You're so young (I take it you are 21?) You've many, many years before you have to settle with someone, so you can afford to be very picky. I agree about speaking to Women's Aid as there is a lot they can do to help you. You and your baby do not need violence in your life.

So you're saying he is getting arrested for stamping on your glasses?? Are you sure it wasn't more? It would be really unusual for police to do this. Sorry if I've misunderstood...is this the only thing that happened??

kelly21 · 14/10/2013 18:16

yes thats the only thing that happend i think its because of things he has done in the past i dont know what i am completly in the dark its just ripping me apart all i ever wanted was a normal happy life

Ok..can you tell us a but more about the a that incident. Where were you, who reported it?? Why don't you know what happened before? Have you asked him? Do you ran in a previous relationship or with you??

Sorry for the questions but I'm
Not quite understanding. What I do know that if you're pregnant you don't need this stress. Is there someone in rl you can talk this over with? Your mum? X

Kelly, apologies now if I've misunderstood but I haven't read all the posts, just focussing on your question. but if he's been violent then get out now. This relationship can never really make you happy.
From a legal point of view if you are regretting going to the police and don't want it to go any further then do not give a statement to the police and I would certainly not incriminate yourself either. Say nothing. They will no doubt still interview him and then decide whether to charge him or not with common assault probably (I'm not sure what the extent of the violence was but if you have no visible injury), in reality if he is a first time offender and you do not support a conviction ie have not given a statement then they have no evidence (assuming he denies it) and will likely not take it further. If you have already given a statement to the police you have the option to withdraw it if you wish. The CPS and police do take domestic violence quite seriously though so you never know.
Really though, whether you let him get away with it or not, you need to seriously assess whether this is somebody that you really want in your life. These things never end well, from someone who's been there trust me.
Good luck
