I've been seeing a new man. We have not yet slept together, but get on like a house on fire.
He is good looking, I am very attracted to him. WE must have spent nso many hours on the phone since we met (July)
He treats me so well, but is vile to other people. I thought he was boisterous, but some friends have pointed out how scared people actually are of him.
This week was a revelation. He called me from probation; I did not know he was on probation. He was swearing at the receptionist while on the phone to me. It turns out he is on probation for fighting and really resents it.
Virtually every day he will tell me about someone he is very angry with (probation, boss, mum, mum's partner, random in the pub....).
There is no question he has to go. But I'm terrified :( I am dreading being the object of his anger. I made the decision after the probation phone call but did not know howI was going to go about it. Last night I decided that I would contact him today and say how I feel. I've been shaking, spent all morning on and off the loo with terror. I've gone completely off radar to a friends house. I know I should just contact him and end it NOW but I'm putting off the fallout, which could be horrible.
I'm a regular and have name changed, partly because I do not want to be outed, and partly because I'm so ashamed to be in this ridiculous situation.
Please kick me (gently) into touch
