A guy at cracked.com has a blog that illustrates why "I Gotta Feelin" is the worst song ever. Although I love the song, he makes some pretty funny points.

This week's "How'd You Do It?" Wednesday was about safely leaving a dangerous relationship. Here are some listeners' tips:

[My friend] always found she was stronger and more able to leave him while she was talking to or around friends... So while she was with friends one day, she asked everyone that if there came a day that she called on the spur of a moment, if all of us would be able to drop everything and help her move out?However, in a couple months, all of a sudden she stopped talking to all her friends and disappeared... obviously because she got back together with him. So advice... CUT OFF ALL CONTACT AFTERWARDS! She said she wanted to put closure on things, which ended up being the thing to bring them back together.
I couldn't have done it without my friends or family who love and care about me. The night it happened, a Crisis group from St. Paul called me and told me about a support group which I attended weekly for several months. If you know someone in an abusive relationship, try to at least be there for them when they do decide to leave, they will need your support!
When I heard myself say the next time he hits me I'll leave, it dawned on me, Why did there have to be a next time? So I called a couple of my male friends and told them what was going on. They said they would move me out and into a girl friend's house as long I promised never to go back. I moved out the next day. And never looked back.
How to get out of a dangerous relationship: REPORT IT! Get it on record because it will follow him if he does it to you or someone else in the future. My mother did this when my father became abusive. We were lucky enough to resolve it, but he was forced to go for a psych eval, anger mgmnt, and neurotics anonymous. This website is AWESOME: www.mcbw.org
I moved across the country while he was in California for two weeks.
He was in the military and was being deployed to Bosnia. During his leave is when I got enough guts to leave. I would recommend any contact being done with other people around.
I had my daughter call 911... While he was in jail for the weekend, I moved. I also got a restraining order and called police EVERY TIME he called!
1. Get the restraining order and CARRY IT WITH YOU keep copy on you, in the car etc...
2. Stay somewhere else for a week friends, family, women's shelter
3. Change your routine a little (take a different route to work, park in a different area, etc?.)
4. Inform your boss, school, daycare what's going on. More than likely they might come to your job and/or kids schools
5. Follow through when they break the restraining order (not if but WHEN cuz they will eventually)
6. If you have to leave make sure that you have all your stuff in order (papers, money, clothes etc)
7. Make sure you take advantage of domestic violence support groups and/or get therapy. Read books on leaving abusive relationships and start all over from here rebuilding your new life. You might need to obtain a job, get an apartment, get a car, etc. What people don?t' realize is that this part is also really hard. Once you've left you have to heal from the abuse but you also are dealing with a breakup at the same time so it makes it twice as hard. It takes a woman an average of 7 times to leave so when you are ready and going to go MAKE A PLAN!
The "Man Your Man Could Smell Like" Old Spice commercial is easily the best commercial ever. This video talks with the guys who wrote it, and how it was made. It's a 19 minute video, but easily worth every minute.
