mrsdz Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hello, You really didn't give enough info for me to understand what exactly is going on. If you aren't doing anything illegal then you have nothing to worry about with the police, unless you mean she is telling you she will fabricate a story.

He could get his hand out if he wanted to but that would mean letting go of the cookie, so he remains stuck. That sounds like your situation right now. You are suggesting that you are being threatened with being accused of domestic abuse (do I understand that correctly?) if you don't do what this woman wants, but you don't want to leave the situation because it is comfortable. So you have to balance the risks of being so accused against your ability to support yourself on a meager disability payment which will definitely be hard to do. Only a lawyer would be able to advise you regarding how to handle the threat you are under. However, it does seem to my lay eyes that this is a real threat. I've known of cases where a woman starts a fight and when the police are called in it is the man who gets carried away to county jail. If the police come out to your house, they pretty much have to take someone into custody (so as to cover their asses should there be some worse violence later on if they were not to separate the parties. So it may not be enough for you to simply never under any circumstances not hit this woman - they may just take you because as a man you are the presumed aggressor. My sense is that this is a dangerous situation and that you would be best served by leaving the relationship and the cohabitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
