I'll try not to drip feed but I really need some advice. I've been in an emotionally abusive relationship for 18 months although his true colours didn't show for about 3 months when I found out he was still in a relationship with his girlfriend of 2 years and apparently was too scared to end it with her when we got together. We were blissfully unaware of each other until I posted something on FB tagging him and he forgot to hide the post from her.
Anyway what has pursued was 15 months of verbal emotional sexual and psychological abuse. The police are aware, I'm 2 months into the freedom programme and I'm also on a self esteem course. I have professionals and support around me. He doesn't know that I have this support and doesn't know I've reported him to the police. Social Services want me to end the relationship as it's affecting my mental health.
I don't want to be with him anymore but it's not that simple. He had a police record (I did Clare's Law disclosure) for stalking and harassing 3 other exes when they ended it. I've tried ending it fave to face but he manages to talk me round.
I'm a good person with sound morals but I've got to the point where I either just want to text him with bye and block and delete him off everything, or just simply not even bother with the bye and just delete and block. I have a panic alarm at home and I have a sig marker so I feel reasonably protected.
Or should I try and have another conversation with him explaining why it's not working out? I believe he is a narcissist too. My morals say not to just ghost him but I don't know how else to get away from him.
Any ideas?
