I appreciate all of the replies to my first post, I feel very comfortable here! It has been a rough week. Saturday was the last blow up we had. I am fighting a losing battle. We, (my fiancee and I) finally talked last night and I found out that he has abused women before. I asked him if he treated his ex's the way he treats me and he said "yeah". I tried to talk to him about a lot of things and I honestly don't think that he has a clue about the way he treats me. I told him that he is an abuser and he said that is "my opinion". I am so frustrated!! I gave the engagement ring back to him and have started looking for a place to live. I am stressing out because I think he will go off the deep end when he finds out I am looking for a new place. But, I am not staying because I know it will happen again (now that I know his history)because it always happens again.

Thank you for allowing me to "vent"! I hope this makes sense, I am kind of in limbo right now. I have some other poems I would like to share with the board sometime.

You never know, you might be a poet and not know it! I had no idea I could write poetry until I was so frustrated, scared and angry at my ex that I just sat down and started writing. I am happy that they are being read and enjoyed by other people instead of just sitting in a file. Thank you for the opportunity to share them, I appreciate it very much.
