ShatteredR Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I am looking for some support. I don't have any family and I am feeling weak. He got his own place yesterday but refused to give my car keys and my house keys back. He is jealous and possessive. I finally lost it as I struggled to hold on to my purse that he tried to pry from my fingers, I threw something at him and in turn, he belted me across the room. I know I should leave. I know it's toxic. I feel like I need some support to stay strong so I in fact stick with what is right and stay away from him. He is from another country and is refusing to leave. I not only feel bad about the way that he treats me but also about the way that I treat him. My girlfriend was worried that he would explode because he is losing control over me, she sees his possessive and controlling ways. Boy was she right. I faught with him the entire night, trying to retrieve my things and finally, I exploded. Hopefully I can find some strength on this site because I don't know where else to turn. Sofie
spiderowl Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Please check out the Abuse section and see the resources there for women who are at risk. This guy sounds dangerous. He is clinging to what he wants and when he realised you were serious about him going, he started to get physically aggressive. I think your friend is right and it could get worse. Is he out of the house now? Are you able to call the police and get the locks changed? Women are not treated well under the law in some cultures. I don't know what this guy's background is, but he may think he's free to be aggressive towards you. This is why you need support and guidance to protect yourself. Please contact women's shelters and they will be able to give you advice and point you in the direction of other resources too.
