Yes my ex never laid a hand on me it was verbal and emotional abuse, and thankfully I had my own place and a good paying job, not everyone is so fortunate.

My last longterm wanted me to move in with him, and even talked marriage, it ended when I moved out of my apartment into a house with my daughter. He realized I wasn't giving up my independence. I don't think he would have hurt me, but we just had no chemistry, and I won't be in a relationship just to be in a relationship.
