Hi,
I have just left a short relationship. I was in a very abusive relationship some years ago and had a lot of help afterwards so knew about red flags etc
I sat back in this more recent relationship, little things that bothered me I kept quiet about but stored the information away and when there was no doubt in my mind after an argument that was ridiculous and going round in circles, I filed an application for clares law with the police.
After a text I sent him staying that I didn’t like being manipulated, he sent a text dripping in venom , saying I was neurotic and paranoid, didn’t try hard enough in the relationship etc so I sent a very calm text back but included in it that I had been concerned by some of his behaviour so had filed for clares law and then I said goodbye.
Since that text there has been radio silence. This has both confused and unnerved me ( I know I should feel grateful for the silence but it is causing uncomfortable emotions for me)
I expected more angry texts etc and I am very confused by the silence and I am now doubting myself.
The police got in touch with me the day after I filed the application and came to see me 6 days after I filed it, by which time we had split up, so I doubt they will tell me anything now anyway.
So confused by his silence
