hi LYF17, I'm not certain from your posts whether you're living with him or have your own place. If you do have your own place, please make sure it's secure and he doesn't have the key. Be ready to call 911 if he comes around intoxicated.

You're able to say no to his face, even when he abuses you, so you must be a strong woman, and I wonder why you still have a relationship with him. Maybe you think this is normal behaviour, having seen it earlier in your life? It's not normal, even the throwing and destroying things; it's intimidating and abusive and you don't have to put up with it.

Hang around, do some reading here and on reputable web sites for DV to get another perspective. His violence is escalating; it started with throwing stuff, then destruction, then you. Now it's common. You may be in real danger either from deliberate harm, or accidentally hitting your head or similar. No man is worth that.

Does he like you? Well ignore what he says and look at how he acts and you might get your answer. He likes you fine while you're handing over money, and hates you when you stop. If another woman came along with money he'd be gone in a flash.
