Not at all. I lived in a house that was rented in my name. DH had been violent many, many times, issued threats like your DP, emotionally abused me and the babes, the works.
He was violent to me in front of my sister, I had him removed by the Police and had sufficient evidence for a prosecution (found guilty) and an injunction - the latter of which which I would HIGHLY recommend in your case, he will be arrested if he tries to approach you.
Some months later, I fell for the "I've changed" routine and took him back. Nothing of course DID change. He threatened me once more and I knew then that I had to take more serious action. To be blunt, and not going into too much detail, I had someone 'speak' to him to make it clear that there were bigger, more violent bullies than him out there.
I'm not proud of doing that, but I am still today sure that I would have ended up either far more seriously hurt, my DDs would be hurt or I would crack if I didn't. It was that last threat which did it, that he would "turn me over, he'd done it before and he'd do it again", that scared me, forced me into the real world and the comprehension of the risk I and my DDs were at.
