I have to agree with Rosa, Adtr. You are in an abusive relationship and you've got to get out. You say your boyfriend has strangled you countless number of times -- don't you see that if he goes too far just once you could die?
He says he loves you, but he doesn't know how to love you if he is physically abusive to you. A man who loves a woman does not almost break her wrists, or strangle her, or hit her in any way, ever. Ever.
Don't blame yourself for what's gone wrong here. This is NOT about whether you have gained 20 pounds or whether you are doing all the right things. This is about your boyfriend's view of life, and what is and is not OK for him to do.
Adtr, do you have any close friends, or family of your own?
What city and state are you in?
Have you ever thought about leaving your boyfriend because of the drinking and the violence?
