You can tell us what's going on between you and your boyfriend and that will give us a good view from the outside but relationships are more complicated then that. We can't know what your feelings for him are or his feelings for you. You are the only one that can properly weigh the pros and cons of your relationship taking all of your feelings into account.

We can't tell you wether you should or shouldn't leave him. The truth is - you already know the answer. The hard part is not deciding what you should do. The hard part is admitting to yourself what you have already decided.

Very true, we could be considered practically blind as to what is going on. All we can do is use our own experience from similar conditions and help our friend in a time of need, and ultimately it is up to Laura.

Agreed Steffe, which is also why I felt I needed to add that in my experience, I couldn't however say every animal owner ever is an incredible person or otherwise.
