My partner and I have been together for 4 years. Our relationship started out almost like a fairytale, then turned into a nightmare. There was a lot of domestic violence, and he's now in prison for it. He's not serving a very long sentence as I've stood by him, withdrawing statements and trying to get him out of trouble basically. Due to the violence and stuff, no one in my family knew I was seeing him, and I didn't talk to his family either.
