I have done something so stupid. In a mess and don’t know what to do.

Please don’t flame me. I know I’ve been an idiot. A few months ago I dumped someone who wasn’t treating me very well, he was critical and showed signs of being controlling so I ended it. Cut a very long story short the police ended up getting involved as he wouldn’t leave me alone afterwards. The police told me they couldn’t tell me what exactly but after looking at this blokes record they said they had reason to be concerned for my safety and issued a harassment warning to him.

I won’t go into details but 3 months ago I ended up getting back with him. I am such a fool. My friends are so so angry with me and one of them said she is scared he will physically hurt me. When we got back together he promised me the world and was absolutely lovely to start with but now I’m back in the same old situation. One minute he is telling me Im the most amazing woman in the world and he wants to be with me forever and the next he’s critical and accusing me of cheating. He lies a lot too.

I need to end it but I am so scared. He has done a real number on me mentally as he keeps telling me I treat him terribly and he puts up with a lot from me. Please don’t judge me, I can’t believe how stupid I have been to go back to him but I do need to get out of this.

Well, that is amazing. So glad you found someone you could trust again. Must have been incredibly difficult going to court as well, what an incredibly brave thing to do Star

For the police to take the step of warning you against this man he must have done some serious shit. So be careful. Going to stay with family is a good plan, as long as they're supportive.

Well done for deciding to break away again. And in future, when you meet a potential partner, take a PP's advice: don't listen to what a man says. Judge him on what he does.

My DH never treated me with anything but love. He wasn't perfect. But he was never unkind. His behaviour taught me everything i needed to know about him.

@HeyPesto55 Thank you. It was hard, the court stuff was very gruelling but I didn’t want him to walk away Scott free from what he did to me and do it to someone else. But I feel happy and safe and I’m so glad I did it. I don’t feel brave, I still have nightmares about it and wake up screaming but I have the love and support of my dh and my family and friends which makes it a lot easier x
