Do I go through with the DV trial or try to drop it?
I met my ex 9 years ago, we were friends for 6 years and then we got together 3 years ago after he kissed me when I was with my ex ex and that relationship broke down after 10 years of being with him and moving to another country with him. We were happy, we got engaged Jan 2025 and were set to marry in April 2026. He called the wedding off a week before by sending an email out to the guests before telling me he was actually doing it. We went through a rough couple of weeks and then were trying to make it work but at the end of May he strangled me and pushed me over and we had a physical fight. I didn’t press charges on the night but he took all the money out of the account and then I pressed charges with the police. It’s been 6 weeks now and there’s a court order so we can’t speak to each other. We bought a house together in January and we got a loan for some of it from his dad (who’s very wealthy). I received a letter from his dad’s company with a caveat for the house, apparently his dad can sue both of us for the money we owe. I’m trying my best to get the charges dropped and have been told that can happen but haven’t heard back. But now I’m worried his dad is going to come after me and wondering if I should do it?
