Hi

Semi regular but NC.

Could anyone give their time to read and advise please?

Recently had a bit of an incident and am
a little unsure how to perceive it.

Just wondering how hard does someone need to punch you to give you a dead leg?
Or is it a matter of precision than strength?
My DP punched me in the thigh the other day and I'm a little unsure what to think of it. He laughed and apologised when I said "ouch" but when I told him he'd hurt me and I had a dead leg he became angry and defensive saying "well you shouldn't be so weak and fragile then."

Should I have reason to be concerned or am I overreacting? All I know is it's niggling me and I am avoidant of him. This was over something quite inconsequential.

Apologise if this is badly written but I've had a glass of vodka.

Thanks BlueUggs, I'll try and get my ducks in a row as best as possible. I've made the decision now at least so will start from there. My friends have assured me they'll help any way they can.

Thanks Shoxfordian, I'll give WA a call as soon as possible, their advice would be appreciated. Yes it's partly that the situation seems to be escalating that makes me want out now. I don't want to be punched again, especially by someone who purports to love me.

Category12 - Thanks, yeah it seemed odd that he needed to keep telling me how nice he is; almost like brainwashing!

Thanks for the reassurance AnyFucker. I'll call WA as soon as possible.

Thanks DisplayPurposesOnly, yes the escalation is worrying me somewhat.
I'd suspected he was trying to manipulate me with the suicide threats but because I genuinely loved him, I didn't want to risk him harming himself. I just felt trapped.
My friends and family are a wonderful support and I am very lucky to have them. They've managed to keep me on track and
stop me feeling crazy.

Bodabing - I'm really pleased to read you are okay and are in a happy relationship now. I will definitely call the numbers, thank you.
Thanks, I feel I'm going to need the luck!

Why can't you tell him to leave now? Is his name on the lease/mortgage?

Hi OP,

When I was growing up it was a sort of joke we played on each other. It didn't require physical strength. It was the ability to find that place on the leg instantly, and with a gentle, non-painful push, the person's leg caved. A bit like causing the leg to kick out when karate chopping the kneecap to test reflexes. Multiple success was lusted after by us kids.

Your OH sounds awful. Agree with all other PP^^.
