Life Threatening Argument *Edit*
My husband tried to strangle me.
He was in the living room drinking, like usual, and came into the room. He was all over me trying to have sex with me and I told him I wasn’t in the mood and he got upset. I got up because I was sick of this drunk behavior and was extremely tired (I’m 9 weeks pregnant with our twins). He followed me and we argued for a while before I decided I was done and wanted to leave him. I have no idea where I would go if I did, I just wanted a way out. I took off my ring and threw it at him... and he snapped. He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me into our bedroom and wrapped a cord around my throat saying things like “if I can’t have you, no one can.” There was no love or life in his eyes as I looked into them. He eventually stopped and tried to explain and back up his actions by saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing and is just drunk and sorry. I cried and screamed at him. I don’t know what to do.. I know I should leave him but I have no where to go and I’m afraid if I do go anywhere he will know exactly where I am. I don’t know if he’ll try anything else and I haven’t slept because I’m afraid he’ll try something in my sleep.. I don’t know what to do or who to tell...
Edit: He only stopped (I feel this is the reason) because we have a daughter. She walked in, saw the situation and begged her daddy to stop hurting her mommy. It broke my heart and I know I need to leave or he might hurt us but believe it or not, it’s hard. I love this man and I would be very upset if my daughter could never see her father again or grow up with him.
