I have been with my boyfriend for 13 years now. We have had so many ups and downs, he is quite reactionary. Has always held housing over my head by “kicking me out” during fights, knowing I made less than him and didn’t have family to rely on. We are on trip and the morning we went to leave he blew up that I forgot to clean the inside of the car windshield and yelled and berated me until I did. All in front of our friend who was coming along. Along with this, he took the vent clips off my AC in my car and threw them in the backseat to me to show how much “he didn’t care about those.” I kept quiet the whole drive for our trip and last night he said he is not going to say sorry because he thinks I need to. I’m the one that pushed him to blow up like that and all he ever does is beg me to love him. The abuse now is so visible. I have no idea how I hid it from myself for so long. I keep repeating to myself that someone who really loves me would never throw things at me to remind myself that it is going to be okay to leave. It’ll be hard and he will not make it easy on me, but I cannot stay in something like this.
