      I finally moved out!!
      Although we are still in contact & every time I see him still I remember suddenly why I did move out & then it occurs to me that I don’t physically have to be stuck in an apartment with anymore I can just up & leave to my place & escape!
      It’s so nice just for that bit of respite & I can spend time doing what I want! Although he still wants to talk on the phone all the time & rang me to at a ridiculous early time to accuse me of signing up to dating sites. He also keeps pestering wanting to know where I am & keeps telling me hes sorting himself out properly this time but I still need to realise everything I’ve done to him??
      Anyway I just wanted to know if anyone has thought about giving an interview with police against their partner or ex after they’ve moved out?

      🏡 Happiness in your new home! I’m happy for you you have breathing space now? If he lets you? Just hoping for you he doesn’t know your new address? Yes, I think you can still report previous incidents, and now pestering counts as harrasment doesn’t it, If you have told him not to call at certain times? Remember you need to be safe đź’ž

      Hi Random,

      That’s great, well done for taking that step to freedom and now being able to enjoy your own place and do what you want to do. 🙂

      However, we all know that leaving an abusive relationship does not necessarily mean that we are free from it completely, and leaving can end one particular set of problems but commences another.

      The behaviour your ex has demonstrated last night amounts to harassment. Although you are no longer with him he still believes he is entitled to call you when he wants, disturb your sleep with late phone calls (clearly showing no respect for you or boundaries) and believes he has a right to control whether you internet date or not. He believes he is entitled to get you back in to his life again by telling you he’s going to sort himself out (which he won’t, they never do) and is not respecting your decision at all that the relationship is over.

      Many ladies do go to the Police after they have left a violent relationship to report the harassment and abuse they continue to receive post relationship, however, the Police will want to know what level of risk this man poses to you so they will also ask you questions about what went on during the relationship. They can / will deal with any offences you disclose to them and look at putting protection measures in place to protect you from harassment and/or stalking. This may result in a Restraining Order issued by the court to prevent him contacting you completely, even for ‘nice’ things, like sending you a text on your birthday to wish you a great day!

      Hope this helps x
