Abusive and looking to leave

Hey guys, been with my partner over a year. Things have got worse over the past 6 months, I’m just looking to air my story as I haven’t spoke to any family or friends as I don’t want no judgement so please don’t judge me… partner has got worse over the past few months with insecurities etc, to the point I know I need to get out and I don’t quite know how even though we don’t live together. (Yes I know it seems silly)… anyway, through the week wen I don’t see him as I work days he works nights, it’s like he wants to make my life hell and I can only put it down to cause I’m not with him, as when a weekend comes it’s all okay as if nothing has been said which frustrates me more. On a weekly basis I am being accused that I am speaking to other people, I started a new job he got in a mood as I was round new people, he got in a mood with me because I had a window cleaner come and he said I don’t really want to be with a women who relies on a man to do things for her, he has used the money he owes me and cause I wouldn’t do something for him as I didn’t have time he said he would f*k me over with the money, he never wants to come to mine I am always going to his, when I question him about it he saids he just doesn’t want too he’s to use to his own place, he’s got in a mood with me cause I didn’t have money to lend him and then he said I needed to ask other people for him as because he has no money he is relying on me, I said to him there isn’t any point relying on me as I have my own bills to pay it’s not my fault you are behind, then he asks me why am I on the pill. Cause that’s a sign of someone just wanting to sleep about, he’s always implying at least once a week he doesn’t trust me and I’m a s*g like most women are, even wen I went to visit my parents grave on their anniversary, he called me to ask me why I hadn’t called and I explained what I was doing and he said I don’t care you are just going to ruin Christmas as now I don’t want to be with you, the list goes on, and then cause he saids sorry after every insult he chucks at me it’s all meant to be okay, and I’ve really come to my wits end with it and I’m just struggling! Please no harsh comments as I’m well aware what I’m in and that I need to get out! Thank you

Have you got a Ring doorbell?
That would help you, so you don't answer the door to him again.

And OP you need to talk to the police about this. Your ex is starting to stalk you. He's getting more dangerous.

No I know what your saying, it like I say it was the last person as he would of done a 12 hour night shift and to do that and then drive an hour I honestly thought it wouldn’t happen as it never ever has before. But yes I will be nipping this in the bud and I’ve made up my mind, I know I’m in a abusive (emotionally) relationship and I’m at that stage where I’m getting all the apologies now and that he will get help but I don’t want it anymore and I know I’ll be doing something about it x

Hi there. I just came across your post. I am so sorry you’ve been going through this. I just wondered if you’re ok now and away from this situation ?

Well done OP. I'm so glad you've got him out of your life, and I hope that you're a lot happier now. In future, just watch out for the red flags, and if there is one, then get rid straight away. We women need to trust our gut more, and stop accepting being treated like crap by men.

Yes I know and trust me I will, apparently I changed though, you know how it is with them, I said I haven’t changed I’m just not tolerating your s**t anymore, and he actually said well I want to be with someone that doesn’t answer me back, and does things I tell them to do, and that’s where I was like you need to get in the real world as that just isn’t going to happen! But thank you 🙏

Well that line, 'I want to be with someone that doesn’t answer me back, and does things I tell them to do', just goes to show what a misogynistic pig he is doesn't it? What a nob!!

SquadGoals75 · 13/07/2026 21:16

Well done OP. Does
he still try to contact you, or did you manage to block him?

FrustratedApples · 14/07/2026 14:59

Well done, OP. Make sure you block him on everything and don't answer your door unless you know it is someone else and not him. Ring the police if he continues to harass you.

Catlover465 · 14/07/2026 15:45

Please take care. Phone women’s aid for advice as he sounds nasty.

Aplcdone · 23/08/2025 20:59

Do you know I’m not 100% sure what I’m scared of, probably the abuse I’m going to get come with it, hurting his feelings even tho mine are hurt most of the time. I feel he will be super nasty when it comes to it and I don’t like it or the thought of it x

Just seen your updates, well done for getting out of it! Great news ☺️
