Is a drink in the face abuse?

Been together 2 years and I am just going through the process of selling my home of 10 years.
In honesty I can't afford to keep it the mortgage has tripled the last 12 months.

I am literally putting the last 10 years of my life in a skip....its difficult. I came home tonight day 2 of bining my life and he has eye pain...its all about his eye pain .

I said I wasn't going there as I have enough to deal with this week putting my life in a skip and he through his full cold drink on me!
I just sat there and didn't say a word.

Sorry for the typos I am dyslexic and rely on my phone to type the words.
I know this is wrong but I am stuck.

Sorry thank you.

He threw a cold drink on you?
That really is not acceptable.

Thank you for the reply I posted wrong place should have posted in chat. I will ask MNHQ to move.

I’d consider that assault and yes, must definitely, abuse.

And to add: this is horrendous, please don't stay with this monster. Can't you work something out regarding your house, have you talked to a mortgage adviser?

Ohheckethump · 28/06/2023 01:35

Thank you Grumpy but I am stuck in a messy divorce on top of everything else. It's very complicated.
The house is up for sale at the end of the week so in a few weeks I will have the money to rent. I just needed to check I wasn't over reacting.

You are not overreacting, he's a cunt.

Flatandhappy · 28/06/2023 01:38

Well it’s assault for starters. What you choose to do about that is up to you but you are certainly not overreacting.

Ohheckethump · 28/06/2023 01:43

See I know I am not but I am questioning myself.
Mumsnet always say when they show you who they are pay attention!
I am stuck here or homeless.
My girls are starting college in 2 months they need stability they need a home.

Not remotely ok.

Hope the Relationships posters can give you better practical advice.

BodgerLovesMashedPotato · 28/06/2023 02:58

Having a drink thrown at you is assault.
I don't have any practical advice but didn't want to read and run, hope you're ok x

junebirthdaygirl · 28/06/2023 03:58

Please try and hold onto your home as you don't want to be dependent on this abusive man. Now9 your dds are off to college could you rent a room to help pay mortgage?

Helleofabore · 28/06/2023 06:18

You are definitely not over reacting OP. That is a childish reaction meant to humiliate you for not centring them and not providing what the want from you. Because you are in a highly stressful situation and need to focus on yourself (obviously unless he has a situation requiring urgent attention especially from you).

Good luck OP.
