Me and my fiancè are about to have a baby. I am 6 months pregnant.
Through out these 6 months he has punched me a couple times in the face, he's choked me countless of times, he's slammed me and everything. Our last incident was about a week ago, he was drunk and wasn't allowing me to leave the room so he slammed me on my stomach. He always seems to apologize and seems really sincer. But today we got into a minor disagreement and he threatened to knock me uncounsious. He apologized but I don't take these thing lightly because I know he would. Then I begin to think "if he hurts me while im pregnant imagine what he's capable of doing when I'm not carrying"
I love him and it's hard to walk away because we're having a beautiful family and my family loves him. I seem to always forgive him but I'm starting to get really anxious. What do I do ?
What do I do ?

I'm very confused because he's a beautiful person. He helps me through a lot and I know he adores me but sometimes I don't recognize this person. When he's good, he's great but when he's bad he turns pure evil. Is it just anger issue we can get though or do I leave ?

Alright, for something as serious as this I would honestly recommend a family counselor. It may be difficult to convince your husband to go, but I think it would be helpful. Even if you only went by yourself, I think it would help. As someone whos been to counseling for over 4 years (once every week for 2 years and then once every 2 weeks for 2 years), its helped me tremendously. However, my situation was not similar to yours, so I would recommend looking around for places that take whatever insurance you have and specialize specifically in marriage counseling (sometimes it may not work out with the first person you see, dont let that deter you!). Also, if youve never had a "shrink" before it may seem strange or awkward, but really it can help a lot. Im no professional, keep that in mind, but I hope for the safety of you and your child that things get figured out.
