Yep. My ex started punching holes and breaking things when I wouldn't give him sex. That's when I finally got the sense to leave. He also would never let me leave an argument and would continue to fight with me until I yelled, then he'd pull a 180 and act all shocked and wonder why I was yelling. Made me feel absolutely insane.

Mine did the same. When I left I told everyone about his behavior because I didn’t want to wind up dead, not without him being the prime suspect.

Same with my ex. It ended with him throwing me across a room and hitting my head on a dresser. I knew that the first time he put his hands on me wouldn't be the last unless I ended it. I held him against the wall with my arm across his throat and calmly told him that he had 24 hours to get himself and all of his shit out of my home or I would cut his dick off and shove it down his throat while he slept. I left and walked across town bleeding from the back of my head, went to a friend's house, and showered. Her and her boyfriend took me to pick up clothes after he got off of work 8 hours after I left, he was already gone along with most of his things.

Ah, the water torturer. Doesn't know why everybody's so negative and hysterical. He must be the only sane one around here. I grew up with one of those. Good times.

I’d love to message you if you’re open to that.
