So every time my partner and I argue and if he gets to angry he will jump forward to like go hit me but he doesn’t hit me if that makes Sense. And he knows full dam well that it makes me jump. I question him about it afterwards and he says he will never hit me and he never as. What would you guys do in this situation

Hmm I would leave

Missingpotatocroquettes · 13/09/2024 18:11

I'd dump him

Arlanymor · 13/09/2024 18:12

Why does he do that? It’s horrible. I would chuck him.

Devilsmommy · 13/09/2024 18:12

Tell him to fuck off and take his intimidation tactics elsewhere

poppyzbrite4 · 13/09/2024 18:12

He's obviously trying to get you to shut up by intimidating you.

Treetertop · 13/09/2024 18:13

Leave, its a form of assault, to make someone scared you are going to strike them, he is abusing you.

TheSnugDeer · 13/09/2024 18:14

Then afterwards being questioned he will legit just go round the house cleaning and not talking to me unless I talk. He always goes in cleaning mode

This is abusive. He is using his greater physical strength to intimidate you. It doesn't matter if he doesn't physically touch you, what he is doing is classed as physical abuse. If you can and feel safe, I would walk away. Do you have children? How long have you been together? You can call or message womens aid and they can offer advice. Xx

DecafDodger · 13/09/2024 18:15

one of those times he will shove you. Accidentally of course, he would never!! But then it 'happens' again..and again.
Are you even compatible, if you have such frequent angry arguments?

teatoast8 · 13/09/2024 18:15

Leave

TomatoSandwiches · 13/09/2024 18:17

You need to leave this man, he is abusive.

TwistedWonder · 13/09/2024 18:21

Why do you need to ask? Hes an abuse prick and you need to leave yesterday if not sooner.

One day soon he’ll hit you for real

TheSnugDeer · 13/09/2024 18:21

Yes I do have children, and he says he will take my youngest with him if we ever split. And now I feel I can’t bond with him because what his said. That sounds horrible I know but that’s how I feel towards my 17month old

You find a way to leave without alerting him to the fact, so that he cannot withold your child at that moment - that is designed to keep you in place.
You immediately see a solicitor and put things in action so that he can see your child, but not make threats to keep your child from you.
No man should want to frighten you by pretending to hit you. He has every intention of building up to hitting you, he just hasn't worked out how to get away with it, yet.
What are your living arrangements, do you have real life support, and do you have somewhere to go?

This is so dysfunctional, that poor child. Being raised by two dysfunctional parents. You need to split. Protect your kids. This ain’t ok, they are not collateral damage,

He won't and he can't it's just another thing to say to keep you in line.
Contact women's aid and leave him... quietly.

Sparklywhiteteeth · 13/09/2024 18:57

And it doesn’t just sound horrible op, it is horrible.

TheNuthatch · 13/09/2024 21:40

You need to leave op, this is an abusive relationship. He's using your toddler to keep you in your place, but your toddler needs their mum. If I were in your shoes, I'd start planning to leave without your partner knowing.

You should contact Women's Aid and let them help you and your children get away safely. Please phone them as soon as you can, without him hearing.
