His reponse was get rid of it, put it away or he would get rid of it. I put in in a box in the back of the closet and thought that was good enough. I came home from work the next day and the closet was torn apart and I found the stuffy in the garbage. He had used a knife to cut it to pieces and opened a can of beans and poured that on top.
I saw that and that was it, I was going to leave. I packed some stuff and was walking out of the bedroom, he said that I couldn't leave him and I said after what he did, how could I stay? Before I could react, he punched me in the face and sent me flying back. I was in shock and he came over to me saying how sorry he was and he didn't know what came over him etc etc. I believed that he didn't mean it, how could he, we were in love. Boy was I wrong. It started slowly but I was always to blame.
In later years I found out from a guy I was dating (who knew my ex from their work) that my ex was found guilty of assaulting another woman and was required to attend anger management. I was shown the article in the paper so I know it was true. Not sure if he abused all the women he lived with before and after me but I have a feeling he did.
