Even my husband says your husband wasn't being a man, but instead a little b****. He said guys who are willing to lay a hand on a woman, no matter how heated an arguement, will never see what is wrong with hitting a woman. He said your best bet is to leave before it gets worse and you end up putting your baby in even more danger.

Honey he is not a safe man to be around. Guys who show no remorse for hitting a woman especially one carrying his child is not someone you want to be around. Now that you haven't pressed charges he got a free pass. You need to get away, for the safety of your child. Go live with your parents for the remainder of your pregnancy and plan what you can do to keep yourself and your baby safe and healthy afterwards. Being choked out seems to be the first step to worse actions. It WILL get worse, I will guarantee that. Don't wait for it to get worse because it may be too late at that point.

I forgot to add that you mentioned your mom moving in with you after the baby is here. Who will keep an eye on you for the next 7 weeks of your pregnancy?  Like pp said he could be a ticking time bomb and this may only lead to worse things like getting pushed down stairs or even worse.

Harming you is NEVER ok. For the baby's safety, you should leave him. He could be a ticking time bomb. Don't let ur mother move in with you, YOU should move in with her and leave his ***. So sorry that happened to you!

Are you able to move in with your mother or another relative. Obviously your mom can't 'keep an eye' on you both forever. Please please think of your unborn child.

I am 32 and grew up with an abusive father (towards my mother). My worst memory is my mother saying he was moving back in and I cried so hard til I couldn't breathe and screaming "no!" I think that screaming woke my mother up, he never did move back in thank Jesus. Please don't put your child through the same psychological turmoil I went through or that of many other unfortunate children.
