Breaking things off with New boyfriend after this.. ?

WARNING LONG POST!! (and slightly personal) I have posted this here due to being 8 months pregnant (if that effects this situation) and on AIBU because I honestly didn't know what this falls under, Sorry :(

So, I recently started seeing someone, I am currently pregnant with my ex's baby, but that ended a long time ago as he started drinking excessively and becoming physically abusive (this only started after I got pregnant). Anyway..

We wen't out yesterday for our normal date/day, And before we even made it to lunch, He had already drunk 3 (alcoholic) drinks and already slightly drunk (He hadn't eaten all day) and tried to get all Touchy. I wouldn't have minded, but things like trying to stick his hand down my trousers in a fully packed restaurant in front of people made me uncomfortable. I told him this, and he wouldn't stop.

Admittedly, The night before we are talking quite rudely :$ but I made clear to him nothing would happen the next day due to the fact we were going to be in public and I'm not comfortable with being sexual in public.. plus I'm 8 months pregnant.. and even though we talk rude sometimes, He knows full well im not ready for physical stuff at the moment, Something he says he understands and will wait for. Yes, I was beginning to feel comfortable with the idea of sex with him, but now I have just lost all trust.

During dinner he would ''playfully'' (to him, but not me) dig his nails into my hand or bite my fingers to the point of really hurting me and then made a comment about ''How can I be submissive during sex if I couldn't handle him being dominant''. It's a completely different situation.

We decided to go for a walk and ended up in another pub where he had another 4 drinks. But this time, he was slurring words, Walking into doors.. he was drunk, But whenever I tried to say ''We should call it a day..(even though it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon and we only met up at 12.30pm) He would tell me to stop making comments about him drinking because it made him feel bad. This was all just putting me in a bad place as it was like being with my ex again.

Nether the less, I didn't stand up and leave.. mainly because i'd have felt bad leaving him there like that.

Soon the conversation turned into ''I think we should get a hotel next week''. I tried to shrug the conversation off as it wasn't the time nor place, It turned into him TELLING me that once my son was born, I should go on birth control because he didn't want kids. I explained that I couldn't take the pill (as I tried before and it didn't react well to my body) and the idea of the implant or coil wasn't something I liked.. But said I'd think about it. He just continued to pressure me, Until I just shut down and stopped talking until he got the message and dropped it.

He decided to miss his bus and stay longer, Which I didn't like because it meant he had to spend a ton of money on taxi's to get home.. and I just wanted to go home at this point. We went for a walk, hoping that maybe we could just .. be normal for a bit, But then he suggested another pub. I completely shut down the idea (though he wouldnt stop suggesting it) and we went and sat down by the river.

Thats when things just got to much for me. He kept asking me to put my hand down his trousers and touch him, I kept saying no, He tried to force my hand and I pulled away. He started getting a little too rough and hurting me (By grabbing my hands or gripping my chin for kisses). When we were sat down, Despite me saying No, Stop, He shoved his hand down my trousers.

He started asking for ''proper'' kisses, which were kissing with tongue, Not something I've ever liked, and again, I said no. I didn't want to and just from kissing his lips, I could smell and taste the alcohol, At which point, He grabbed my face and tried to force his tongue into my mouth, I pushed him away but he wouldn't stop, eventually, I had to scream for him to stop, and he did. I started crying and he apologized and told me not to shout ''Stop or No'' because we were in public and people were looking. I felt completely unsafe.

After that I was pretty cold towards him while he kept saying sorry and I walked back to my bus to go home. He came with because he didn't want me to walk alone. I couldn't stop him, So I just ignored him.

He DID say how because he bought me an Easter egg, He deserved what he wanted and I shouldn't talk rude with him, if when we meet I wasn't going to do anything (though what we spoke about the night before had nothing to do with being anything when we met) . He made me feel like it was my fault and I was a tease or something, Which, Is playing on my mind. I just feel that... Even if we did talk a certain way the night before, Should It mean I should put up with that he did? Is it my fault? Was he this way simply because he had to much to drink?

To make it all worse, When I got home, My mum told me that our family dog had passed away while I was out, I was completely crushed, and I messaged him (IDK way, Maybe for someone to talk to) ... He has yet to reply. I messaged him again this morning and said we shouldn't be together anymore.

AIBU? Am I to blame for what happened? :'(

None of that was your fault. He wasn't listening to you, or being appropriate in any way. That is HIS problem.

No contact with him at all will be easiest in the long run. You've been clear about what you could tolerate and he didn't listen,. The end. You've already been in an abusive relationship.

Just concentrate on your baby

Lunalovepud · 16/04/2017 11:24

This is man subjected you to sexual assaults yesterday.

Please leave him, block him and concentrate on your baby.

If you are not sure that this is the right course of action then imagine everything that happened yesterday happening in front of your child in a year or so. And it will happen. This is man is showing you exactly who he is. Run, run, run.

BadToTheBone · 16/04/2017 11:24

I could send dh a filthy suggestive text right now, we could get really detailed about what we'd do to each other, yet he would still walk down the stairs and be perfectly normal like nothing had happened and have a chat about having lunch then going for a walk today. This is because our relationship has many different levels and we can flip between them easily, if this man can't do that then he sees you in only one way.

Red flags flying at full mast.

Catherinebee85 · 16/04/2017 11:27

Please please please please please don't ever see him again. You owe him nothing but do owe it to yourself and your baby to keep yourself safe.

By continuing to make advances (and physical ones at that) he was bordering on assaulting you. I am really worried that you stayed with him, and that you carried on kissing him even though you didn't want to. What would he have done if you hadn't been in public, I think that's the scariest thing of all.

Please cut all contact, he will probably blame the drink but don't believe a word of it.

NCFTP1 · 16/04/2017 11:31

Thank you once again for everyone's comments. just to let you all know (who have suggested running or leaving) I have. I text him this morning and told him and I told him exactly why, I explained what he did was out of order and made me uncomfortable and that I didn't like it and no longer want to see him. He hasn't bothered replying but that is for the best.

Oh and yes, I know I posted in two places, as I didn't know what this would fall under. Sowey :)

Do not see that creepy bastard ever again.

Block him now, he is not a good or safe person.

You are going to be giving birth in a few weeks, look after yourself & your baby, you need to keep you both safe..

neonrainbow · 16/04/2017 11:35

Next step is rape. Don't ever ever see him again or be on your own with him again. Stop dating and learn to be happy on your own before you start dating. Your baby will be here soon and they deserve to be your priority.

BadToTheBone · 16/04/2017 11:36

You've done the right thing. You'll only have eyes for one human being in a few weeks anyway, enjoy!

Xmasbaby11 · 16/04/2017 11:38

Focus on your baby and steer clear of this man. Your life will be busy enough when the baby is born.

Lunalovepud · 16/04/2017 11:49

If he does contact you, he will no doubt be full of apologies and remorse and promises of how it wasn't him, it was the drink and he's stressed out / scared / some other BS and it will never happen again, he'll never drink again... It always happens again.

Stay strong OP!

Well done on ending it OP his behaviour is not acceptable

JustMyLuckUnfortunately · 16/04/2017 12:03

PS great advice from Odfod about looking after yourself and learning red flags etc

Snowflakes1122 · 16/04/2017 12:24

So glad to read you have dumped him.
Please don't let him sweet talk you around to trying again. This kind of person only gets worse.

Sorry you have been through this

LynetteScavo · 16/04/2017 12:36

So glad you've dumped him, he sounded horrendous!

Please concentrate on yourself and your baby for now.

ijustwannadance · 16/04/2017 12:56

The fact that you needed to start dating whilst pregnant suggests you don't like being single and seem to rely on being with a man emotionally. Unfortunately the type of men that you pick can spot this a mile off.

The way you have described this man, if you carried on seeing him, if would make me very afraid for the safety of your child. He already hates your baby for preventing you from fucking him. He has told you he does not want kids. He will expect sex as soon as soon as baby is out. He will hate your baby even more when it takes all of the attention you should (in his eyes) be giving him. He will have zero patience for baby crying. It's not his, just in the way. He has alcohol issues. He thought nothing of physically hurting you, and wanting you to keep quiet about it. The baby can't run away or fight back or say stop.

Keep this man and any man remotely like this away from you and your child. Babies are killed by men like this.

Perhaps counselling would help. You are young but you need to alter your thinking. No one deserves to be treated like this.

It might help talking to your midwife. Do you have any other support IRL?

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 16/04/2017 15:55

You are vulnerable because you're heavily pregnant. His behaviour sounds appalling. For your sake and your baby's I'd think about being single for at least the next year. The freedom programme is a good idea. You're very young to have been in 2 shit relationships. Make sure the next one is a healthy one.

Foncy87 · 16/04/2017 20:53

He sounds like a wast of space and not someone that you want around you and your baby. Definitely give him the push!!

TalkingofMichaelAngel0 · 16/04/2017 20:59

Can you ask your mw for. Counselling referral?

mummabubs · 17/04/2017 17:59

Glad you've text him to say it's over, and just to add another voice that reaffirms: it was 100% not your fault that this 'man' sexually assaulted you. (That's what it became as soon as he put his hands down your trousers and didn't respect your communication of no). The rest just sends shivers down my spine. I was also in a relationship like what you've described for 2 years- leaving is the best thing I ever did. You deserve better. Best of luck with the last month of your pregnancy and enjoy meeting your little one 😊 xx
