Abuse is something that crosses all gender lines and you deserve to have support. This is a very overwhelming thing to navigate and you do not have to do it alone. I am glad to hear that you have a support person to lean on. Another option would be reaching out to a local domestic abuse organization. If you would like to explore your options and get connected to your local resources, we are always here to chat. I also want to let you know about our page on male survivors of abuse at this link. Thank you for posting this important information. This form of abuse is constantly overlooked by authority figures, and if it documented it goes onto to be shrugged off.
Strangulation can have serious medical consequences, however, I feel many people do not take this action seriously. In doing so, it would be a step forward in helping establish and enforcing laws that would hopefully protect past, present, and future victims of abuse. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We agree that strangulation should be taken very seriously. We appreciate you being a part of our online community and speaking out for survivors!
Thanks for sharing your story here. I was just abused yesterday, he put both his hands around my neck and squeezed and shook me extremely hard until I felt I was going to pass out. The evil and hatred anger in his face was horrible. I called , but of course he denies anything. I want to get my belongings from the house but he wont let me have them. The police were no help, actually rude. Ive been curled up in a ball in the corner crying all day. I cant get that vision of him choking me and the horrible things he said out of my head. My neck is sore and my throat hurts, feels closed.
Im petrified, im so afraid. I dont know what to do, im so broken inside. I am so sorry that this happened to you. What your partner did was incredibly abusive and dangerous, and there is nothing you could have done to deserve it.

The thing is you need to get up and get on …. I was strangled on May 26th. He grabbed with one hand as he sat on top of me in fetal position.
He took my arteriey area and squeezed it hard as he could. It was not for a few seconds. He held me as his captor for several weeks being as nice as can be. Then, he drove me to the shore without my medications. I am a post brain and spinal cord injury. I take numerous meds.
He came to me and said he booked two nights at the place. I looked at him and my heart sunk because I knew I would not make it two days without the meds without serious problems. I was up all night very sick. In the morning he was angry because I was complaining. He wanted me to try to make it through till the end of the reserved time. I said I could not. He was angry and drove me back to my apartment and left me there in the health crisis.
The Dangers of Strangulation
He said he was done with me. He then proceeded to send me message after message and call my phone repeatedly. He fianlly came to my apartment several days later apologizing. He then forced me to leave my apartment with him and took me to his home where he ignored me for several days. Then, he refused to bring me home. He made another threat against my life by picking up a fifty pound weight and bringing it down to my head as if he were going to kill me but stopped it. The next day, he took me home.
He was angry because he found out I had gone to the hospital during the few days he dumped me off after the shore. He was furious I had sought help for the strangulation. I told him I did not tell police.
And, I actually did NOT tell police. He did not believe me. I had only gone to ER because I feared I may have a blood clot from the strangulation because my face and neck had swelled. He also found out that I took images of the injuries. I tried to assure him I had not notified police. But, he did not trust my word. After the last dump off, I told him I was afraid of him and did not want to return to his home.

He has been trying to call for days. Today, he sent a message saying he wanted me to move in with him permanently. I have read some articles online about partial strangulation and understand victims can die up to months later from clots and other unseen internal injuries. I am afraid for my life because I know how serious the strangulation was. I am afraid to go to police because of all the threats he has made.
I want to relocate but do not have money to do so and shelters are full here in my area. I have found one out of state but have been unable to find funding for the transportation. We would like to help you create a plan to stay safe and possibly locate some additional resources for you. I need someone to talk to. I never thought this could happened to me. He might even find this. But I need someone to talk to, I need help.

My boyfriend put me in a chokehold today over me attempting to look in his phone.
I should have dropped it before it got that far but I think his physicality went overboard. It was very scary and painful to be put in a tight chokehold, especially by someone who professed their love for me 20 minutes before that moment. Later on I realized as the pain set in that he had scraped the back of my ankles with his shoes when he had me in the chokehold.
I told the police this in a call after the fact but again they did nothing. I am absolutely devastated and frightened by this situation and the physical pain I feel and powerlessness is heartbreaking and shocking. My neck hurts, my head hurts and my body is already sore. What can I do? Besides staying away from him. This sounds so scary. There is nothing you could have done to justify what your boyfriend did to you.

We got back together and he never told me that he had unprotected Sex with women from tinder I found out on my own. He made me feel like I was horrible for getting std tested and then he was going to cheat on me with a fake account I made pretending to be another woman. Last night, he strangled me. All because I was trying to talk to him even though he was tired.

He got on top of me and squeezed my throat Really hard to the point I could not breathe , let go and then did it again. My throat hurts so bad and my ear too. My eyeballs even hurt. But none of that is as scary as how I feel emotionally. I feel like an empty shell. I feel like a zombie.
