Abuse????

[Wallflower22]

My partner of 5yrs this morning has thrown a pot of yoghurt at me which exploded all over me and the floor then opened a bag of salad and tipped it over my head all infront of my 4yr old because i said i didn't like natural yoghurt. What would you all make of that and what would you do? Based on this info alone without a back story

Yes it is abuse. You need to leave. Is this the first time? I think that is just plain nasty anyway and even if it was the first time I wouldn't stick around to see if it happens again.

Sorry OP I thought this was a more recent post and didn't see the updates. Glad you contacted women's aid. Best of luck and hope you manage to get away.

Update - so i have spoken to womens aid this morning who gave me advice on local services to contact who can help me. Tried calling these services and no one is picking up the phone so i have had to email them for help which stated someone will get back to me within 3 working days. Hopefully it will be sooner

Fingers crossed for you @Wallflower22. You've got this.

Good to hear, OP. Hope it progresses quickly. Wishing you the best of luck.

Abuse. You have to cut people a bit of slack in a relationship. We all have bad days, get tired, etc, and yell at each other. But that wasn’t a mere outburst of anger. As others have written, he was degrading you. Tipping food over someone humiliates them. It’s the kind of thing a school bully would do.

I'm so glad you've started the ball rolling by emailing woman's aid
Sending you strength to get through this unsettling time
A better life awaits you
