<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

We have had a great 8 year relationship so far, but this last year things have been going downhill fast. It started when I got a new job that is my dream job, and occupies all my time. She helped me with it and our dynamic changed very quick. 

Well after that experience, our relationship is a lot more tense. It is a gradual downhill battle, things are getting vicious. I have gotten into a bad depression due to all the stress I was under. She has a history of depression to, so you would think she would be on my side over it, but she has slowly begun despising me.  She won't let me touch her for one, any time we do it becomes a bit thing. She got an IUD which really hurts, scrapes against it. She refuses to believe it is a problem and says it's in my head. So we have not been intimate. 

Today she wanted to take a nap and I wanted to relax in bed with the computer, and she said I'm not allowed to, I have to leave. But I wouldn't, then she starts beating on me, hitting me, kicking me, scratching me, screaming. I never seen anything like it. 

I think that I should leave her. Our eight year relationship was so fun and respectful and it just turned ugly so fast. But there are a few things I am worried about. One is we have a cat and dog. I am worried I would never get to see them again. 

Should I take the dog? 

Two is, I still love her... but I can't do this anymore. I can't be with her and fight 24/7. It will just get uglier and uglier at this stage. 

We have been together so long, we are a family. I am really afraid to leave her and break up our little family. 

Getting all my things in the apartment. Seeing her date other men. It is frightening to me. She was the only relationship I ever had. 

I think I need the courage to do what I have to. Right now my body is so sore from all the hitting she did.
<bot>: Relationship has gotten ugly fast. Today it got violent. I love her though, we are a family. I am so lost.
