DEAR ABBY: I’m a 37-year-old stay-at-home mother of two teens. I’ve been in a relationship with a guy I’ll call “Doug” for four years. I feel he only wants me here for sex. If I say no, he either tries to force it or verbally abuses me.
He tells me if I don’t give him sex, I need to leave so he can bring another woman to do it. He will destroy my belongings or call me names. He says it’s my fault that he does that to me. I’m not sure what to do here. Is it my fault? -- BAD SCENE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR BAD SCENE: When a boyfriend forces their partner to have sex, it isn’t foreplay; it is RAPE. That Doug emotionally abuses you or destroys your property if you refuse to accommodate him is not your “fault.”
What you need to do now is get out of there as safely as you can. Place a confidential call to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and ask for help formulating a plan to safely escape your abuser, because that is what this man is.
