This needs sorting asap. That means both listening. To the poster of this. Your points have been read,but i honestly dont think you have a spare thought for your guy. Its far too long a story to resolve here. But you need to accept him warts and all or get out. You describe yourself as a good loyal partner,yet try and turn the world against him.If he believes your cheating,then he must have seen something suspicious himself. I have the feeling this is the cause of it. Do stop trying to gather sympathy and get on with making it work or getting out.

THIS INCLUDED PUNCHING ME HARD IN THE MOUTH WHILST I WAS DRIVING THE CAR.THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. YES,IAM GUILTY BECAUSE THIS TIME SHE GOT AS GOOD AS SHE GAVE. SHE HAS BEEN VERY PROUD OF HER HARD REPUTATION AROUND TOWN AND HAS EXAGERATED THIS,EXPECIALY THE FRACTURED CHEEKBONE. WHEN SHE MENTIONED THE SCISSORS I SAW RED. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT. ALL I DID WAS GIVE HER SOFT PUNCHES TO HER ARMS SO SHE COULDNT REPEAT HER VANDALISM ON MY PROPERTY OR INJURE ME. SHE HASNT MENTIONED THE TIME HER OWN DAUGHTER WAS SHOUTING PLEASE STOP.

You are not mad for loving him. Love is too powerful an emotion to be destroyed by an act of violence, or even an act of murder. On that note, you would, without a doubt, be insane for staying with him.

thank you all for giving your answers but let me inform you all that i have not cheated ever there is no evidence of me cheating just his paranoia,he thinks very deeply about anything he believes is true never have i been given benefit of doubt,yet he can have a photo of an unknown female in his phone and tells me its a friend of his son,but i never accused him of cheating with her because i believe what we once had was good and his i dont care attitude spoilt that

Its a shame you both couldnt execise the same maturity his son did. I would without doubt call it a day.You admit you were violent to each other. You threatened him with scissors,you need to see a shrink asap. Dont assume just because your female that you can do what the hell you like because there are men who will thump you still.

One things for sure,you may have convinced yourself he`s over your past issues but he certainly isnt.Its time to call it a day. I presume you have cheated on him,well the next time you cheat it could end up a lot worse than it has this time.Dont go trying to resolve anything. You are a wrongly matched couple.

Infidelity can turn the softest person into a raging lunatic. I guess this is whats caused it. Its time for you to break permanently. If he is of a placid nature,this does prove that you are bad for him. For heavens sake call it a day.

dont ever say it was your fault,seems he must of enjoyed attacking you as you say his son twice stopped him from beating you and causing more injuries.i can accept he may of attacked you out of fear for himself but to attack you a second time was sheer bullying did you or have you informed the police no matter what cause this violence surely he cant believe that his behaviour was provoked by your empty threats,his son must be disgusted knowing his father is capable of such violence towards you,try and resolve this peacefuly and think about your child he needs you both whilst growing up

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 November 2007):

Firstly,why did he call you slut? Have you cheated? Whatever you think is resolved definately isnt in his case. Your explanations whether true or false shouldnt end up like this. There is no need for violence by either of you. At your age its time to grow up. If you stay together i dread to think how ugly it will get.I would advise you both to keep away from each other.If he is normaly placid then what sparked him? Being threatened with scissors shows you are just as bad. Yes you are mad.So is he.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 November 2007):

You both need to grow up. What was his reason for calling you a slut? This past issue may be resolved to you but it`s not to him? You threatened to stab him with scissors? Is this the sort of behavior hes become accustomed to? You both need to run the opposite way because it sounds to me that you are as bad as each other.

Have you heard of Domestic Violence!!!

you threatend to stab him with scissors because he called you a slut dear god at your age walk no run away as fast as you can.

He can be the best guy in the world but when he hits you thats it no second chances be done with this for all your sakes before anything desperate happens. Get yourself to your gp to get checked, so sorry this happened to you but you did not ask for him to do this.
