So Im travelling at the moment with my partner. Its obvs tough spending lots of time together, so wd have got through the bickering & silly stuff. Tonight we argued (after drinking) & he stormed off. He has now been gone for 3 hrs & I have no idea where he is. This is the 2nd time this has happened so far.

My gut is telling me to go home. I dont feel safe when he does this.

Not sure what im expecting, but good to type xxx

You are home, you are safe; those are the important things.

Take a little time to regroup and plan for the future. Be proud you were strong enough to end it.

I would imagine you are currently in shock.
The adrenalin is keeping you going.
But... you will have a crash so be ready for it.
Look after yourself.
Keep busy. Go for a run, re-arrange your room, contact friends and arrange visits etc.....
Look for work or contact CAB to see what you would be entitled to in benefits until you are back on your feet.
You're strong - you'll get there.
Take it one day at a time.

Thanks Hells, funny you should say that, but ive already started planning to redecorate the spare room at mums, & also have a detox/exercise.

Im sure a crash will come, in fact im positive it will. But in the meantime, I just feel good about the decision. When I thought about exercise, it made me realise that I stopped that when I got with him. Infact, I stopped everything that was good for me. I even started smoking again, which I haven't done for years. I know I can make my own choices, I guess im just realising that we dont bring out the best in each other.
