What are the responsibilities of a boyfriend? Taking care of you and make sure you are well are just part of the package. However, some men don’t even treat that as prerequisites in a relationship. Take this guy for example: he controls every aspect of his girlfriend’s life and even abuses her verbally and physically.
The girlfriend had to send pictures of herself regularly and even answer his calls within a certain number of rings. That is a pretty abnormal requirement, if you ask me. What if she was in the toilet, or just sleeping? He also monitored her through her laptop usage and kept tables on her through a tracking programme that he installed on her phone. Exerting so much control over her life is definitely not a sign of a healthy relationship.
Those just form the tip of the iceberg. He even made her pay for his bills and repay his debts. This is the epitome of a person who only takes and takes instead of giving back in the relationship. Not only did he do this, but he also started to abuse her.
He regularly accused her of cheating and cursed and swore at his girlfriend. When his girlfriend retaliated and tried to put an end to the accusations by lying that she had been cheating on him, he took it a step further and claimed that she deserve all the abuse because of her mistake.
Other that that, he also started to become physically abusive, even in public. He hit and pushed her, even resulting in a head injury that required her to go for stitches.
Despite all of this, the girlfriend is still willing to stay with her boyfriend because she loves him. She also believes that if they get married, the situation would improve. Although we highly doubt so, we don’t have a say in people’s relationships as outsiders. Abusers can also be loving and caring at times, making it hard for the victim to collect his/her resolve to put an end to the abuse and get out of the vicious cycle.
If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you can approach the organisation Promoting Alternatives to Violence (PAVE) for help and counselling.
