37 weeks and my boyfriend just said

He will "smash my face in".

He's playing a game online downstairs, fine. But he was screaming at it and it woke me up so I text him asking him to please keep it down.

He text me back telling me to "fuck off".

So I turned the WiFi off (it's in our bedroom). Quite childish of me now I look back but I was absolutely furious at being woken up and told to fuck off when I hadn't actually done anything wrong.

He came banging up the stairs, punched the bedroom door and said "if you ever do that again I will smash this whole house up and I'll smash your face in".

And he turned it back on, slammed the door, said something about wishing we weren't having our baby and now he's back downstairs playing whatever he's playing and I'm sat in bed shaking.

I realise my behaviour here was a bit childish but surely nothing warrants that? I don't think he will come back up or do anything providing I don't touch the internet (I'm not going to move now at all).

He's quite a calm person and I guess I've seen him angry before but nothing like this and he's never threatened me before. I cannot believe that's just happened. I don't even know why I'm posting I just don't know what to do now I'm sat here shaking and trying to calm myself down as I am heavily pregnant with this horrible mans child.

I can't leave because I don't have anywhere to go at this hour and to be honest the thought of having to go downstairs right now petrifies me.

I guess I just need a handhold here 😞

Relieved ypu've gone to hospital, please tell your mum and sister you need to get away once your health is addressed - they WILL help you. Flowers

BraayTigger · 25/03/2019 01:20

Oh op good luck x I can't help but feel your partner has caused this early visit to hospital by inflicting on you so much stress.

Please tell the midwife /nurse/consultant what is going on at home. They will be able to start putting you in touch with people who will help you through this. Do not go home voluntarily, stress how in danger you are.

Am thinking of you x x

HazelBite · 25/03/2019 01:22

Sorelieved you have gone to hospital, I saw "stars" when heavily pregnant and when my BP was taken it was through the roof, they didn't mess around it was an emergency C Section!
Hope all goes well OP Flowers

Daisypie · 25/03/2019 01:35

Well done on going in.you will be safe there.

Topseyt · 25/03/2019 01:52

Just caught up here again. I see that you are on your way to hospital (probably there now).

You are doing the right thing here. You and the baby are priority.

Please use this as your means to get away from your arsehole of a partner. It might even be a long time before he even noticed you have left as he is so absorbed in his terribly "important" games. The twat.

Good luck to you. Make sure you speak to your family while you are in hospital and tell them what has really been going on. You need their help now.

Topseyt · 25/03/2019 01:56

Make sure too that you are not sent home from hospital, and not just because of your worrying symptoms.

Tell them you are unsafe at home due to domestic abuse and threats of physical violence against you. It is true. Don't downplay that angle.

K0612 · 25/03/2019 03:10

Sending love let us know how you are. 💖

Coyoacan · 25/03/2019 03:13

Hope all is well, OP. Yes tell the midwife so that they can keep him away from you, should he ever become sufficiently unstuck from his game to go looking.

YesimstillwatchingNetflix · 25/03/2019 03:19

Call the police @brexitisamare

He threatened to assault you. Call the police immediately and report it.

GrandTheftWalrus · 25/03/2019 03:33

Just read this thread. I hope you are okay OP. And I dont think you should go home after this. Or at least report him so he has to leave and you get all your baby things.

hayf · 25/03/2019 03:37

OP very fest of luck to you, you're doing the right thing. The stress of the last couple if days can't be helping, let the hospital look after you. Did he see you go?

BringMeAGinandTonic · 25/03/2019 03:58

I am caught up and I am hoping you are alright. Is it possible your partner is doing meth? Some of the things I read in the last 20 pages had me wondering. Even if it is not meth, it very well could be another drug he is using. Why is he even talking to these druggie people exactly? Does he know them from way back or something?

Please get away from that abusive man. Please tell your parents, as this is serious. Tell whoever you can trust so they can help you in this difficult time.

I hope whatever you were dealing with medically is nothing serious.

Hugs and Flowers

LittlePaintBox · 25/03/2019 03:59

Hope all is well, OP, I've been so concerned about you I've just popped downstairs to check if there's any news. Hopefully you're being looked after, and will feel safer in hospital.

Desmondo2016 · 25/03/2019 04:08

OP thinking of you. I hope medically all is well with you and baby, and I hope you're sleeping safely right now

LavenderFairyrunswild · 25/03/2019 04:25

I hope you are being taken care of in hospital now and have let your family know that you are there. Please update us to let us know you are ok, you don't need to talk about anything else unless you want to, but please let is know you are ok.

OMG just seen the updates. Wishing you and baby well OP Thanks.

fluffY10345 · 25/03/2019 05:16

Please get yourself away from this man.. my cousin was with a horrible man who at first would just name call and put her down around his friends I guess he thought it made him look like the big man and whilst she was pregnant he was never physically aggressive but the mental abuse got worse, 4 weeks after giving birth this horrible man took my cousin life, I just wish she had listened when friends family told her to leave but she was madly in love she believed no one would love her like he did. So please please please keep yourself and your LO safe I wish you luck for the future 💐

Aria999 · 25/03/2019 05:17

OP you sound lovely. I hope you're ok. Read all your posts and am watching and wishing you well. It's good you found out now what he's capable of rather than years later when it might be harder to leave. Be strong, it's not your fault and you sound very sensible. Xx
