Q: Should I stay, or should I go?

Last night my fiance and I got into a really horrible fight, that ended up getting physical on both our parts. The fight started because I wouldn't tell him in great detail about my day. (I am on bed rest, so my explanation consisted mostly of, I layed on the couch, I layed in bed, and I watched cartoons.) He got very angry and started accusing me of cheating on him, and all sorts of other horrible things. When I started getting very worked up, I told him to leave. That I couldn't take the stress. He then pounced on me, and not only hit me multiple times, face, abdomen, back, sides, but resorted to choking me when I fought back. He choked me into unconsciousness. When I came to, he was sitting on my belly, holding me down and screaming at me. This was the worse he has ever been in a fight, he has thrown me around before, but never made me fear for my life like this. I don't want my kids to have no dad, so I don't know, should I stay or should I go?

You dont want your children to be without Dad but you would prefer this violent man being around them? he is a risk to others so he could potentially cause harm to your children, as he doesnt seem to think twice about hitting a woman. What he is doing is TOTALLY unacceptable. To me he sounds like a bully who hits women. I was in this situation with my first pregnancy and it went on until my son was born, only then i had the strength to leave him. You should go to the police. Thats one of the mistakes I made then as now 6 years on my Ex is taking me to court for unsupervised contact, and i have no evidence of his battery. Please talk to someone a family member, friend, police anyone. This should NOT be happening!

and on the other hand my best friend suffered violence in her relationship for many years, even being booted in the head going the hospital etc, her partner never changed, she has since left him and has a much happier life with her children.
I am totally shocked at your partnes level of violence, and can only suggest to get out while u can, this sounds lvery dangerous to you and your baby. I really am stunned. good luck I hope u find a way out xx

Go, if he did this once, he will do it again and you never know but he could very well do this to the baby. Press charges, you deserve better.

Get a restraining order first. That way when he goes to court to get custody he will most likely fail miserably. then you can move on with your life, and find a GOOD MAN, (yes, dont settle for another dirt bag please!) and then your baby will have a nice new daddy and crap-daddy wont be in the picture. been there done that!

I packed my things and left last night. I coulldn't take the fear anymore. I really have no family to turn to, and all our friends are mutual... So I left on my own, with all of your comments pushing me. I am in a deeply depressed state right now, my mind keeps telling me to go back home, but my body, and the bruises scream that it will happen again, the minute I walk through the door. The babies are doing fine, no injurys, and I am going to be doing great soon too. I know that posting this on here was probably silly, but I was so lost, and didnt have anyone to turn to. Thank you all for being honest. He isn't going to be a daddy to my children, the police are looking for him, and they tell me I am not the first, but I need to be the last. I was scared to call the cops, I didn't think they would believe me, but they are doing more than I could have ever asked for... thank you all so much. never again will i stay, and i never will return...
