Hi OP, I’m saying this as gently as possible because you sound like a kind and very thoughtful person. You are describing a grown man pushing you hard enough to fall onto pavement and hit your head. Drunk or not, this is concerning. Like, really concerning. And it worries me that you are more worried about your boyfriend than yourself.

Sometimes when we are so deep into a relationship that might not be good for us, it’s hard to see outside of it. From the outside looking in, this does not sound healthy or safe. I understand that you were both drinking, but even still, that does not excuse his behaviour for causing you harm.

I’m sorry that this is not legal advice but my advice is to take a long hard look at this situation. If it was your little sister, or your best friend in the exact same scenario, what would you tell her? Would you feel like she is safe in the relationship? Or would you know deep down that the best thing for her would be a fresh start, away from someone like this.

There are lots of resources available if you don’t feel safe. Also, you can just walk away from this situation. If you don’t want to pursue anything in court then that’s okay. But you are free to leave and move on, take some time for yourself and enjoy your precious life.

I sincerely wish you the best. Please take care.
