I'm going to try to summarize this as much as I can so it's as short as possible.
6 months ago, my husband strangled me during an argument. We were fighting about me finding something in his phone, which is nothing new as he's a serious serial cheater and someone who crosses my boundaries. I caught him texting a "friend" of his and basically flirting with her. When i called him out on it, it obviously turned into a fight and he soon even lied and said he has found something on my phone. When he started talking his shit and literally gaslighting what i had seen on his phone, i laughed and he started strangling me. I honestly can't even remember what he was saying to me as he was doing it. I just closed my eyes and hoped it was over soon. After he stopped, i was in a complete state of shock and just stood there, crying. He kept yelling and me and telling me how i can for real be a victim now and he proceed to start throwing things at me. I ended up just leaving the house and going on a walk, i didn't know what else to do.
I went to the ER next day, my throat was in a lot of pain and my ear kept ringing and hurting when i'd swallow. when he saw me leaving to the hospital, he didn't say anything. he didn't even ask me if i was okay. 6 months later, i'm stuck with the trauma going to therapy and he's acting like nothing happened, being so kind to me. I seriously don't know if he'd ever do something like that to me again, but i'm honestly so scared and don't want to be with him anymore. We have a 7 year old daughter and I just am so scared to leave and feel like i have no grounds to leave.
i just seriously need some encouraging words. I don't know what to think anymore
