So I'm 25 weeks, my fiancé still does not have a job, pushes me around, cusses & yells at me, smokes allllll the time, PLUS had his "best friend" & his gf move in.. & he's always with them & does stupid ****, His best friends girlfriend sits there & smokes with **** too. He always tells me he'll quit doing this & quit doing that, but doesnt. I'm so tired of this.. I feel taken advantage of. Plus his best friend is really abusive to his gf too, totally insecure, doesnt let her leave, or anything. I'm just fed up.. & I'm not sure what I can do about it.. Im only 16 & my fiance is 18, we are getting married before the baby & I'm scared that once we tie the knot that he'll become worse.. How do I deal with this nonsense? Please no bashing!

They are beliefs.. They do this stuff allllll the time.

My tribe is also based on the northwest. I've NEVER heard those beliefs.

Its not so much called being tortured but they do starve you, bite you, laugh at you, & club you, & you will be punished for talking while in there. They call it more of cleansing then torturing. But in my eyes its torture cause I've been in the smoke house before when I was 13.

I never said it was his house. It is my house..

I'm Yakama & coastal from lummi tribe. In the northwest.. They do, do that. No cops have interfered before because everyone around here is Either Yakama or lummi.

I've never heard of being tortured for getting pregnant before marriage belief through ANY tribe. I've heard of the not being able to look at dead bodies because my tribe also follows that belief. if that kind of stuff is going on on the rez then yes law enforcement can get involved.

You said in an earlier post that You live in HIS house.  This time You are saying it's YOUR house.

I stand by my statement of a few minutes ago
