ORIGINAL: CollaredProperty Hlen5- to answer your question, I'm angry, disappointed in him, and I don't want to see him again. It doesn't help that he threatened to kill me, and said that I deserved it. He keeps telling me it's a small issue and reiterates the physical activities i have consented to, and how he's confused about this being different. But I appreciate all of everyone's feedback. It feels like the right thing to do to disconnect. He is confused about this being different? So... abuse would be justified and placed right in your little corner because you allowed him to do things and then went red on him. How typical of the those that belittle your feelings and claim any defense or justification. Confused little boys need strong lessons and there is no better way to teach them that, than to not engage... not try to understand... not try to point out how he hurt you or anything else. The more you engage, the more it enforces that he still might have a chance to talk his way out of it or to confuse you. With a guy like this, at the breaking up point, they belittle how you feel and try to manipulate. If it doesn't work, they can become more dangerous at this point. Do not be afraid that consensual acts might make people think this is a game that can often be played between domestic abuse partners. Just like rape within a relationship. You consented to sex... but this one time you didn't. That still doesn't mean you weren't raped. Keep that in mind. He hit you in anger to the point of injury, lost control OR tried to manipulate you to control you through fear, anger and pain. Just because you might enjoy some aspect of these things, doesn't mean you will enjoy others. You have a right and an obligation to yourself to protect yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally whether that protection is needed in his mind or not. I would be watching my back... covering my ass and would be taking legal action, because if they don't respect your feelings on it, justify it and all that back and forth about it... they won't respect or comply with anything else but a stronger position than how you feel. It isn't easy... think of those that first stood against domestic abuse when there was little that could be used against a husband or wife that abused. They had to stand up and force people to see that what happened in a family wasn't all fair because it was commonplace or someone had a right for whatever reasons. This could be one of the hardest things you do, but you need to send a strong message. Make sure he gets it. Most want to walk away from the chaos and drama... just go away and leave it alone. This is totally understandable, but not always effective. Only you can make that call... but whatever you do, stop taking his. Good luck to you.
