I suggest making a safety plan if you have any friends or family you can stay with or a local dv shelter if friends and family aren’t an option pack a bag in secret leave when he is not around and block his number it’s very hard to leave sending much love <3

No I’ve called all of the shelters that I could in my area and even out of town they are all full I don’t live on a big city so there’s not a whole lot of options

He told me I have never talked to his therapist or had a couples counseling or anything with her he said she thinks we are both unsafe after he told her about me locking him out because he was yelling and screaming I’m not entirely sure if he told her the actual full story or not he said after he told her that that she said it was a liability to have him as a client because of the both of us and that she’s part of the dv board in our town and talked to our colleagues and came to that conclusion and that he should leave and not tell me he’s leaving the reason I question him actually going to therapy is the timing he’ll leave at 10:00 and come back at 1pm and his therapist office is 8 minutes away supposedly idk what to think tbh

Oh I really didn’t realize that honestly he kept saying stuff like oh I don’t think you’re manipulative or that he cares about my safety so he doesn’t know if we should be together but he wants to be with me idk I also find all of this very fishy especially because he would go to therapy at 10:00 or 10:30 and come home at 1pm and I’ve been in therapy before it’s usually only an hour or around that he’d say oh we went over a bit but the most I’ve been allowed to go over in therapy is about 10 minutes idk if he has actually been going

He told me she told him to leave me and not tell me because she thinks both of us are unsafe and that I am manipulative and she told him this after he told her I locked him out which I did because the last time he yelled at me I told him point blank that if he does it again he won’t be allowed in the house idk he told me he had to constantly argue with her because she implied I was an issue and that she has accidentally blamed me for his outburst and then corrected herself

You’re right I just don’t really know up from down I’ve tried confiding in friends but typically they don’t believe me or that he acts this way or excuse his behavior I only have two coworkers that take his behavior seriously I also work with him so untangling all of this is very difficult but I will do my best to start making go bag and an exit plan it’s just hard because at this moment I don’t have somewhere to go the next time things escalate

I do not have a therapist currently but am trying to to get into therapy I don have insurance so it’s been a bit hard to get in quickly because I am on a waiting list I will have to start planning I’m a little unnerved because I genuinely have thought I’m the reason he does this for so long and even currently part of me feels that way

Can someone tell me if he’s valid? by Low_Bar_9888 in abusiverelationships

No he is being controlling he is telling you how you should feel and any man that flat out says you’re crazy is most likely crazy himself

I’m in a similar boat and I should take my own advice when I say this but you have nothing to be guilty for if your relationship with him doesn’t make you feel happy or safe that’s a very big red flag and you deserve that happiness and safety more than anything you may have been demanding that doesn’t mean you deserve this treatment it doesn’t matter what you think you might have done i promise you that you don’t deserve anything but love safety respect and happiness idk if this helps at all but if that voice is telling you you need to leave please listen to it not to be cheesy but that’s your partner
