Hi there. I agree with freedom. (whom I commend for freeing herself from an unhappy, unsafe situation).
Verbal abuse does sometimes escalate to physical violence and even when it doesn't, it should not be tolerated. We don't have to be with a partner that abuses us in any way.
Totally agree to make a plan and follow it to get out. don't write it down where he might see it though. Things to consider, where you are going, how to get here, support you have, etc.
If you have parents you can go to, that is helpful. And when you get your things, make sure someone is WITH you. Don't face him alone. In fact, if you can get your stuff and just move out when he isn't there--- even better. Try not to have a confrontation. Then stay around people as much as possible.
Without knowing any details, that is what advice I can give you now. But I do wish you luck and we are here to be a sounding board going forward. peace dear

How long has the verbal abuse been going on? Has he ever been physically abusive? It took me 6 years to leave my abuser. I still have issues from it but ive gotten better. It all started with verbal abuse...and went downhill from there. Extreme violence. If you want out, then make a plan. And follow it...line up a place to stay, check on abuse support assistance, etc. Abuse only gets worse. Go with your instinct
