Its funny cause I know what you are feeling! When he is home he is a ticking time bomb and once he is with someone else he is sweet as pie! That's how my husband is except he was emotionally abusive! Behind doors he would disrespect me, cuss me out, and so on and so forth.  I finally had enough! We have 2 children and I left him and got my own place.  Then all of a sudden he would call and tell me how much he loved me and i was all he had and that he didn't want to lose me. So like a BIG dummy i went back, and that honeymoon lasted a couple of weeks before it restarted.  Long story short I left again and stayed gone. He calls with the same sad love song! You would have to come that point where you have had enough and walk away. Sometimes it takes longer than most to realize when a man means you no good. So don't beat yourself up if you find yourself being drawn back to him. Because eventually you are going to get tired of being his door mat and kick his AZZ to the curb and find someone who is going to love you the way you deserved to be loved!!

What did he do that was so awful that you felt the need to kick him to the curb? As the one who got tossed out, I am very curious. I agree with 2stressed, that if you fear for your safety, get an order for protection. If it was a heated argument, wait a couple of days for things to cool off before making any rash decisions. It's not safe to make important decisions when you're under duress

Do you feel like your life is in danger? If so, then you need to call the police!  If you were in a heated argument when you tossed him out, give it a couple of days to clear the air and then decide what you wanna do!
