Tonight my boyfriend beat me to the point I thought I was going to die.

Tonight I 28(f) and my 30(M) boyfriend were drinking to celebrate Christmas. I was having a good time, and we started wrapping presents. When I seen his phone, and saw pictures of a girls butt. I confronted him, and said I deserved an explanation. He finally told me 2 days ago he was texting a girl I always had an off feeling about, and got nudes from her. I started crying obv, and he kept asking for his keys which I wouldn't hand over because he was very drunk. I told him sleep in the bedroom, and I'd sleep on the couch. He could leave tomorrow.

He woke up randomly bc i kept going about my night. He was looking for the bottle of alcohol in the fridge and ripped everything apart completely. Alcohol spilled everywhere, he ripped trash out of the trash can. It was a disaster. He then tried cleaning the floor with lysol disinfectant spray you spray the air with. I tried redirecting him to a different cleaner bc we have animals. Lysol is very toxic to animals.

That's when it started. He grabbed me in a chokehold from behind and choked me til I almost blacked out. I immediately grabbed my phone and started recording just in case. He hit me in my face multiple times so hard my ears began ringing. He then proceeded to choke me two more times, and spit in my face. I know he was blackout bc he began talking about how "I died in Vietnam, and all my friends did b!tch!!" And how i put him in jail for 2 days. (This was the first ever violent episode in our relationship ever.) He apparently got me mixed up with his ex girlfriend.

I finally escaped, and called my dad, then his sister. His sister instructed me to call the police immediately, and she'd start driving to me. I called the police and he was arrested after I showed them the 13 minute long video of him beating me. As he got into the car, (I had his sister on the phone) he screamed "Call your dad, and have him get you the fuck out of my house." The lease has both our names on it.

His sister got me from the police station after my statement, and took me to the hospital. I'm okay, and have a minor head injury.

I'm so scared now. Idk what's next for me. I have no car. He controlled out finances so my car wound up getting reposed. Idk how I'll get to my job now. & part of me is feeling bad he's going to wake up in jail, completely unaware of what happened. His sister is convinced he has severe psychosis going on that was triggered from the alcohol (which is no excuse)

Merry Christmas. Am I right?

*EDIT* I'm very fuzzy right now after last night. I haven't slept yet. I am 100% not getting back with him. I wrote boyfriend out of habit. I'm taking him off my lease and changing the locks tomorrow. I did write it in the comments but some people seem to have missed that. So updating for clarification purposes.
