My bf believes his pants are another mans

Staytrue05 · 22/08/2022 01:24

I’ve posted a few times and yes I’ve been told my relationship isn’t the best

my partner has started getting more paranoid and has become physically abusive to me the last month

i don’t know why but I can’t walk away

he was sniffing for 2 days solid and I got fed up of it and went out for the day with my friend
when I came home I picked up a pair of his pants and shorts what he left on the floor in the bathroom and chucked them into the wash pile

he somehow got it into his head and swears blind I threw a pair of pants behind the washing machine and came out the bathroom with a pair of pants saying there not his

i was like I dunno cos maybe there your dads or your sis bf
but no he went mental on me and chucked me out the house n took my keys

i went back like a idiot that night around 12 he was super high and I asked to take some clothes at least
i saw he put the pants he found on top my clothes and I put them on the side in the living room n said oh is these them and I took a photo of them and left

that morning he text me he’s still sniffing and he’s gonna end his life
he was saying your never forget this day I’m gonna do something to haunt u forever
and all these abusive textes

he went quiet for a hour
i started crying and panicking
he than text me loads of letters what made no sense
i knew immediately he’s overdosed and he said help n I drove like a lunatic to the house from my friends who I stayed at cos he chucked me out

i found the door open and ran in to find him on the bed
i rang the ambulance
he wasn’t in a good state
it was awful
i wanted to die myself at that moment

he went to hospital and what I found really strange is when the paramedics arrived he walked out with them
which was odd cos before they come n I was sat next to him crying begging him to hold on
he wasn’t even moving or answering me

we spent the whole day at hospital fighting
he kept saying I cheated on him and all this stuff about the pants

anyway that night I went back to our home cos I had the keys he gave me them back and I grabbed the pants he found what I left on the side in the living room and went in his pant draw n pulled all his pants out filming it to see if I find anymore the same with the lable
and of course I find another pair in white
and grey and navy blue
i put them all next to each other they was obviously a pack of 2 each or 4
and I went in the bathroom and saw the pants I chucked with the shorts were not there anymore cos it was the pants he picked up n said we’re not his

i don’t no how he got it into his head he got them from under the washing machine
but he was on drugs for 2 days solid

I took all the pants to the hospital today and I handed him the pants what he said wasn’t his
i said are they yours
he said yes
i said thank u finally
than he said u just got these out my draw
wheres the ones I found
i was like r u crazy I took a pic of these pants when I came back to yours at 12am
look at the photo with the date n time it’s the same pics I took them in your face
but he’s so deluded he said I switched them
oh yeh right

im not going mental I’m so drained
i don’t know how he can’t see he made a mistake
he really believes I went out n bought a pair of mens pants back in my bag n chucked them behind the washing machine

i swear to god I didnt
and y would I chuck them in our home
if I did do something I would chuck them outside somewhere before I arrived home

im going crazy
im being told I’m a cheat n liar n listening to all this abuse
n he said he don’t no if he wants to be with a cheat anymore
he really believes himself
and I’m innocent and being punished and hurt for something I didn’t do

i even got the textes n photos all day from when I was out
from when I met my friend to pics where I was to when I came home

im really upset
his sis text me and said he’s getting worse it’s the drugs and to walk away
but I cant
i still keep begging him and trying to proof myself

i don’t no what more I can do
i even said I’ll pay for a lie detector test which he said if I did it n pass he would get down on his knees and say sorry
but I’m sure it will be something else next week

he got paranoid before a month ago and beat me up for thinking I wanted a 3 way with some old couple who was with us at a house party
they all contacted him after and said I did nothing wrong I was the whole time with my bf
and no1 even suggested anything and told him your crazy
he admits now to that he’s wrong and sorry

so why can’t he see now he was so high he believed his own pants were not his

im sure people will laugh at this post
its ridiculous
but I love him and I can’t accept not being with him

OP, what will it take for you to walk away?
How bad does it have to get for you and your poor kids before you will do that?

brookstar · 22/08/2022 08:49

You said you'd die for him.

If you stay with him that is a real possibility. He might actually kill you. .

This.
Start putting your kids first and leave him.

Life isn't supposed to be be dramatic.

Randomthoughts992 · 22/08/2022 08:54

You will love someone else just as much, theres always love. You love him now but in the future you could love someone else, someone that doesnt treat you like shit. imagine if you get pregnant from him? Even if taking precautions.. it happens but youd be bringing an innocent child into a life of shit. Leave before it gets worse and breaks you.

Be a strong independent woman, Love means nothing if being treated like shit

SeussABC · 22/08/2022 08:55

He is dangerous to you. I heard a similar story once, involving pant paranoia. That man went on to try to strangle his wife and then to set her on fire. You need to get help OP in order to leave this relationship and to stay safe.

SeussABC · 22/08/2022 08:55

(Oh, and it was with DC in the house as well. They are also in danger.)

Pascaliisafrenchymathysyperson · 22/08/2022 08:57

You sound as addicted to this drama as he is to coke (or whatever drug he's into)

This is not love.

Stop this right now and start but the energy you invest in this waste of space into your children.

Minimalme · 22/08/2022 08:58

If you don't remove your children from this situation, you are also responsible for the abuse they suffer.

If you really can't leave this man, you need to call SS to remove the children. At least do that much for them.

Vallmo47 · 22/08/2022 09:00

You are prioritising this man over the safety and happiness of your children. Put him before yourself all you like (that’s your choice sadly), but to put him above your kids. You will lose them like you have lost yourself already OP. Do you understand that he might actually take that final step and seriously hurt you and your poor, innocent children might be the one who find you? Damaged for life, because of your priorities. This thread is truly shocking.

ThreeLocusts · 22/08/2022 09:03

OP your first post made my head spin, the detailed way you engaged with his utter nonsense, trying to disprove an obviously ridiculous accusation. Please don't waste your life this way.

I was in a relationship once where I thought I just can't be without him, I can't see things except through his eyes. It wasn't true - we split, it was horrible but got better within weeks and boy am I glad that relationship is over.

Get help as people have suggested, narcanon, women's aid, and leave.

I'm tempted to capitalise it. LEAVE. Leave leave leave, please! Please don't do this to yourself any longer. There has to be a way, there will be a way.

diamondpony80 · 22/08/2022 09:03

WTAF have I just read? You need to get help if you still love this guy. Get away from him, seriously. Is this honestly the life you want for yourself?

Agree. But you can't reason with stupid!!!

Prettypennies · 22/08/2022 09:07

Please please leave OP, I promise you will look back with no regrets for leaving. You know you deserve better.

Opaljewel · 22/08/2022 09:12

Sorry op but right now you're abusing yourself now keeping yourself in this situation.

You're beint an idiot and imprisoning yourself. You have the choice here to walk away no one is holding you there.

AmbushedByCake1 · 22/08/2022 09:14

Jesus OP. Please leave this rotten excuse for a man and get some counselling about why you are willing to accept dregs like this. I agree with others who say you are enjoying all the drama. You have kids - it's your responsibility to sort yourself out.

JubileeTissues · 22/08/2022 09:14

Hope someone reports all of this for the sake of those poor children and that they are finally protected.

SpilltheTea · 22/08/2022 09:20

It's disgusting that you're still putting this piece of shit above your children. This isn't love, grow the fuck up.

IncompleteSenten · 22/08/2022 09:46

Cornflakegirll · 22/08/2022 08:44

Totally and utterly agree!

Hoping their father (50:50 contact from previous threads) steps in asap.

Mumsnet can and do make reports, giving op's IP or something if they feel there are people at serious risk. Perhaps they will do that in this case.

MrsMoastyToasty · 22/08/2022 09:50

He doesn't love you. He loves drugs.

MrsLeBouef · 22/08/2022 09:51

Do you use as well?

Fupoffyagrasshole · 22/08/2022 09:52

Honestly block him and move on then he can't guilt trip you anymore

thenewduchessoflapland · 22/08/2022 10:29

You need to wake up immediately and take action;social services come take your children from you if they get wind the children are living with an addict who gets high around them and has drugs in the house.

What would happen if one of your children accidentally swallowed some.

Be a mother;protect your children;why are you putting this loser first?

Dump him and cut contact.

interest12 · 22/08/2022 10:30

You’re a mother in your mid-30s hung up about a 25yo won’t accept that they’re his pants???
Sure, I get that you don’t care about yourself but you have children to think of. Even if “he’s nice” to them, you’re still exposing them to a delusional drug addict.
Suck it up, leave him. You might have your heart broken, but be an adult and take care of your children. If you don’t you’ll likely lose them or end up dead yourself.

interest12 · 22/08/2022 10:31

MrsLeBouef · 22/08/2022 09:51

Do you use as well?

I’d be shocked if she doesn’t.

Naunet · 22/08/2022 10:57

I don’t think there’s any helping you, you won’t leave. He’s never going to believe you about the pants because it suits him not to. He LIKES having you run around distressed trying to prove your worth to him, and it’s entertainment you seem to want to provide. You need to leave and get therapy, but I don’t think you will.

Instead, seeing as you’re dedicated to this dangerous mess, at least get your kids safe. Send them to live with their dad, you are in no position to provide them with what they need and you prioritise the drama you get from this man above your own children.

Staytrue05 · 22/08/2022 11:29

I just want to say somethings
regarding my children they are not coming to the house anymore
i told their dad the situation and he’s having them and I’m take them out alone in the days
so my children are very far away from this situation
man’s I understand that this is not healthy to
I actually put a deposit down on a flat to move into on the 1st sept
and was going to move out with my kids and just see if he would accept maybe we meet a few nights a week like how it was when we first met

and yes I know I’m being selfish towards my kids and I know I can’t stay with this man for ever or I will loose my kids
i get that

but I just find it so hard to break away from him
i am English but I live abroad
my kids and there dad are from the country which I won’t name and I have to stay here cos my ex won’t let me move back to the Uk with our children
i am in a country with no family support
I am entitled to no benefits or support
the basic wage is 5euro an hour
trying to pay a 700 rent apartment which I have to do from the 1st sept
lifes hard here
i got no real friends to talk to about my problems they all live in england

i met a guy last year and soon as I saw him I was like wow that’s the one
and sadly we argue and I bug him cos he’s difficult to get on with
but when he’s ok we are so in love
i can stay kissing him for hours staring into his eyes and sad as it sounds we go into our own bubble and it’s the most nicest feeling I ever felt

i hate the thought of never being able to see him again I’ve grown attached to him and he’s like my own family I got here
abd I hate the thought of someone else being with him
i do love him and can put his bad side behind me

but just to update I didn’t go to collect him today from the hospital and I ain’t paying the debt of
and his brother rang to say there going to look after him and we will be kept apart for the sake of both our life’s to move on

im totally crushed by this
i just packed my stuff and I’m of to find a hotel now to stay in till the 1 st sept when my new home is ready

but how do I get through this
im crying my eyes out
i can’t face never seeing him again
i feel numb and dead
n wish I went and collected him today
I’m already regretting staying away
i feel I need to go into a mental hospital from all this
