'I Love You' and Abuse
I met the love of my life at a young age. He was the apple of my eye, the dream man come true. As time moved forward, I began to feel like something was terribly wrong with my dream man. His love for me had drastically changed from the love I had felt in the beginning of our relationship. The butterflies, the childish smiles, the sleepless nights, and the constant blushes throughout the day had all vanished away, only to be replaced with fear agony, frustration, and pain. His love literally meant every word of the saying, "I love you to death."His love turned violent towards me, yet I believed that I could love him past his faults, and love him past his pain, so that he could love me as I wanted him to love me, and as I chose to love him, unconditionally.
