You'd be surprised at how often black women are pressured into staying in bad relationship by their family and friends.
Who cares about what family and friends think if at the end of the day you are the one hurting? Stop making excuses for other people.

I'm not making excuses for anyone, I'm telling a harsh truth. Do you know how many black women tell their own mothers about the crappy things their partners are doing only to be met with:
"You just need to pray on it. He's a good man, he'll come around."
"Well what did you say to set him off?"
"He's just going through a rough time. Be patient; it'll get better."
Black women face an unbelievable amount of pressure to tolerate abuse and mistreatment from black men, to such a point that a lot of black women don't even recognize abuse when they experience it. It takes a strong support system to leave an abusive relationship, and if you don't have it you probably aren't going to get out.

Okay I'm not saying those things don't happen, but there comes a time when one needs to take personal responsibility and accountability for what they allow others to do to them.

Break it off with the dude, reach out the family and friends that can help you get back on your feet if you are financially dependent on him. Take a break from men and figure out why you keep getting in relationships with abusive men.

I agree with all of this. I was just explaining how these situations come about.

Yeah, I understand where you are coming from.

I have seen it happen. People go to their friends and family for help, and they are told that their situation isn't as bad as they are making it out to be, are told this is how relationships are and to just deal with it, etc.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
How y'all weirdo nikkas turn this around on the woman? :beli:

THEY WERE NOT TOGETHER ANYMORE. I can't get mad at her for leaving a bad situation. This psycho just couldn't get over it, and this unfortunately happened. :snoop:

Don't even know why choose better, is even being mentioned here where for all we know they could have been dating a couple weeks, she saw the signs and bounced. :skip:

Hate this happens though man, the "hardest" nikkas always come out to be the most bytchmade ones at the end of the day.

"She went through a hard, very, very hard time with this breakup,” Jackson said. “She steadily voiced it, she feared for her life that something might happen to her."

She had warnings & seen signs that dude was about that:francis:It should've been switch states, switch plates after that......
