Hi,
I'd appreciate some opinions.
I may end up dripfeeding but I'm not sure how much of the background is relevant.
Myself and do were arguing, worst row in long time. He was dropping me off to hospital. It has been a very stressful time for us both. He threatened to not drive me home, then said he would if I just agreed to not speak.
I waited for him to collect me and had utterly no intention of speaking to him - I was so mad and disgusted with him. I sat in the car and received a message from my friend to say she would be over to take me out at a certain time. I'm going through another cancer scare (it's been a few years) and she has been through similar so wanted to talk to her. I turned around to tell him I'd be out for an hour and he didn't react. Then I realised he had earphones in so I messaged him.
We got out of the car and he was still wearing earphones. I yanked one out, he flinched. I quickly said I was going out for an hour. He made a sarcastic remark about where I was going and being a negligent mother and put his earphone back in. We carried stuff into house, I tried to say where I was going, he smirked and shrugged.i pulled out earphone again and said who I was meeting.
His earphone broke. His face clouded over, he shoved me really hard in the face, grabbed my glasses and stamped on them. Then he stood shuddering and I waited to see if he'd hit me.
I need some outside views if this was retaliation to me pulling his earphones when I was trying to talk to him or if he is a violent man. I was with a violent man before and what always sticks out in my mind is that it was the first time when he nearly hit me which was frightening. After that I normalised the whole lot.
Some opinions please. I can't see without my glasses.
He came upstairs and said sorry but then immediately started justifying saying I'd antagonised him
