Oh bloody hell [Images may be triggering - warning added by MNHQ]

Name changed. My face is scratched up to shit. Can't leave the house. He is a complete and utter bastard. Reported him so many times and the police don't care. Then again, I am a fool for continuing to see him.

Explain it - you tell the truth. If you're scared to say it allowed text ahead to whoever you are meeting.

Explain to who ?
You tell the truth , you have done nothing wrong
Go to the police / hospital now

I have to go and sort out my horse (probably outing self). There will be lots of people on the yard. Big cut is quite deep. Like gouged? If that makes sense. Oh fucking fuck. I just want to stay in bed today.

You clearly have no intention of ending the relationship or you wouldn't even be considering covering up for him. Do you have children op?

There's no point staying in bed or wailing what have I done, only you can change this.

Having got the T-Shirt I understand how you are feeling right now but you have got to stop covering up what is happening to you. Tell people what he's done to you don't explain it away. You don't live with him so you don't have to go back to him - finish it now and report him.

I fear that your reluctance to tell people how you got your injuries means that you are not thinking of finishing this relationship

No children, thank god. And yes, oh yes, this is the end. Not going to fall for hiss pathetic lies and bullshit anymore, and not going to be his punching bag when he is not happy anymore. For fucks sake, I have two degrees, I am a professional. What the hell was wrong with me????

You tell people the truth, and their reaction will give you the courage and support to never see this man again

Don't cover up his abuse by lying for him - let everyone know what happened

No. Sorry if you think that I am not ending it. It is over. Blocked etc. Just feeling a tad sorry for myself right now. That's all. Sorry.

You can do this, block his number, tell everyone exactly why you've split up and keep the photographs as evidence

It's not your fault, but you need to take back control now

Good to hear :) do you have a plan in place for if he turns up at the door or anything? What's he likely to do when he finds out its over?

Well done OP :)

Get him lifted and charged. Tell the truth if anybody asks and look at those photos again when he does the begging act.

I have been there, i know it's hard. But i am so glad that you have decided this is the last time and that you are not going back to him. When you go to sort your horse out (or whatnot) and people ask, tell them the truth, you can't hide that with make up and you shouldn't have to either. Be honest, they will support you 100% i am sure. You don't have to lie or try and cover this up.

Go to the police now while your emotions and injuries are raw. If it's reported and he come around and threatens you etc it is all documented as DV, giving you more support.

Tell the truth. And press charges.

Have you considered participated in a freedom programme ?

They won't care. Like I said ive reported him before. Oh god that makes me sound like even more of a prat...

What is a freedom programme?

Report him again and see your GP.

Looking at thst photo they absolutely will care.

Walk into a police station now with those deep scratches and they'll care. Did they give you a crime reference number before?

Sorry, probably shouldn't have posted that photo... My mistake. Just cant bare the thought of having to explain to people... Going to ring the police when I get back.

You must report it again. It needs to be on record in case you need a restraining order etc. Don't cover for him, tell everyone the truth. There is safety in numbers.

Yes I have a crime reference number from last time. Oh good grief I am such an idiot....'from last time'... I need to kick myself up the arse.
