She's not "running away", she's protecting herself from abuse... Why must everyone on this forum characterize self defence and protection as if its some sort of act of aggression?

If someone takes a swing at me in a bar are you gonna tell me to just stand there and keep letting him hit me?

This is your idea of healthy advice?

Keep letting people hurt you until you are halfway crazy until you take a bottle of pills or end up in the hospital?

And if someone does want to protect themselves you accuse them of "running away?"

Wow

Going to a hotel is a healthy choice for you marmie... Until this man is able to respect you like an adult you keep away.

Commitment doesn't mean subject yourself to abuse.

In sickness and in health doesn't mean you take every bullet in his arsenal.

Get out of the line of fire until he calms down and engages you with civility and respect.
