      Me again!
      I think as I go through this process to leave him I am more and more aware of his actions and everything grates on me.

      Opening the front door and he grabs me (removed by moderator). I tell him to get off me and he calls me a (removed by moderator) and goes on to say – (removed by moderator). I told him you can’t just have me and his reply was yes I can.

      I am not a very touchy person so maybe I was abit hasty with that bit but the marriage contract bit really really gets me. To be fair, I have no idea what we said when we got married, it was just some standard saying from the person conducting it.

      Are my emotions over reacting as I know what is coming? (me leaving)

      No you’re not. It doesn’t matter what was said in the marriage ceremony your body is your body and you get to decide who touches it and how. No one else. Marriage doesn’t give your spouse the right to touch you when you don’t want to be touched.
      Hope you’re ok x*x

      Don’t get hung up on marriage vows. The very first time he abused you he broke them and gave your permission to walk away. Abusers will use any old lie or tactic to regain control. It’s one rule for them and a different one for us. That’s when it suits them. Don’t waste your time trying to reason with him either x
