I’m scared

Kaznad76 · 19/08/2022 16:26

This morning I found three undisolved tablets in the bottom of my cup of coffee my partner had made me - I’ve asked him about it and he says they’re caffeine tablets as he thought I needed a boost - I have said I need to be careful with caffeine as previously had a mini stroke - I’m also really upset that he would do this without telling me - am I being ridiculous and over reacting ? I am aware his ex accused him of trying to poison her too but he says she was on drugs at the time - I’m thinking he’s not the person I thought and I’m worried . I’d be grateful for any advice x

You are right to be scared of him.

AnneLovesGilbert · 19/08/2022 16:28

Leave him immediately. He sounds unhinged.

GlassDeli · 19/08/2022 16:28

Run for the hills. He is dishonest and my guess is that they could have been 'date rape' drugs. Tell him 'this isn't working for me' and LTB. Spot on, he isn't the person you thought.

This is more than worrying. I think you need to speak to your friends and family about this and hopefully they can speak some sense into you about leaving and offer some support.

Sparklypant · 19/08/2022 16:30

Oh god if this is real end it immediately

Cheminaufaules · 19/08/2022 16:31

What did you have planned for the day and did he know what you had planned? In coffee, they are more likely to be sedatives.
You need to get them analysed. Secretly.

Has he shown any other 'odd' behaviour?

neilyoungismyhero · 19/08/2022 16:31

Kick him out or leave very soon - sounds like heavy stuff to me. He says his previous partner was on drugs which is why she accused him of poisoning her? Maybe not.
I should think it's actually a form of assault to do what he did, attempting to feed you any sort of drug without your knowledge. Trust your intuition.

RosiePosie80 · 19/08/2022 16:36

Assuming this is real, you need to get out. Do it today. I’d also speak to the police. Take the undisolved tablets with you if you can.

JenGin · 19/08/2022 16:38

Have you still got them? Get them analysed. Although, even if they are caffeine tablets he still shouldn't have put them in there without asking but at least you'll know whether he's trying to hurt/kill you or is just an idiot.

honkeytonkwoman38 · 19/08/2022 16:39

That's not normal behaviour! No one should give anyone medication without consent!

minticecreamisjustok · 19/08/2022 16:40

Take it to the police station, he's trying to poison you, don't accept any food or drink from him and preferably Chuck him out

Greengreengrassbluebluesky · 19/08/2022 16:42

He’s lying.

Greengreengrassbluebluesky · 19/08/2022 16:43

But you know that.

lilroo87 · 19/08/2022 16:43

I hope you kept the tablets somewhere. As PP's have said, it's worth taking them to the police.
Strange his ex accused him of trying to poison her, sometimes these things ring true.
My ex told me one of his exes accused him of hitting her and he said she was mental, turns out he was violent

Tee20x · 19/08/2022 16:45

Run

Almondsandraisins · 19/08/2022 16:46

Even if it was caffeine, and even if it was because he thought you were tired - this still isn't normal or right. Trying to give you any kind of tablets without your consent is a violation of your boundaries.

You need to leave him

Aquamarine1029 · 19/08/2022 16:46

Kick him out immediately and call the police.

oviraptor21 · 19/08/2022 16:46

I hope you have somewhere you can go tonight away from him.

Do you live with him? Rented or buying? In his name, your name or both?

VanillaParkersBowl · 19/08/2022 16:47

Never believe another word that comes out of his mouth. Definitely speak to the police and a domestic abuse helpline about getting away from him safely as soon as you can, do not put it off. Now he knows you know about the tablets, it is a very dangerous time for you.

Cas112 · 19/08/2022 16:47

You need to not accept any food/drink from him again and leave him

germsandcoffee · 19/08/2022 16:48

I'd throw him out and phone the police!
And I'm usually laid back but that's totally not normal behaviour.

Fairislefandango · 19/08/2022 16:51

Holy shit - get away from him immediately!

Pollyjun · 19/08/2022 16:51

Woah, get the fuck out of there.

GlueyMooey · 19/08/2022 16:53

Did you ask to see the packet?

FlippertyGibberts · 19/08/2022 16:53

I'd consider reporting this to the police. Can you speak to his ex-partner to try to find out what happened?
