Should I allow my husband to come home?

My husband and I have been together for almost 11 years. In that time he has gotten addicted to meth, been verbally physically and emotionally abusive. The first year of our marriage he got caught trying to get a female to go out with him. He comes back from that job with my name on his neck as proof of love and that he only wanted me. In one of his drugged out rages he gave me two black eyes and a concussion. He recently got back on drugs after years clean. He started with the mental games and abuse all over again and it was always my fault. Through it all I've loved him. This past weekend he got caught yet again trying to hook up with a female. He actually had the nerve to compare it to my ex walking into my place of work and me having to wait on him as a customer.Then said he did it to teach me a lesson. I made him leave and he tells me if I love him I will let him come home so we can work it out. I told him I wasn't saying never but I needed time to heal. He told me that if not then he was done completely and would never be back. He says we have been together too long for me to just throw it away just like that. Am I wrong?

I'm not gonna lie I've been on edge ever since I disconnected his phone. He's very unpredictable and I just removed his only way of communicating with me. He's shown out at my work in the past so it doesn't really matter where I am. There's always that possibility of him showing up. Last night at work was hard because I felt like I was constantly looking around every time a customer walked in and when it was time to get off I wanted to go home but was scared he might be around. I've never made it to where he couldn't contact me and the unknown right now has me very anxious.

@Huggy2014
get yourself some self defence spray OP… to protect yourself if needed… hopefully you won’t need to use it but it may make you feel a little less anxious
You are doing the right thing though by cutting yourself off

NO NO NO and NO .....you look after you and keep him as far away as possible. Take the last 11 years as a learning curve ..you've now learnt nothing will change. Breathe and make plans for the rest of your life without him in it. Hugs

Did you manage to keep this monster away from you @Huggy2014?

So he’s a violent drug-taking abusive cheat. You would be foolish NOT to throw that away. He is no catch.

Take this time as the opportunity to bin him for the rest of your life for good.

Fuck him, ignore, ignore, ignore/report if needed.
He's a hot mess and think how close he is to drug induced illness that you could be stuck nursing and paying for. Do not let him ruin any more of your life
