My husband just attacked me

426 replies

I’m 7 weeks pregnant and my husband just attacked me in an argument and kicked me in the stomach. Our entire relantionship has just ended. I will never look at him or be near him again. Ten years. 4 rounds of IVF. He’s always had an ugly side but never raised his hand on me until now. Apparently I was shouting and I’m not allowed to in his mind and that gave him the right to physically attack me.

Be prepared. Keep cool. Step by step and above all stay safe. Each hour you can get through takes you nearer to your goal.

OP, please be careful with your phone, remove the facial recognition & change your password.
Also Change your email & Mumsnet password !
If he is suspicious he will rip the phone from your hands....

My ex saw me use my passcode and he memorized it

He broke into all my devices

While I was in labour he came across. A list of all the beating I kept

Be careful. Especially with I pads linked to your phone too

These Fckers are tech savvy sometimes

I hope youre ok op and have managed to get away

ThreeLocusts · 04/09/2025 22:40

I hear you OP. Keep breathing. Find a way to tell your mum. Thinking of you.

Ihavenoclu · 05/09/2025 07:33

Praying for you OP

Do not try to leave at the same time as your mother to get on a flight. Even if you enter departure area, he can make false claims against you of theft and get you arrested. Then later say it was a misunderstanding.

You have to DEFLECT
Get your mum to extend her stay for another two weeks. Let him know. Go shopping for new pillows and bedding to deflect.

Meanwhile, book two tickets to leave soon well before the anticipated date. If your mum can't take the news well, then just pretend that she's not well, and go to the room to sleep.

If you book a spa, he might call up to check where you are. Just leave everything else behind. Just take your handbags and pretend to go shopping.

Wear headscarves...change clothes in the ladies room.. and get in a taxi to the airport or if possible , drive to a friend's house and let them drive you to the airport.

All the other stuff is just stuff...replaceable...

Sounds like you’re doing the right thing. Have you told your mum? Can she keep the front on?

LivingWithANob · 06/09/2025 16:45

Hey op, thinking of you. I hope you are safe and hopefully away from him now 🤞

HelloHattie · 06/09/2025 17:06

I hope you can escape him. Have you told your mum yet?

DBSFstupid · 06/09/2025 17:09

Thinking about you OP. I hope that you are ok💐

Flamingoknees · 07/09/2025 16:34

Hope you are safe OP- the longer you put off leaving, the more likely you are to start minimising the danger you and baby are in. Please take action.

Op hoe are you????

Op hoe are you????

Please don't try to prompt OP to respond.

She can only come on here when it's safe to do so, and putting pressure on her to update us is dangerous. When she can, she will. Don't post anything that might tempt/guilt her to take a risk. If he finds this thread she's in danger.

Yesterdaytodaytomorrowagain · 13/09/2025 15:38

Does anyone know if OP started a new thread to tell us how she was? Wondering if I missed something as I’ve been thinking about her.

hellohellooo · 13/09/2025 20:51

Not heard anything

Praying all goes ok 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

HotTiredDog · 14/09/2025 14:01

Hugs & strength from here OP x

Omgblueskys · 16/09/2025 21:12

Oh op, hope your well and safe, do hope you have a plan,

Often think about you

SophiePie · 23/09/2025 00:54

Hoping you're in a safe place now, OP, and if not that you will be very soon x

Blodyneighbour · 25/09/2025 20:46

Hope your ok OP. My abusive ex has been away from me for 3 weeks tomorrow. And having zero contact has made me stronger. I have days where I melt down. So confusing.

Omgblueskys · 09/10/2025 18:50

Hi OneSnug, do hope your well and safe,
Is your mum still visiting,

Take care op 💐

Mysticaldeer · 09/10/2025 21:00

I keep thinking about this lady, too.
❤️

I fucking hate him. Being around him makes me sick. This is so fucking hard.

Are you ok? I hope you’ve found a way to get out.

Omgblueskys · 22/11/2025 15:37

I think of this op and worry about her, strange how pp leave these threads,
