So i thibk stupidly i have managed to fall for an idiot yet again. Ive been staying with him (only me no kids) with my 2 dogs and his cat... Not bewn a problem together although will admit puppy has struggled and has had a few accidents (hes a dog not his fault i think its just a new place), frustrating i get it but hardly the end of the world. He was one who suggested them up here!

So long story short i get back from work this evening (was offered little bits when im here by someone local), made a lovely tea and he fed pets. Dogs 1 side of stairgate cat the other, works great except he left gate open and dog ate the cats food. Well he went mad banging things, shouting the lot. I was so angry i said i would just take dogs home tommorow and started getting bits together. Well he went mad basically threatening to throw me out, id ended our relationship... i was mental, crazy. Its in the middle of no where the nearest station is 4 hours walk along Country roads so obv cant walk tonight, poss can in morning but its dangerous roads or have to hope he will take me.

Hes allowed me to stay and ive shut myself in a bedroom but i just feel so stupid. He's told me i ended things, it's all my fault I've fucked up everything etc. How the hell did i not see these red flags or am i in wrong. I got angry for him yelling at the dog but i dont really think it was dogs fault he forgot to shut a gate. Literally all this is over. Everything seems to be twisted to my fault the slightest thing becomes something I've done. I left a really abusive relationship a couple of years ago and this guy seemed so nice and genuine so I just keep thinking is it me? Am i in the wrong? Or seeing flags where there aren't any?

I know in my heart maybe i need tl just walk away if this is what hes like but i keep second guessing myself

Not stupid, just misled. For someone to over react like this is crazy - you are right to see it as a problem. Better to see it now - hope you can get out early tomorrow. Thank goodness you have somewhere to go to. Hang in there.

Lots of red flags. Getting angry with an animal over his own error. Losing his temper and shouting at an animal for a minor inconvenience. Playing power games with you by threatening to throw you out when it's not safe or practical. Blaming you for everything. He may well be capable of being lovely when he chooses, but he's a nasty piece of work when he wants to be. Given your history in particular I think he's the last thing you need and you're right to move on. Keep things calm tonight and until you are able to get to the station safely. Could someone fetch you? Or is a taxi an option?

It'll feel better in the morning, you've done the right thing in finishing it.

If you're safe that's good, but even if things seem better in the morning it's time to finish it.

He lost his shit like that because your dog ate his cats food?

Get the fuck out. How can people be like this? Even if he's embarrassed over his mistake leaving the gate open, there's no excuse for that behaviour over such a minor thing. Give the cat another meal. Shut the dogs away.

You need to call a cab and leave tonight tbh.

Didn't want to read and run.

Do you feel safe? Do you have a friend who could come and get you? Can you call a taxi?

It sounds like a total overreaction on his part and I'm not surprised you feel shocked / upset.
