Am I over reacting?

I don’t know what to think anymore. My boyfriend and I got until to a argument last week, we were both lying on the couch and I said some harsh things.
He took his foot and kicked me so hard I flew off it, it wasn’t a soft landing and it was quite a drop. He then shouted at me, and physically threw me out the room. He only stopped once he saw I was hurt.

That's really horrible. Do you have somewhere you can go to tonight?

EvenMoreFuriousVexation · 24/06/2022 16:42

Absolutely unacceptable OP. That's an assault, for which he could be arrested and prosecuted.

What has got you questioning if you're overreacting?

11Hawkins · 24/06/2022 16:42

You need to leave.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/06/2022 16:42

You should have called the police, and he should be your ex.

Littlebirdyouaresosweet · 24/06/2022 16:43

Make him an ex before he makes you a statistic.

Midlifemusings · 24/06/2022 16:43

I am not sure what you have done in response so I don't know if you are overreacting. If you left the relationship and went somewhere safe because you have a violent abusive boyfriend, then you aren't overreacting.

If you killed his dog, destroyed his property, poisoned his food - then you are overreacting.

KangarooKenny · 24/06/2022 16:44

You need to leave before it escalates or you get pregnant

Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas · 24/06/2022 16:46

You’re under reacting. He physically assaulted you. He should be an ex.

mommybear1 · 24/06/2022 16:48

Leave and don't look back.

Watchkeys · 24/06/2022 16:58

Domestic abuse, physical assault, whatever you want to call it, you need to be away from him.

When you ask if you are over reacting... we can't say, because we don't know how you've reacted.

How have you reacted?

Jhasper · 24/06/2022 17:13

I just ran out of our house.

It doesn't matter what you said op, nothing gives him the right to physically assault you.

This 'relationship' needs to end. Before you end up as a statistic.

picklemewalnuts · 24/06/2022 17:33

If someone you loved said harsh things to you, or even a total stranger, would you do that kick them, push them, and throw them out?

Please report to the police. He's dangerous.

RoyKentsChestHair · 24/06/2022 18:11

He’s a nasty shit. If you stay with him you’re telling him that you’re ok with being kicked when he doesn’t like what you say. That opens the door for this - and much worse - to happen in future. Please look after yourself and leave him now. Don’t give him another chance to disrespect and abuse you. You deserve better . We all do Flowers

gingersplodgecat · 24/06/2022 18:24

Sweetheart, you need to report this to the police.

Please talk to people in real life about this, you need their support in getting away from him before he hurts you a lot worse. Because if he's done it once, there will be a next time.

Kione · 24/06/2022 18:30

Is it the first time?

girlmom21 · 24/06/2022 18:42

Please leave him. Even if it is the first time, it won't be the last.

LakeIsle48 · 24/06/2022 18:49

I would definitely get that seen to. The surgery will have seen similar and will know what to do. It looks sore, ouch!! Poor you x

Kione · 24/06/2022 19:32

I didn't ask if it is the first time as a factor not to leave him. She said she ran from the house and if she has done that after the first time, it is really commendable and probably easier to stay away

Jhasper · 25/06/2022 00:04

Thank you everyone for replying, your messages helped me more than you’ll ever know. I have been in a haze since it happened. I was starting to convince myself it was nothing, and it was my fault as that’s what he told me. I’ve now told the closest people around me and I am safe.

Queenie6655 · 25/06/2022 00:14

Poor you

How fcking dare he

How are you now?

Been there myself
Please please report to the police

RoyKentsChestHair · 25/06/2022 17:46

So glad to hear that these replies have helped to solidify what you already know, that this isn’t ok behaviour. And happy to hear that you’ve confided in people close to you and that you’re safe Flowers

Bibonelove · 25/06/2022 20:17

It will get worse believe me, ive been there, please leave him
