I finally left. Things got heated. He pinned me against the wall next to the door as I was leaving. His hands around my throat but not tight at all (I know that doesn’t excuse it at all) I’m in a hotel for a few days (I got school and I volunteer at the humane society) but after friday I’m going to leave to a friends in a near town to stay for a few days. I’m looking for a new place immediately. But when I go to get the rest of my things like what can I do? If I ask would a cop come with me while I collected things? What are my options or what would anyone recommend in this situation as I’ve never been here before?

I’m the one who paid for the apartment, its student housing so its in my name. I paid for electric and everything if thats important. I don’t really want to get a restraining order but if I have to I will. I just really don’t think it will come to that. Its the first time this has ever happened. We were both really upset and I’d had a lot of emotions bottled up. But it’s over and I just want to find a new place as soon as possible and move on and never look back at this relationship. Any advice is appreciated.
