My boyfriend of 8 months hit me and left me on the side of the highway

I forgot my rule about not getting into a car with him behind the wheel as he is prone to driving erratically and dangerously and I needed to get to the bank. He's driving stupidly in our residential area and almost pulls out in front of a car on my side. When we get on the highway my survival instinct kicks in around the 110 mph mark and I couldn't help but scream and plead for him to slow down considering he's in the far right lane with several cars around-- which he did, eventually, to take several open and close fisted pops to my face while still driving. I'm crying and telling him to let me out of the car, which he does after striking me again across the face with his entire forearm. He's 6'5. When I get out of the car and tell him I'm finished he throws a drink at me and speeds off.

When I eventually get home he's packed most of his things into his car. No apology whatsoever, just deliberate taunting --"Yeah it happened, stop being a little bitch about it." He's threatened to hit me before but never actually proceeded. We both have mental health issues and are prone to explosive bouts-- but I naively assumed there was a line.

I just started a new job that I hate and will probably not be going in to today because I feel like I'm in a total state still. Tragically, this has been my most successful relationship to date. Now he is ludicrously demanding some trivial items he left behind which I don't feel particularly obligated to mail to him considering the circumstances. When I say trivial I mean a stuffed toy and a couple shirts. Has anyone been in this situation before? What do I do now?

Go to work. We'll talk about it later. You need that job.

Throw his shit away, and go to work in the morning. Block his number, and then delete all his contact info from your stuff.

Never contact him again. He's going to kill himself and anyone nearby, one of these days.

уσυ тєα¢н ρєσρℓє нσω тσ тяєαт уσυ - unfortunately the only thing I would do in this situation would be to delete this unhinged freak from my life. Not only did his actions cross the line but his complete lack of remorse is a bad sign for the future. I’m sorry you deal with mental/mood issues but it’s a long life so do yourself a favor and cut him out. As far as his stuffy and shirts go, I would donate them to the nearest waste basket

R11 Serious question; does one of these incidents make him an 'abusive boyfriend?' He had one solitary freak out that got physical, but repeatedly has disregarded my comfort and safety when he drives. Can it be forgiven? Not that he's apologized.

OP, don’t go into work battered, with visible bruising, lacerations, etc. NOT a good look, or idea.

Go to a doctor, and get a doctor to place you on immediate, temporary time off. Ask for tips on healing ASAP, so that you can return to work.

If this is real, you need therapy, because asking us what to do makes zero sense. Box at a gym, not in a car, with your face as a punching bag.

ZERO tolerance for abuse, OP. That’s a golden rule for all adults who have two brain cells, a cell phone, and their own cash or credit card.

Don't be a fucking pussy. You're scared of driving with him, he threatens to pop you, and at some point he will kill you.

Grow some lady balls, go to work and be grateful to be alive in this world without him,

[quote]does one of these incidents make him an 'abusive boyfriend?'

Of this magnitude? Yes.

Ignore the people saying you "taught" him to treat you this way. Let him go, keep your job, don't take him back. Change your locks and consult a lawyer if you can, at least consider getting a restraining order. Find a forum online and post your story, there are plenty of women out there with tons of advice to give on the subject.

You should beg his forgiveness, OP. What’s a little tiff? So he was joyriding, so what. He’s a man & that’s what men do to get a little pleasure out of life. Think of it as a stress reliever. So here he is trying to relieve some stress and you start screaming like a crazed looney? Of course that’s going to startle him. It’s going to make him even more stressed out. It’s going to sound threatening to him, like an animal squeaking.

Wear something sexy and prepare his favorite dinner for him and hand him a nice martini with a big, juicy olive when he comes home. Wear some concealer so you don’t look like a big old mess.. Tell him you’re sorry and you want to make it right for him.

Whatever you do, don’t think of coming back here to live. I’ve got enough problems with your brother & sister complaining about my new boyfriend's smoking habit. They’d better stop hassling him or he’s going to get mad at them and that’s the last thing I need.

by Anonymousreply 41December 5, 2019 6:48 PM

I'm thinking of mailing him the stuffed animal back with aggressive driving class info/anger management resources. If you can think of anything more catty to send him I'm open to suggestions.

Going to work now.

Oh and Muriel, please delete this thread.

Thanks for the solid advice and entertainment

"He had one solitary freak out that got physical, but repeatedly has disregarded my comfort and safety when he drives. Can it be forgiven?"

No. What you describe was dangerous, illegal, and is absolutely unforgiveable.

Throw his shit away and have NO further contact with him. None. Change your locks, block his phone numbers, don't send him stupid catty gifts. Just get him out of your life and keep him out.

This is the same damn queen that comes on here every week with a new story of being beaten by his “man”. Half of you dumb asses actually fall for this and give some sappy directive the other half recognizes this butthole breath for the rough sex fantasy loving EST writer he is.

OP there are plenty of nice gay men out there who are into really rough sex and will beat the absolute shit out you. You don’t have to come here for the fantasy of everybody feeling sorry for you. You can have it for real!! Think how great it will be to sit in your living room with a cast on your broken arm and big sunglasses to hide your black eye while your friends just sit there and shake their heads in pity. Then your man comes home from work and you jump up so happy so to see him!! Kissing him as he forces you to give him a hand job with your broken arm in front of your friends.

Isn’t that better than an EST on DL?

Abusive relationships always get worse, never better. Google "Cycle of Abuse". I stayed in one and ended up needing group therapy to finally let go. The sex was the best I've had in my life so imagine how hard it was to give it up. But I did. Good luck OP.
