Letters to the Editor

Been there
I've been in exactly that situation. I'm 6'4" and average about 250lb. The girlfriend who went into rages and hit me was about 100lb. There was no way she could physically hurt me, but she sure tried. I broke up with her after a few months of this treatment. I never felt physically threatened, but it eventually became clear to me that I couldn't just absorb all of that anger. My thought was "She can't hurt me. Maybe she can work through her anger on me. There was no end to it, though, so I eventually stopped seeing any point in going on.
Also, I'd advise the letter writer that, even though he can handle any physical abuse his fiance can dish out, their future children could not. She's a victim of abuse, and the cycle could easily continue. Will she hit the kids when they misbehave? It's entirely possible.
