills her.

tell her to get a restraining order against him (if she's not 18 yet then i think her parents can get one for her). that will give her time to herself to think things through...you can help her realize that this isn't love. love doesn't come with physical bruises or black eyes.

love never strikes a physical blow.
