I’m a 47 year old male from nj. This all started out as a playful slap to the face. She realized by my facial expression that I liked it. Playful name calling ensued and we laughed about it then talked about exploring. Before I knew it, the slapping and name calling wasn’t playful and I started to find myself giving in to whatever she wanted because I found myself becoming afraid of her. The abuse was happening in front of her friends and some of them would laugh and cheer her on, then it was in public and then it escalated to my work with phone calls and threats and then just showing up. The last straw was when she tripped me as I was going down a flight of stairs leaving to go to work. I ate shit in a major way and had to call out. I heard her laughing and then she said” it’s only 15 steps pussy, get up”. I did get up when the ambulance came. I’m surviving 3 months on my own now after 7 years of abuse. I find myself wanting to go back but I can’t and I won’t. It really is hard when someone has that much control over you. Stay strong everyone. Just take it day by day
