Abusive partner hit me today
Today my boyfriend and I got into an argument. He hasn’t had a job for a while and has been living with me for months not paying for anything. So basically struggling for a long time and I mentioned having some alone time since he’s there all the time after I made him clean around the apartment. Somehow turned into an argument he was getting super close to my face acting like he was going to hit me so I pushed him away many times until he actually hit me in the mouth then several times on the side of my head after. I screamed for him to leave and I threatened to call the police. He’s hit me before multiple times in the past but only when he was drunk so I forgave him after he decided to be sober. Now that I realize it’s not the alcohol it’s just him, he’s an abusive human being. I am heartbroken and I guess looking for words of encouragement. We planned on a trip to Bali in June that’s reserved and we did everything together. How can someone do that to you if they love you? How do they not grasp the horrible things they’ve done and stop right away? How can you hit someone in the fact repeatedly and not feel sorry? I didn’t call the cops but I do not plan on getting back with him. I am heartbroken and just thinking to myself “why?”
