Lots of things building up. Long story short, I've packed a bag and I'm leaving.

Other half has hid my car keys and gone out.

What do I do????!!!!!

That’s very deliberate of him and I would not let it stop you going if there is any way you can.

There are loads of companies who can sort this quickly.

Ring a taxi, or get your family to come and pick you up. You really think he isn't abusive, when he's bothered himself to take your car key and go out so that you can't leave?

call your family. to take your only means of transport is being a total arse. what if there was an emergency?

Angelf1sh · 04/03/2018 08:05

Taxi. I’d say get the auto lock people out but we don’t know when he’ll come back and he might turn nasty, so just go ASAP. The car can wait till tomorrow.

I also think this is abuse. It’s your car legally, I assume. Will your family collect you?

chinnyrekkon · 04/03/2018 08:18

Why does he need to be sure you can't get away!? Is he going to return and 'punish' you?

I hope you are already in a taxi op. Don't look back. Xx

Abuse can escalate when the woman tries to leave, please call your family and have someone come and get you. It may seem like taking your keys was just a dickhead thing to do, but I actually think it sounds far more sinister than that.

Is there a reason you are leaving?

If it’s owned/rented in both your names I’d lock the door, stay put & not let him back in.
