Am I being abused? (I asked this same question in relationships section, just want more answers)?

I think I am being abused. I have been in a relationship with this guy for 5 months now, and he makes me feel bad. He criticizes how I dress, my hair, my weight , my shoes, even the way I WALK or DRINK WATER ! I consider myself a very attractive woman, and I am very nice and smart as well. I am a little curvy as well- I am not skinny, and am losing weight. You can look at myspace to see me: myspace/maura_lo Anyways, the guy has told me that I'm stupid and can't do anything right. He also pushes me sometimes or chokes me if he gets mad- which he does quite often. Whenever I tell him he better stop or I can find someone else, or if I tell him that alot of men like me, then he says, "yea I bet they're all old!" Which is not true. I do not understand why this is happening. The relationship I was in before this was great- he never yelled at me or anything. Lately I have been depressed & crying alot. I also don't feel as confident a/b myself as I once was. I feel I am never good enough .

Your man is just doing this so you feel bad about yourself and feel as if you need him. He criticizes your clothes because he don't want you looking hot out in public and loosing you to another guy who thinks your attractive. He talks about your weight so you don't gain weight. I've been in this kind of relationship where my boyfriend did all this. He was a scum bag and ended up leaving him. Comes to find out, he keeps doing the same things with his recent ex girlfriends, so it wasn't just me.
And about the choking thing.... He don't need to be doing that to you. No one deserves all of this. Get out of this relationship asap!!! My best friend just died from her psycho ex boyfriend! He choked her to death because he was jealous of her boyfriend!!! Please do you and everyone who loves you a favor. Get away from him and even get a restraining order on him, cause you never know how he will turn out when you two break up. And go live somewhere else (with a friend or even your parents!).
I hope you really listen to me. I know I don't know you but I have felt the pain of a close friend dying from a murder and trust me, It is the worse feeling in the world.

Good luck & I will pray for you =)

P.S. I checked out your myspace and you are beautiful. Find a man who deserves you!!!
