I have been with my partner for around a year but have known each other longer. I moved in with him about 3 months ago 'officially' but was always staying at his place before we were together so it seems longer.
He suffers from bipolar so has terrible moodswings but normally keeps himself locked away whilst he's having a bad one. Anyway last night after a big row (in which I was partly responsible) he went nuts and said he wanted me out of his house, I refused to go (as I had nowhere to go) and he said "you have 10 seconds to get out before I physically throw you out" I told him I would leave if I could take the car and he grabbed me and pushed me out of the door and locked it behind me. I was trying to keep in mind that he has an illness but I was not prepared to walk the streets on my own at that time of night so I knocked on the door, he opened it and told me that if I wasn't out of his sight within 5 seconds he would "beat the shit out me".
I ended up calling a taxi and went to my friends house but he later phoned and asked if I really believed he would've hurt me and seemed offended that I believed him!
I'm not sure where to go from here, I don't want to finish with him because he has an illness but at the same time I don't want to put myself and my kids (who did not witness this btw) in danger.
Am I over-reacting?
