Sleeping W The Enemy

[TheNileRiver]

He was my best friend become lover become boyfriend. I saw the red flags. He was jealous, possessive and at times violent. We had gotten drunk a few times and went back and forth and exchanged a few blows. No big deal right? Fast forward to (detail removed by Moderator), about (detail removed by Moderator) months into our relationship – he beat me to a b****y pulp… It was the first time he had beaten me. I had no where to run to because I didn’t want anyone to find out. It just went down hill from there and why I stayed or accepted him even when I left? I can’t say. I love him yes, but I knew/know better. Now fast forward to (detail removed by Moderator) years of our relationship in (detail removed by Moderator) – he gets arrested for something non-related to me. He has no family, no nothing. I of course come to his rescue and pay for his lawyer fees because despite the monster he was – he was always generous and loving to me. But he is now coming home (detail removed by Moderator). I feel bittersweet. I want him out (detail removed by Moderator) of course, but he has to live with me (detail removed by Moderator) and I don’t know what to do. He’s facing (detail removed by Moderator) and we are both aware I can’t wait for him. I don’t want to sacrifice these last few years of my (detail removed by Moderator) to someone who does not even deserve me(I’m (detail removed by Moderator)). I don’t know what to do. I feel stuck! I would love to tell him, you have 6 months to find some place to live. But he’s broke and he has to pay me back.

You need to speak out. Ring the helpline on here. I think you are in terrible danger from him. These men are extremely dangerous when a relationship is ending and if he’s facing jail he’s not much to lose by seriously harming you. Get in touch with your local women’s aid before he comes home. I don’t think you will ever see the money you lent him. Abusers are parasites and suck everything from us. Exchanging blows is a big deal. It’s a huge deal. It’s wrong and it’s illegal. He knows he will always have then upper hand physically. He beat you to a pulp. He should already be in jail for that. This man is not your responsibility. He chooses to abuse you. It’s not too late to refuse to have him stay with you. The police can help you with your safety and security if you tell them what’s happening.

Beating you to a pulp doesn’t say generous and loving. Please speak to the police and WA, and retract your agreement to have him live with you.

Good luck, you don’t deserve that treatment at the hands of someone who is supposed to cherish you.

That was the movie that was on the day I admitted to myself I’m in an abusive relationship. ‘Sleeping with the enemy’ .
