What 1 piece of advice would you give a bright and beautiful young woman in a bad marriage to an emotionally abusive man? She has given up her education and her own dreams, believing she can love him enough to change him. Any quotes, affirmations, thoughts (in one or two lines only please) would be wonderful.

Love yourself know that everyone makes mistakes but also know when to correct them you only live once. Good Luck
Been there done that; be upfront and tell him you will no longer tolerate his behavior, if it continues leave him. You can not change him he will have to want to change.
People don’t change
Think for yourself
You know when it’s not right
Depend only on yourself
you must know and love yourself before you love someone else
you lost yourself when you married this man so you need some alone time to reconnect and get to know yourself.
You can’t change anyone.They are set into their ways.Noone deserves to be abused.I am not gonna tell you what to do,but do what makes you happy,and frees your mind
Leave. Tonight.
Bright, beautiful women don’t stay with abusers. Sick, unhealthy ones do.
There’s an old Russian saying - only the grave will change the hunchback.
You can’t change what is not meant to be changed. Accept it, or move on.
Life is short. You are accountable for your life. Good or bad, successful or unsuccessful, happy or sad, fair or unfair you own your life.
First and foremost, love yourself. Be true to yourself. Be strong. God bless you!
You were not raised to be anyone’s emotional punching bag.
Discover the love and respect you have for yourself.
Get Out. Now.
If you stay with him like my mom in your situation. You’ll become ugly old, wrinkled, stressed, bitter, brainwashed, addicted to somthing too make you happy because your not. It can deystroy u ive seen it happend!
Get him into counseling or therapy*… Or get away from him*.. If he doesn’t go to therapy, get out of Dodge*….
A person has to want to change them self. Love yourself first.
