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?

I really hope you’re ok OP x

I am - I left. Thank you to everyone who validated how wrong it was.

You were fantastic. I have read every message over and over.

You made a difference. Next time a woman like me posts- please don’t think of someone positing and then never hearing back. Please just do it.

This made me tear up, I’ve been thinking of you and hoping that you were safe.

You are incredible, and so very brave. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness Flowers

OP you have every right to do what you want and need with a thread. You have used it to give you the strength to leave. That must have taken guts and used up most of your energy. You never owed anyone an update.

But I am delighted to see this one from you - well done. I hope your new life without him is peaceful and happy.
