Please I need help.
I’ve been dating a guy for 4 years now and I know he loves me nuts. He has always tolerated my excesses and never hit me.
But just recently, he hit me with his belt once and I cried seriously. (I had always vowed that the day a guy lays a finger on me, it’s goodbye because I know whatever a person does before marriage, they would do after)
I’ve told him I want out but I’m confused because I caused it.
I dared him and my stubbornness made him hit me. He was doing some office work and I put off the light for some stupid reason. He asked me to put it back on several times but I was disrespectful and told him to leave me alone. I really pushed him. He hit me once and has been begging since.
I told him I can’t be with someone who hit me, no matter what I do.
I am confused. Please advice me. Should I forgive him as I caused it or should I breakup because I am scared he might hit me in future.
