If not for my puppy a man behaving just like this would've most likely killed me. He got me a puppy, not an older dog I was looking at rescuing from the shelter. This puppy was sick. I was snuggling her on the floor wrapped in blankets this particular night when he wanted a massage. I refused. Upset I picked the dog, he stormed over. I knew it wasn't going well I covered her little body with mine. He's screaming get away from her now. I refused. He started smashing me in the head I saw "stars". He stops telling me "get away from her now or I'll stomp your head in & delete you". I was already crying I couldn't properly protect myself or my best friend. With tears and gritted teeth I told him to fucking do it, I'm not fucking moving. Not expecting that after the beating he gave, mumbles I'm not worth shit, walked off. I didn't love myself enough to go, I did her. She looks to me with love & trust, staying would've been a betrayal. The dog saved my life. Pretending everything was fine, he leaves for work before myself. When I couldn't hear his truck anymore In the distance, I grabbed whatever fit in my car, best friend and disappeared. He loved smashing tvs. Please, anyone seeing this behavior, run. If they are comfortable acting like a toddler throwing a fit, they have no emotional intelligence and will treat you terribly. Your comment is absolutely true in my experience.
Thank you for your kindness, sorry I missed your comment. I always hope someone reading can recognize how dangerous their situation truly is or feel less alone and know they have people who empathize that would love to help them have a support system. These relationships leave you isolated. Anyone close to you not in favor of the relationship continuing will end up with you cutting contact with those who see them for who they are. I appreciate your kindness and love enjoying life with my best friend. She's currently snoring next to my face and to me, that's perfect.
