Nerve Dating Confessions
January 16, 11:27AM I have a horrible relationship. We fight and yell constantly. He threatens to leave me everyday. According to him everything is always my fault because he can do no wrong. I'm not in love but I'm afraid to leave...what if this is normal and nothing will be better with a different person. I'm afraid to admit I've wasted the last 3 years of my life and I don't wanna be alone forever. CAN RELATE (1) CAN'T RELATE (1) FLAG FOR ABUSE

That's not normal. I was in a relationship for 15yrs where we hardly ever fought. Nobody ever threatened to leave. Don't be afraid. You will find somebody else and you will realize what you were missing. And there is nothing wrong with walking away after 3 yrs. use that experience to learn from, improve yourself and how you approach relationships. If you grow and mature and learn it will be different with somebody else. Life is to short to be unhappy. So if you are unhappy in your relationship, make a change. There are better things out there for you.

and sometimes being alone is not that bad. you get to reconnect with yourself and what you really want out of life. no regrets. think of the best of the 3 years and then move forward since it's no longer good.

Being alone is fine, great even. Be brave. Your relationship stinks.

you need to leave.... when one door closes another one opens... being alone can be awesome. when i was single i had more (and better) sex than i do now in a committed relationship. i met more interesting people and was out more expanding the social circle. i traveled and had experiences i never ever would have if i were tied down. being in a relationship you close off a lot of opportunity. you will regret the things you do not do.

That's not normal. It might be normal for you, because you think that's all you can get. As soon as you truly believe you deserve better, you will be on the path to getting it...but achieving that belief is hard, and you may need help to believe it.

Thank you so so much. Your words really mean a lot to me.
