Dear Kate<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I have been dating this prominent politician for over two years now and he started to beat me last year August. Kate, I love this man. He has changed my life. The thing is I was raised in Grays Farm and without much to go around. However, since he met me, my life has changed. He now rents a very nice apartment for me and I moved from having two pairs of shoes to a closet full of everything. But I am not happy because he cannot sleep all night with me. He sometimes leaves at 2am<\/span> and its becoming frustrating because he has to go home to his wife. I just want him to leave her and be with me alone. There were times when he wouldn\u2019t come over for weeks and I started feeling lonely and I went out with a guy friend of mine. He found out and told me I can\u2019t see anyone except him. When I rebelled, he beat me up. Then he started hitting me of every and anything these days. Should I leave him? I am scared of going back to the girl who had nothing.<\/p>\n

Confused.<\/p>

Dear Confused<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Everything means nothing if you\u2019re not happy. You can decide to stay in this situation if you are comfortable being his prostitute and his punching bag. I know we live in an era where extra marital relationships are the in-thing but wrong is wrong no matter how many people are doing it. Furthermore, you don\u2019t seem to be even remorseful that you\u2019re slowly destroying someone\u2019s marriage. You are even brazen about it, saying you \u201cjust want him to leave her and be with you\u201d. Listen Confused, there\u2019s nothing confusing about your situation. If you love yourself get out that relation else you\u2019re going to end up a real miserable person. And it appears that you are already on the verge of it. Make a report to the police about the abuse. But you would need to brace yourself for the publicity. It is better to be free with \u201cnothing much\u201d than to be in prison with everything\u201d.<\/p>\n

Take care<\/p>\n
