BrittanyT Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 You all were so helpful with my last post about my fiances son. I have spent time with him and things are going much better. Now I am worried about some things my fiance is doing. I have been very moody/tense lately with school and work and kids and all. And I admit I take it out on him sometimes by picking fights where there is none. But we make up pretty quick. During the last one he actually got angry, didnt "yell" but slapped me on the leg and told me to stop being stupid and talk about things. It was a pretty hard smack. The last time he did this he was drinking and it left a mark. I blew that one off cause he has never been violent and I figured it was just the alcohol. But this time there was no drinking, he was just mad. Am I in for years of worse abuse if I dont get out? Like I said he has never done anything like this. He usually just tells me I'm being stupid and its all my fault. I was going to go out the other night with my friends (its was ones bday) and he said I had to be back by 9pm or he'd come looking for me. Cause he dont trust my friends. This is just all so strange to me.
matte123 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I think you might be in for years of worse abuse if you stay. It seems to be leading down that road. He's hits you, is controlling, and there's some verbal abuse. :/
Author BrittanyT Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 yea I was on the fence on whether saying I'm being stupid is "abuse" or not.
matte123 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 yea I was on the fence on whether saying I'm being stupid is "abuse" or not. I think it depends on how it's said and how often it's said? I might be wrong. In your case, it seems to be verbal abuse. It happens frequently that over time it may have some really negative effects on your self esteem. :/
wow04 Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Name calling is a form of verbal abuse. He has hit you twice. This is only going to down hill.
