Need some clarity. Been smacked in the face

Boyfriend just made my lip bleed by smacking me in the face because my printer didn't work. I'm sat in the bath, he's left my place.

He's under a lot of stress and this tipped him over the edge, he could see I was upset but shouted at me saying I should've known that it wasn't working.

I'm just so fucking confused now, thinking I should have helped with that more. What the fuck?

There is absolutely nothing to get clear apart from this guy hit you in the face-get as far away from him as possible.

Do you live together? I'd change the locks.

Call the police and dump him Flowers

No excuses for this behaviour.

So sorry Flowers

Police. You've been assaulted and injured. There is NO excuse for this, and it is NOT your fault in any way.

Guitargirl · 16/11/2016 13:34

I'd say he has just made things pretty clear for you.

Sorry this has happened to you.

You need to end the relationship today. Any level of stress he has is no excuse.

Ineedsomeclaret · 16/11/2016 13:34

If I'm honest this isn't the first time... He did this to me at the weekend in his friends house too, I was sat crying in the bathroom and had to come out all smiling like nothing had happened. God I feel such a weakling even writing about it. I would t dare telling my friends about this We don't live together

It's great that you don't live together.

Get rid of him today, now.

It's really not my fault. He is a bully, even his brother said that to me

You need to end this now. Immediately. You do not want to live uour life as a domestic abuse victim. Text him it's over , tell him it's because he hit uou and delete him, this is just the start, he will escalate. Get out now . Seriously get out now. Tell your friends and family so uou can't go back.

KondosSecretJunkRoom · 16/11/2016 13:39

He's a thug. You've been assaulted. Phone the police.

wideboy26 · 16/11/2016 13:39

Well there you are then. Even other people know what he's like. End the relationship now.

intravenouscoffee · 16/11/2016 13:40

Leave him now. If he has a key, get the locks changed. Block his number, remove all traces of him.

Take pictures of your face, even if you don't want to report him to the police. Look at the pictures every time you catch yourself thinking something nice about him.

And tell your friends why you dumped him. It's because he's an abusive piece of scum.

Rumtopf · 16/11/2016 13:40

Call the police and dump him pronto.
Make sure he hasn't got a key to your place, get the locks changed if necessary.

This is completely unacceptable, value yourself more highly. Tell the truth and sod how he feels.

loobyloo1234 · 16/11/2016 13:42

Please call the police OP. This is not acceptable. Do you have anywhere you can go for a few days to stay?

SecretPeanut · 16/11/2016 13:42

Shut him out, change the locks now, keep a bat by your door if you have to. Tell everyone whats happened including the police. He has done it before, its not going to stop anytime soon. You can stop this now

Ineedsomeclaret · 16/11/2016 13:42

I have manic depression and have just come out of a mania cycle, I literally cannot have this happen to me. I'm getting straight again.

Call the police now. This is terrible and will only get worse.

wherearemymarbles · 16/11/2016 13:45

So he has done this twice. There will be a 3rd, 4th, 5th... keep adding a number for as long as you stay.
He is a coward. He'd never hit man, he might get hurt.

He is complete and utter scum. Call the police and have him charged with assult.

SecondMrsAshwell · 16/11/2016 13:46

He hit you in the face because the printer doesn't work?

Ask yourself this, what will he do if something really bad happens to him? If he loses his job, if one of his parents dies, if his house burns down. What would he do to you then?

Get rid, change the lock and don't listen when he tries to wheedle his way back in.

PortiaCastis · 16/11/2016 13:46

Do not associate with this man, call these people for help
