37 weeks and my boyfriend just said

[brexitisamare]

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 😞

Hope everything went well today OP x

De lurking to say well done OP hope all went well today and I'm so glad you've got the support of your mum and dad. Keep strong

sending good delivery vibes your way Brexit but hoping you no longer need them and that you are currently snuggling your beautiful newborn.

You are strong, and wise. You've got this. Your baby picked a lovely mum.

If I set up a crowd fund. Would any MNs contribute?

Oops wrong thread

I know you said wrong thread Weejo39 but would be happy to donate to help OP get on her feet financially if someone sets one up

Here we go.

Hello everyone

We've had a number of reports from people concerned about this thread so, as we usually do in these circs, we're putting our heads round the door with some important reminders.

Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask everyone to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope you get it all sorted soon.

Is crowdfunding a good idea on any thread? We can't possibly know.

I thought crowdfunding was banned on MN after the randy widower and the competing crowdfunders for his poor wife.

Hope you have your baby girl now brexit.

Induction can take a loooong time. I was induced for my first.

Brexit I hope you're both doing well, and they've given you some decent pain relief.

So glad you've got the support of your family.

Sending lots of love, glad to hear you are getting taken care of and your mum is there. Hope you meet your baby girl soon.

I hope you are OK OP.
from me

good luck

Good luck OP hoping everything goes well for you 💐

Been following from the beginning. Hope you and baby are doing ok. Praying for you over the next few days 💛

Hope you and baby are ok OP.

Even if you don't want to come back and post I hope you are the supportive messages. You've done so well.

When I was induced it took a day! It's possible the OP could still be in labour right now, or with her very new baby.

It took me a day to text my closest friends, even. I kept trying and spacing out with the phone in my hand, I was shattered from the labour and all I really wanted to do was feed my my beautiful new baby and gaze at him.

Thinking of you OP.

Has anyone heard from the OP?

Ring the police. That’s should sort him out. Then maybe go and stay at a motel for the night. It’s not safe for you there

ihatehashtags hmm.. I dont have a problem with hashtags but i do hate when people dont RTFT

You have done nothing wrong and you shouldn't be making excuses for him - there are no excuses for what he did and said and you need to stop blaming yourself.

Please do not confront him, this is not wise advice. If you feel immediately afraid call the police. Otherwise call Women's Aid when you are alone and get them to walk you through what steps to take. Don't be afraid about your lease and accommodation as safety and your and your baby's welfare comes first. There will be people who know how to help you with this.

Do not stay in this abusive relationship. Be strong for yourself and your baby. Better to deal with it now than after baby is born. I would be finding somewhere to go while he is at work, maybe with the help of a women's org or charity, and go while he is not there. Legal stuff can be worked out later. This is absolutely not on.

Just to add, your midwife would be able to help you get support or get in touch with appropriate people if that's an option for you. Big hugs.
