Her Boyfriend Gagged Her Then Locked Her In The Basement For Two Hours And Now She’s Asking The Internet How She Can End Things With Him

A 24-year-old young woman got into a huge argument with her 27-year-old boyfriend. He then gagged her and locked her in the basement for two hours.

Now, she’s asking the internet how she can end things with him in the safest way.

“I’ve been in a lot of denial over the last few weeks…” she started out by saying.

“….Telling myself that it was my fault whenever something bad happened and that things will get better and he will change to make it all okay again if I can just endure it for a little longer.”

“I found it very difficult to accept that he’s a different person to the one I fell in love with at the beginning, none of it makes sense and I thought I must be doing something wrong.”

She admitted he has severe issues with anger and she never knows when his next outburst will happen.

She added the stress he’s experiencing at his job is causing his anger issues to be even worse, and she doesn’t want to live in fear.

She’s terrified 24/7 that he’s going to gravely injure her or…worse. She’s been with him for three years, and she’s put up with a ton in that time period, but now she’s hit her limit of what she can deal with.

“Yesterday morning we had a massive argument where he slapped my face,” she continued.

“I punched him in the face in response. I raked my nails down his arms and drew some blood which made him furious.”

“He gagged me and locked me in the basement before leaving for work, with no way to contact him.”

He came back after 2 hours and let her out.

When he did release her, she didn’t utter a word to him. He tried to apologize, and she went straight to her room and sat down on her bed. She sat there for hours, doing nothing at all.

“I don’t know how to describe the way I felt then. Sort of cold and empty. I went to sleep, woke up to eat dinner then went back to sleep,” she said.

“We didn’t talk to each other this morning and I’ve just been eating and walking around the house for the whole day.”

She ended up calling her mom and asking her if she could stay with her. Her mom agreed to that, so she does have somewhere to go. She isn’t sure what to say to her boyfriend and how to end it, but she’s decided it’s best for her to do so.

“Is there anything important that I should do or keep in mind? I’ve never ended a long-term relationship before so I want to make sure that I approach this the best way I can,” she wrote.

Here’s what the internet had to say to her about this frightening situation.

“OMG. Gagged…and then locked her up? This is like an opening scene of some murder crime tv show.”

“I know you love this person, at least the person they used to be, but your safety and well-being is number one. Please don’t say anything or try to reason with him. Get yourself out and safe.”

“Do not talk to him. If he doesn’t know why, and can’t figure it out within 2 seconds, then he’s an even bigger monster than he already is.”

“Please. I know you don’t know me, and I won’t go into the whole story, but THE DAY MY MOTHER PLANNED TO LEAVE MY FATHER, HE KILLED HER.”

“Seriously. Like 2 hours before that, she asked me if I wanted to leave him. I said yes. We went home. I went out for a bike ride because I knew they would fight like always. I came home to gunshots.”

“My aunt was in an incredibly abusive relationship. She finally planned to leave him and unfortunately, she told him the day before she’d be leaving the next day… well he decided if he couldn’t have her then no one could.”

“He shot and killed her (in front of I’d my cousin who was 5) and then committed suicide. Like so many others have said, please do not let him know when you’re leaving.”

“…Just leave and don’t look back. Get a new phone and file a police report. This kind of behavior escalates.”

“A face slap turns to a broken hand. Being locked in the basement for 2 hours turns into being pinned against a wall with a gun to your head.”

“It does NOT get better and telling a controlling psycho that you’re leaving sends them into a panic because they don’t want to lose control over you.”
