I have to leave don’t I?

My husband. Tonight, kicked me three times and called me names.

I have bruises and a gash,

It’s two hours later and he hasn’t apologised. I locked myself in another room but he made a point of using it.

I’m broken. He is normally nice but this was a kickboxing attack over portion control on oven control. I’ve lost sense of what is reasonable but I’m fairly sure he isn’t the person to tell me what is.

Did I cause this? Criticising him for putting out 6 fish fingers, and 13 chicken dippers and two waffles for one person? Even if I did, and was being unreasonable, should I get kicked?

Yes you have to leave
No you didn’t cause it
Please call Women’s Aid when you can

RainbowPastel · 07/12/2017 21:01

You would never ever deserve it. Make yourself safe and call Women's Aid.

hidinginthenightgarden · 07/12/2017 21:01

Yes you need to leave. This is not your fault.

Migraleve · 07/12/2017 21:02

No you absolutely did not cause this.

Please get yourself somewhere safe

cestlavielife · 07/12/2017 21:04

Leave and call police to report.
Go get checked at a and e.
Even if he had apologized it would not make it ok.
Go out now call 999 you have been assaulted
999 is ok.
You need urgent help

Iris65 · 07/12/2017 21:04

I am so sorry. Yes, you have to leave. His behaviour will escalate if you stay because by staying you have given him permission to continue to abuse you. Believe me, I know.
Is there someone you can go and stay with tonight if you are able to?

cestlavielife · 07/12/2017 21:04

And he needs arresting

Bubblysqueak · 07/12/2017 21:04

This is absouletly not your fault. Yes you need to leave. Stay safe Flowers

IllBeAtTheBarIfYouNeedMe · 07/12/2017 21:04

You know what you need to do. You are strong enough to do it.

Please get somewhere safe. You did not deserve that at all.

FusionChefGeoff · 07/12/2017 21:05

He KICKED you?!?!?

THREE times?!?!

That is NOT normal. Call the police or Women’s Aid.

WindowWiper · 07/12/2017 21:05

No need to analyse, he beat you - it’s time to call the police to put him out of the house.

Sorry this has happened to you, OP, what an awful bloody shock it must be.

AntiHop · 07/12/2017 21:06

I'm assuming this isn't the first time? Please get out as soon as you can and report him to police.

Cloudylemons · 07/12/2017 21:08

Just try to be brave and go now, there’s nothing to rationalise, he’s wrong and you’re not. You can call 999 x

LemonysSnicket · 07/12/2017 21:09

Hes not only Unreasonable, he's actually Criminal. A Physical Attack on another person is battery, on your partner is Domestic Violence. Get your passport, wallet, etc and go to A&E. Call Women's aid and report to police.

This is not your fault. You could've yelled at him for breathing and wouldn't have deserved being beaten. He is out of fucking order.

OnTheRise · 07/12/2017 21:09

You most definitely didn't cause it.

Get yourself somewhere safe then call the police. He is properly dangerous.

Are you sure you don't need A&E?

Mayhemmumma · 07/12/2017 21:11

Go to a friend or family- with any children you have and call the police.

brokeninmoreways · 07/12/2017 21:13

I can’t leave. Our son is here- I’m not going anywhere without him.

If I lay low hopefully this thread will remind me tomorrow not to rationalise and leave.

Yes it’s not the first time he’s assaulted me- but yes, first time he’s kicked me

I keep wanting to hold it together as 95% all is ok but of course that’s bullshit isn’t it?

MrsMozart · 07/12/2017 21:13

Get out. Call the police.

Handhold.

ApplesTheHare · 07/12/2017 21:14

This is not your fault at all, please leave and go somewhere safe, you deserve so much better Flowers

ApplesTheHare · 07/12/2017 21:15

OP sorry didn't realise your son was there too. Please leave with him as soon as you can. Can you go to parents or friends and tell them what's happened?

ApplesTheHare · 07/12/2017 21:17

And 0% is OK if he's kicking you, or being violent in any way. Please look after yourself and your ds Flowers

GertrudeCB · 07/12/2017 21:17

Police. Tonight.

smartiecake · 07/12/2017 21:18

How old is your son OP?
Yes you need to end the relationship. Either you leave or get him to leave.
Can you go to a police station tomorrow and get it logged?
Do you own the house? Mortgage?
Do you have family and friends who can help?

SparklingSnowfall · 07/12/2017 21:20

Oh lovely, you absolutely, 100% must leave at the very earliest opportunity. Do you have anybody who could help you?

You didn't cause this, it's not your fault.

GreenTulips · 07/12/2017 21:20

Yes you need to leave or call the police and they will make him leave
