I’ll make this as short as I can.
Myself an my partner have an ok relationship until he is drunk. Prior to lockdown he would be at the pub all the time and come back and be abusive. Lockdown was like a breath of fresh air to me as I didn’t have to put up with his drunken behavior. Now the pubs have reopened and it’s like going back in time. This weekend he came back after binge drinking most of the weekend and became verbally and physically abusive towards me. Even now he has sobered up he will not apologies for his behavior. He even damaged things in our house.
I think lockdown opened my eyes and I cannot put up with this behavior like I used too.
Unfortunately I am on quite a low income and cannot afford the rent on our house on my own, plus we have another 7 months left on the lease.
I am now thinking I should save as much as I can over the next 7 months and get the hell out of this relationship. I am in my 40s now and do not want another 10 years of this. Has anyone gone through this before and have any advice on planning to leave an abusive partner.
