And about last night,

 

I had ear plugs on but there was a thud.

 

I think it was the cabinets.

 

 

I go out to use the bathroom,

 

and I see David standing in the living room,

 

directly facing towards my room.

 

 

Expecting something. Escalation.

 

*On this, I could be wrong.

 

But it was peculiar from my end.

 

 

 

So all he's done here. What is further alarming is,

 

that he does these things, slamming, and loudly burping to

 

show that he doesn't give a fuck,

 

he has known the outcome of this and pushed for escalation.

 

 

I have no idea why he is wired this way.

 

It's just conflict and 'winning' by assertion of ego.

 

Subjugation in his mind is victory.

 

This has been on-going harassment and assault.

 

And it's been a rollercoaster ride.

 

Retracting, only to climb back again in the shortest time.
