Im in need of serious advice.

Me and my boyfriend have just split up after being together for over four years, engaged, home together, a misscarrage and i have a little boy from a previous relationship. My ex has a serious temper and is a chauvenist. While im at university trying to better myself, while trying to raise a child with non of his input he was constantly putting me down, if he asked me to do something it was never quick enough and would end up with me getting a slap, split lip and ive had two broken wrists off this man, he wanted me home all the time to be a full time house wife aswel, all meals made for him (which had to be fresh) and an immaculate home, i really did try my best to juggle everything which left me with no life, just to add im only 24, he would never have to lift a finger, but ive never been good enough, he would say horrible disgusting things to me and believe me now i dont want him anywhere near me. (at the moment) I know some comments are going to highlight me as stupid, its not that i want him back, but its hard to let go. I do love him, and i always want him to be apart of my life but i cant do that with him in it.

i just want you to step back for a while and think, there’s a child involve here - your child. just think of a moment what kind of live would he/she have to endure growing up in an unstable situation?

your child needs a mother and it’s your duty to protect and care for him, and become a role-model for him/her. you don’t want your child to live a life where he/she sees his/her mother getting beat up buy guy and other crap that he/she don’t need to deal with as a child do you?

just think for a moment, i beg of you…

You sound like an amazing woman. Marry me! Just kidding about the marriage thing. It sounds to me that he does not appreciate what he has or is too afraid to say he wants to move on. The real warning sign is that he hits you. No real man EVER hits a woman. You would do best to end it with him. He will need some serious anger management and additional counseling to overcome his issues.

I really do want the best for him, he is the best behaved little boy ever. He has never seen any of these things happen, but it still worries me. Which is why i cant go back there. I tried so hard with all of my ex’s lovely family aswel, but now he says they hate me. Im not gonna lie, i hate the thought of that!! Dont worry my little man wont be going anywhere near him again. Im more scared for myself, my ex came round tonight so we could discuss what furniture he wants and what furniture im taking to the new house, i offered him it all and he threatens to smash cups in my face. But then he’s sorry and all is forgiven. Evil man!!

paycheck i deffinately agree with you, were going to get married lol. Seriously though i tried to get him to go to anger managment, he wont go. Im moving house so i wont be staying with him anymore it is over, but its hard, ive lived my life for him and my little boy for the past four years. I still will be trying hard to get everything done regardless of if he’s there or not, im trying to let him not bring me down, but its hard.

Stay focused and believe in what you are doing is best for you and your son. You are way too young to be strapped with his burden and it sounds like he could care less. The abusive behavior followed by apologies and promises of better future behavior are classic textbook chronic abuser behaviors. Best wishes and a big cyber hug!

Is he paying all the bills? Why are you staying with him if not for money?

He has a full time well pay’d job, however i do have plenty of my own income and pay for the majority of the bills, and rent. He has baugh the majority of the household items, he’s moved back with his mam and dad and when i move next week he’s threatening to take all of the furniture away. But i kept a roof over his head. Very frustrating situation. Im not going to be staying with him, im finding it very difficult to let him go though.

You will be glad you let him go. It is hard at first, just like quitting a crappy job, but soon enough you realize you made the right decision.

I do wish under certain circumstances homicide was not only legal but necessary.
