My bf and his friend are friends on and off and he asked me to tell him whenever he talks about him and to also stand up for him if I can (I'm coworkers with his friend at our city's movie theater) so i said okay. When his friend got mad at my bf he joked about him and made him seem like a big joke right in front of me, upset I stood up for him and he apologized. Later when I got off work my bf was there unexpectedly to pick me up(my mom was supposed to pick me up that day)he didn't look happy to see me so i knew something was up. As soon as I got into the car he started yelling at me. Telling me to mind my own damn business and that it was my fault that his friendship was ruined. He started violently punching the steering wheel and cussing me out, and at that moment I should've gotten out and called my mom because he was really starting to act crazy, but I didn't. Me being the type of girlfriend I am, I stayed and tried to calm him down and that's when he did something I never ever thought he'd do. He started choking me. FULL ON choking me. As a response I opened the door with one hand trying to get away. But he kept his grip around my neck. It attracted attention of other people thankfully because it took 2 people to get his hands off me. Long story short after a police report he was arrested and I pressed charges. He was bailed out and he tried to come to me to make things right, he apologized but I still broke up with him. We had gone through so much. He's cheated on me 3 times with the same girl who also gave him chlamydia. He wants to get back together but I don't know. Honestly through all of this I still love him. I'm still attached to him, because of this im actually considering giving him one last chance, but then I don't want to regret this.
