Alice,

To the reader who wrote My boyfriend hits me...:

If you don't mind me saying, as a man, I believe it is wrong for a man to lay his hands on a woman in that manner. In fact if he does, he is no man, but a craven, a coward. You should leave that man right away, he is dangerous and violent, and old dogs never change. Please, please follow my advice, or the consequences may be grievious.

Honey,

Are you crazy? Leave! Don't waste any more of your precious time. A question to ask yourself: would I hit someone I loved and respected? This guy is all about himself and control. When you find someone else, remember this: love is more than a 50-50 relationship. Love is 75-75 — it is everything over 100 percent that makes it work.
