Craig Elliott, New Holland, PA USA

My ex and I lived together for almost a year. During the first few months of our relationship, he seemed like the sweetest guy out there. He said and did all the right things. We jumped into things head first and where soon living together in our own apartment.. A month or two after we moved in, he hit me for the first time. He got really drunk and peed on the stairs (I know, it’s weird). He kicked me in the face and gave me a bloody nose… After that things just went down hill. He got a new job working 2nd shift. After a bad day (which became every day), he’d go to the bar after work and get hammered. He’d come home and wake me up at like 3am. I wasn’t sleeping right and it was affecting my job. The worst incident happened about 4 months ago… I came downstairs and he was just mad for no reason. He shoved me up against the fridge. Then he threw himself on top of me and said I was a “fat fuck” because I couldn’t push him off. He then repeatedly punched me. He broke my phone so I couldn’t call the cops. I tried to drive away, but he jumped on top of the car and pounded on the windows. He even put dents in the car, which I was borrowing at the time. I left him about a month ago after he gave me a concussion. This guy is trouble! After we broke up, I found out that he had been talking shit behind my back the whole time we were together and cheating on me regularly. What gets me is that he bought me a ring and was gonna propose to me… Please, don’t date him. I beg you… And I know you probably won’t believe me. I know I didn’t believe anyone at the time. I had to learn the hard way. But I want to do whatever I can to prevent this from happening to anyone else…
