To kick my partner out for this?

I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or not, I'm very upset at the moment and my head is a mess. I'm 20 and my partner is 21. We live together. I spoke to my partner earlier and admitted to him that I've been struggling recently and that my mental health is bad at the moment and that I've spent a lot of time crying recently. His response was "why are you telling me about it, if your mental health is bad then go and kill yourself or something like that". I got angry at him for saying that and he accused me of massively overreacting. I'm thinking about kicking him over but I'm not sure if I would be overreacting or not. I was really upset before his comment but now I'm even more upset. I just can't get past his response to me, it feels like he doesn't care one bit but he says I'm overreacting about what he said. Also, I don't have any friends so if I kick him out then I won't have anyone else to talk to either.

Would I be unreasonable to kick him out for this? I just can't get past what he said to me but he thinks I'm overreacting. I haven't told him yet that I'm thinking about kicking out because I don't know if I'm overreacting or not, I also won't have anyone else if I kick him out because I don't have any friends. My mental health feels worse now than it did before I admitted to him earlier that I'm struggling, I also feel more upset now than I did beforehand as well.

Please report his threat to the police. I hope you’re ok op

You are very young and a bit vulnerable at the moment. He showed you no kindness or compassion at all. The future doesn't look good for you both.
Send him on his way you have enough issues to deal with without having him around

I mean kick him out the house and dump him.
Yes it's my house.

If I do kick him out I won't have anyone else to talk to, I don't have any friends.

Talk to me. And kick him out.

I hope he has now gone and you are feeling safe OP

@CoralHedgehog are you safe now? One of the most dangerous times in an abusive relationship is when you end it

DisforDarkChocolate · 31/03/2024 17:10

If I lived close I'd help him pack. What a cunt.

I hope you have someone else to talk to, mental health is vital. Do you have family? Some employers offer access to mental health support.

I have told him to leave this morning. At first he kicked off and threatened to burn the house down but now he's upstairs packing his things. Hopefully he just leaves after his packing and doesn't kick off like earlier.

He sounds like a truly nasty individual, I hope he's gone from your home and your life now. If he threatens you, please report him to the police. Make sure you take his keys back. If you feel low and need someone to talk to, you can always call/text the Samaritans. They can also give you information about mental health support. There might be a local support group that meet up for a coffee or a walk. Good luck OP 💐

I think you should call the police. He threatened to burn down your house. This is serious. Call them and have them escort him out.

Op I'm sorry he's reacted so badly. The only silver lining is that if you were doubting yourself at all, his reaction and the threats he made 100% confirms that you made the right decision to kick him out and that he is abusive. That's not a normal reaction and again he's absolutely out of line. I would ring the police and log your concern with them about the threats he made. If you feel unsafe at home is there anywhere else you could stay? Womens aid will also be there to support you regardless of whether you stay in your home or not. Stay strong op you're doing the right thing.
