Was he excused in hitting me?
Just venting but if you have any judgments please share😞 I have no one to talk to.
Starting off with the red flag everyone sees, I am 19 and he is 33. I haven’t loved him any less or felt anything less he has always been supportive he never isolated me or made me feel like less. But we do have an explosive and a very abusive relationship. I used to lash out on him, and physically assault him. I am not sure if that was reactive because he liked to tantalize me. But after many accidents and talks this is something that has completely stopped. I realized no matter how much he hurts me I don’t want to hurt him too.
Two days ago everything changed, he laid his hands on me for the first time:( ( the first time he’s punched me, he’s done things like shove me, and push me. Once he also choked me until I almost passed out but it was more self defense, I was pushing him around and being mean.) but I feel like he thinks he’s excused in punching me, because I originally punched him for restraining me after telling him to let go of me multiple times. I quickly apologized for hitting him, but he grabbed me by my wrists and spit on me, threw me to the couch. After a few hours I went to go check on him. I wanted to fix things. But he was not having it. He was already drinking.(alcoholic in failed recovery) he told me to leave him alone. To leave his life. Because I’m a waste of air. A cunt. Just horrible words. I started getting angry and heated which I know is what he wanted. He got all close to my face and started enunciating the words of the horrible words he was calling me so that spit would land on my face. This enraged me, so I just spit on his face back. I know I shouldn’t have, but I felt so helpless and little and small. As SOON as I spit he right hooked the side of my head. I froze and went back inside to separate myself from the situation. He follows to tantalize me and antagonize even more. He’s saying all these things for 20 minutes while I’m staying silent. How I’m a waste of air, how he wishes I kill myself, how he wishes my plane crashes when I go back home, how my bpd makes me completely unlikeable and it permanently makes me a bad person, just saying a bunch of things he knows will hurt. Finally he says something that genuinely cut deep. He says “yea that’s right just go back to your molesting daddy” my heart shatters, and I lash out on him. I hit him and I go insane and I realize I need to stop because that is what he wanted. The entire time he is saying yep that’s right keep going that’s what I thought. I left. I went to the living room and sat down. He follows again and is still antagonizing me, grabbing my hand and punching himself with it. Spitting on me multiple times (at least 10) and then I look up at him and I open my mouth to catch his spit (I also know I shouldn’t have done this.) and then I feel a hard punch in the back of my head. I start feeling dizzy so I go lay down. It’s the last of what I remember but the following day he was being even more verbally abusive. I went to the bathroom yesterday and I see that he broke the positive pregnancy test. It felt like a sharp pain seeing that. Like he absolutely despises me and anything associated with me. I’ve been staying on the couch. He asks me why I’m sad now. What is wrong. It makes me go insane. Should I not be sad that my bf hit me after promising he would never lay a hand on me?
I feel like this is all my fault. I think he is justified in hitting me. Is he? I know I shouldn’t have punched him. God I feel so hurt. I feel so alone. So depressed.
