Me and my partner have been together for 10 years we have 10month old over he's always been short tempered and he always went from zero to 100 it's got worse over the years and over the last 2 weeks since he's been off work nothings making him happy he's constantly moaning anyways long story short we've had a massive argument as I'm sick off his moaning and he ended up threatening "I'm
Actually gonna knock you out" I do love him but I don't know what to do I'm so angry at him and we never have 2 weeks off together especially with our little one and he's just done nothing but moan that he's bored. So I'm sitting in a Starbucks car park with my little boy and I'm unsure where to go from here I'm also very upset

He’s threatened you physical harm, I’d be ending it.

Do you have any friends or family you can stay with for a couple of nights while you gather yourself and work out what you need to do? It's not reasonable for a man to threaten to knock his partner out, even if you have spent two weeks together, and you are right to feel that he is not safe to be around for you and your baby.

Have you got any support you can call on nearby?

OP, when a man threatens you with violence, believe him.

You and your baby are in danger. Please get away from him.

Stay with your mum lovely, keep you and your baby safe while you plan your future.

Wedontdeservedogs · 03/01/2024 17:24

This man will escalate. You are not safe.

Is this the type of man you want raising a son OP? You know you and your little one deserve much much better. Flowers

Stay with your mum, don't let him get in your ear and persuade you that he didn't mean it/would never do anything to hurt you/ can't live without you/somehow it was your fault.

This is the time to be brutally honest with yourself, his short temper over the past decade sounds like it's worsened, and a 0-100 temper isn't a safe environment for you or your baby. He's escalated by telling you he's going to knock you out, and next he probably will. Don't stick around to find out, this is your exit point.

You can call/online chat Women's Aid for more specific trained advice, do that safely from your mums and let her look after you, be honest with her, don't protect him by covering up what it's been like.

It always gets worse.

Please stay away from him.

If you go back he knows you're accepting his behaviour.

I've been there.

Sending you courage.
