My Story – Jesse

My partner has extreme intimacy issues. Hates touch, conversations about issues, and requires alone time to destress. I have learned his boundaries through many unnecessary fights. He always shuts me down when I talk and tells me that talking to him is “violating his boundaries” and “forcing interactions” yet will scream at me to listen to him. He controls me and manipulates me. Yesterday when he came home I asked him what he wanted for dinner amd ordered it for him. When it arrived I knocked on his bedroom door to let him know, to ask him for some weed, and if I could use the shower, (we have separate rooms due to his issues). He opened the bedroom door and when I walked partially in, he slammed the door on me, pushing my leg against the door jamb, resulting in the bruises in the pictures. He then said he was going to kick me out, and he is staying with a friend.
