Dropping the Love Bomb

[Had.enough]

When did the love-bombing stop in your story? How long was it until you saw a meaner side of your prince charming?

The real mean side came with commitment. We got married and had a child. Very soon after the marriage and while I was pregnant his abuse became very obvious. I think when we are vulnerable they go for the jugular.

about two years into it the hearts and flowers stopped. at first i thought due to a stressful situation arose he pinned me to a wall by the throat! i should have walked then. a year went passed and i was pregnant and during the pregnancy he definitely got worse. overtime he became more threatening physically he was so controlling i eventually stopped going out. thats how scared i was. every time i left the control upped and stayed that way xx i look back and think why did i waste all that time but i didnt understand trauma bonding then xxxx

Within the first 6 months together
He shouted at me in the middle of the street,he gave a shove against the pavement,he detroyed a tent kicking and punching it when I was inside
And the abuse went worse with the time
I think they show the real person who they are very quick,they can’t avoid it

The love bombing never stopped. His angry outburst showed within the first weeks of dating and never stopped either. Abuse cycle to the dot.

My ex raped me just a few weeks after meeting. And yet I carried on. I believe it was grooming. Have a look at some sites around grooming and see if it makes any sense. Attention, affection, coercion and violence/sexual violence……..
