[QUOTE]Originally posted by agabrielle: [QB] My previous boyfriend hit me towards the end of our relationship, and I left him. I never looked back. Good for you for getting out of an abusive relationship. It took me a long time to tell my current boyfriend what really happened, because I didn't like to admit it to myself. But, after he grabbed onto my wrist the same way my ex had right before he hit me (he wasn't going to hit me, but it reminded me of the previous occurence so vividly.), I freaked out. He didn't understand what he'd done, and so I took a deep breath and told him why I freaked out so much over something as seemingly innocuous as his grabbing my wrist to pull me away from some running freshmen in the hall). Long story short, he understood and was compassionate about what had happened. If your new guy is worth it, he'll understand and be there for you, and most importantly, he won't hurt you. It's up to you whether you tell him, but you can't really know what kind of guy he is until you see his reaction to something like that. It sounds like you'd be a lot happier if you told him, and your happiness is very important, and I think you know that since you made the choice to leave an abuser for your own sake. Good luck!
