embarassment EVERYONE should go on the web and learn about the "Cycle of Abuse" because sooner or later you are going to know someone that is either mentally or physically abused. The main reason both men and women of abuse say little is fear; they have been brain-washed into thinking it's all their fault and they deserve it and if a man he is terrified if he utters being physically or verbally abused his friends will wonder what kind of man is he. Remember, men are brought up to not hit a woman. The victim may not be ready to take that big giant leap to see a counselor or go to an Abused Women's Center (there are programs for men too.) Victims of abuse have low self esteem and are basically feeling trapped. They know if they confide in a friend what that friend will say "Get out of the relationship." It isn't that easy and some abusers can be vendictive, so when one of us should offer the advice it's important that they have a trusted friend or family member behind them before they make plans to leave the abuser.
There's no way to hide your relationship status to specific people. The only option you would have if you didn't want someone to see would be to block that person which would be kind of rude.
Abuse
absolutely not. if he loves you he would be proud regardless of the situation or outcome.
the relationship is that so if the animal(s) get hunted they can hide from the hunter(s)
Well if you're afraid no one will believe you get a little camera hide it somewhere and if he starts beating you up you will have proof. Then take it to the cops and he will go to jail and you move somewhere far away and start a new life. Verbal abuse can be as harmful as physical abuse and should not be tolerated by anyone, especially someone who represents law enforcement. But you know that already. The question is, would you stay with him if he weren't abusive? If you love him and want the relationship to get better, perhaps you could think about couples counseling.
Individually speaking nothing; if a person has nothing to hide then they should not have secrets from either partner.
I would hide somewhere dangerous where they would be scared to go inside!
hate...
That would depend entirely on your definition of abuse. As an example in some jurisdictions having goldfish in a bowl without any decorations for them to hide behind is considered abuse as it reduces their privacy.
If i were you i would hide it up a tree or under a tree but if you already tried that then i would hide it somewhere people would never expect it to be.
Do you mean like cheating on someone or trying to hide it from friends and family?
that he has something to hide. or he doesnt want people to know he is dating you. or he already has a girlfriend. or it could have something to do with his family or his friends
