Not really sure how to start this but here it goes... We were swimming with some friends at my boyfriend’s parents house. We were playing around near the deep end when he proceeded to pull me underwater and hold me there to the point where I was literally milliseconds away from inhaling salt water. When we resurfaced, I was pretty shaken up and expressed my confusion and frustration before getting out. I dried myself off and went on a run to process the event. When I got back from my run, I was expecting him to ask me if I’m feeling okay and apologize but he acted as if nothing had happened.
I calmly brought it up a few days later and shared how I felt about it in private expecting some empathy. He proceeded to raise his voice, get super defensive, dismiss my feelings, and tell me it was just how he always plays around. He then expressed his frustration at me for making it such a big deal about it... making me feel sad and dejected. It’s been about a week or so since we had this initial conversation about it.
We’ve been together for about 7 months now , so relationship is still fairly new, but I love this man and I’m really torn and not sure what to think about him now. Kinda scared of what else he would be physically capable of and also not really happy about how he handled the situation afterwards. Really appreciate your time and any help/guidance on what to do/think moving forward. Thanks in advance, y’all
TL;DR: boyfriend tried to drown me but claims he was just playing and I am now searching for advice on what to do moving forward.
