Is this what he is thinking when he tells me how afraid he is of losing me?!?
Wow breakthrough moment. He is not afraid of losing me because he LOVES me, he is afraid of losing me because I clean up all his mess.
Last year during one of our many fist fights the police came and said they were not leaving without arresting someone. I knew that he had 4 Domestic assaults on record, and 1 from 10 months earlier and I knew that if he got arrested he would do a minimum of 18 months. So I put my hands out to the officer and said fine arrest me then! The cop just looked at me with confusion and said ok lets go. They did not cuff me and it was thrown out.
But the point is, I sacrificed my freedom and my good name to protect him.... protect HIM after I had just been body slammed to the hard kitchen floor 3 times in row just because I wanted to leave and not stand there and fight with him.
OMG I am his enabler!
