Arguments leading to squeezing my arms

Hi
Me and my boyfriend got into a heated argument lastnight. During the argument i was sat away from him and we were both raising voices, following this he grabbed me towards him in a of restraint position and started squeezing my arms tightly not letting me go even though i wasent attempting to go anywhere.

I managed to push him off and he has since apologised for his behaviour. I am upset and confused as this is the second time this has happened. I dont know if i am being dramatic for feeling upset as he has said sorry.

Would appreciate the advise

Don't let him move in with you, ever

Arm nipping is abuse, and quite commonly is the first stage. This could get worse, so what are your plans?

In a heated argument I tried to stop my husband from leaving , and he grabbed my wrists and squeezed them tight and it really hurt , I know I shouldn't try stop him from leaving, but he didn't even say sorry for hurting my wrists ge said I was trying to stop him 😢 am I over reacting ? I'm upset at this .

It's worrying that things have got physical in this way, @relaxingrainbow 💐

You might be better off starting your own thread for more answers/support as people tend to just reply to the original poster on older threads and won't necessarily see your posts.
