Original Reddit post

I was in a relationship for several years. We lived together and over the years she would attack me on many levels. I tried to listen to her needs, be supportive, offer help… everything one has to do in a relationship with genuine love and support. Over time her vitriol became more and more toxic. I pretty much had to take her abusive ways as my job was low paying at the time and couldn’t afford much on my own. We ended up being roommates for several years until I advanced in my job as was able to have a living wage. There aren’t really any resources or services for abused men, yet countless options for women. Anyways to those that got a raw deal, how did you manage, cope, escape, deal with the onslaught of negativity. I’ll take my call off the air now. Thanks for reading. submitted by /u/aluminumnek
