To think being swore at and called names isn't my fault?

The last couple of months my partner has completely changed towards me. Every time I ask him a question I get a mouthful about how I'm trying to control him, I genuinely don't believe I'm a controlling person. He accuses me of bullying him, emotionally abusing him, and constantly calls me a bitch and worse.

I've asked him so many times to stop calling me names and telling me to F off, and he says it's not possible for him to stop because it's my fault I make him so angry.

The way I make him angry is because I am heavily pregnant and getting no support from him. He's stopped wanting sex which I can deal with ... but now he just doesn't want to speak to me at all. I tell him how unhappy I am and how much I miss him and he just starts shouting at me.

I've said I'd rather leave than continue like this and he tells me I'm ridiculous and there's nothing wrong.

Now, surely. Even if I was being super annoying which I may well be to be honest I am struggling with this pregnancy.... it's not ok to speak to me like that? And actually, isn't he the one acting like a bully? I feel like everything I do is wrong. I was driving, admittedly very slowly because of the ice and he went insane at me telling me to effing hurry up. Am I being gas lighted here? And what the hell has happened to him?

He really wasn't like this before!

@silverpurple How are you doing? I hope you are holding out. He is an abusive ass and filling the trend perfectly. Abuse, acuse, honeymoon phase.

You are doing fantastic! Tell your parents, get a no-molest order. Tell all of your friends so you get all the support. Do you own your home? If so, talk to a lawyer and get advice on what to do with his property. Can you get him charged for destroying your property? If so, do it!

Re-read you original post and updates in week or when you think about taking him back!

Have you changed the locks yet? Even if he gives you his keys back, he could have copies, so it's imperative that the locks are changed.

What is the situation with the house? Owned, rented? Whose name?

Hi OP i hope you're okay.

Did you show the videos to the Police and the photos of the damage? Have you shown his fanily members too?

Im just shocked at how much they're minimising the violence towards a heavily pregnant woman.

Please tell the rest of your family. You will need their support x
