We were out camping in Colorado. The second night we were out , we were drinking. Our argument was over me not wanting to stay in the tent with her. I was just cooking up some chicken by the fire. Out of nowhere she broke down. Saying she was packing her shit and leaving me. And I have heard this before but I was sitting in passenger trying to convince her not to and calm her. She wasn’t having it , immediately she started punching my face ; biting me in multiple spots on my arm . I used my leg to push her back . She was gone for about 45 seconds . Came with a knife gouged my lower leg . (10 stitches clean to the bone.) As well as 15 staples in the head (back of my right ear, half an inch away from my neck.) Blood immediately started flowing. I was honestly scared for my life as we were about 45 minutes from the nearest hospital. I had to stay clam and convince her to drive me there.
Anyways, it was an abusive relationship. Im divorcing her and just was wondering ; has anyone else had somewhat of an experience as I did ? What were your thoughts? Im 23 years old , married for about a year and a half. Im not going back to her. Just heartbroken that someone i saw my whole life with ended up doing that too me. TL;DR

Holy fuck, as a 23 yr old girl I couldn’t imagine this happening to me or doing this to someone
You need to go to the police
Get OUT of there and go to the cops. Oh my god! I hope you’re safe.
Yeah no, theres no debate here. Shes too unstable, usually as a partner you should try to help her through it but in this case shes too far gone. I can’t imagine doing that to my partner in any situation. Go to the police, keep things on records, get an attorney and get that divorce.
Wow, sorry my guy. That’s criminal behavior with rage problems. Good that you aren’t rationalizing it enough to stay around. Be safe and if you have to meet her, only do it in a public space and bring someone with you.
I am so sorry. I see you filed charges. Are you able to stay with a friend or family member?
Bro wtf stay far away from her I’m glad you made it out safe man
Wow I’m really sorry that happened. That had to be extremely scary. I’m a 42F and I was in a similar relationship to this for 8 years on and off starting at 16 years old. It was detrimental to the rest of my relationship life. I’m now divorced with 2 little kids – and I had a really great upbringing before that abusive relationship.
Anyway, here’s my advice to you: do not date for a while. Seek therapy and do a lot of self work until you feel like you’re truly healed from what she did to you. If you don’t, you’ll carry your issues from that to the next relationships and you’ll likely end up choosing the wrong person again.
Good job for getting out – people don’t understand how hard that is. There’s no more upsetting question than when people ask me why I stayed so long.
Call the police before she kill’s you and…
She will.
This is how you die if you don’t get her behind bars.

Please get therapy for PTSD. This has the potential to taint the rest of your relationships. Not everyone is psycho.
Jesus. Sorry you’re going through this. I couldn’t imagine such an abusive relationship.
I’m sorry you went through that and glad you got out.
You’re doing the right thing by leaving her. Just stay away from her, thats all. I suggest you visit a therapist too.
This happened to me. We were three years in. Unbeknownst to me, she was on some kind of mood stabilizer. Our sex life had waned but thought it was just a normal evolution. She changed her meds to restore her libido. Her behavior changed drastically, became violent, and one night stabbed me with a knife … also in the leg along with beating my head with a mason jar. I actually forgave her because it was so out of character. She attacked me with a knife again two weeks later and sliced my stomach open
What the actual fuck.
I am sorry man . This is AWFUL! I am glad you are pressing charges and divorcing her. This is NOT ok .
Sending you hugs
My ex husband kicked me in the stomach with his deck boot and I lost my baby.
I stayed with him for another 8 years after that.
Don’t go back. It will happen again if you do. It will keep happening until you leave and then you’ll end up divorced anyway.
Don’t go back.
After reading some of the comments I saw that you filed a restraining order against her, which is great.As long as you’re safe that’s what matters the most right now. You’re 23 so you have so much time to meet other people who will treat you with respect and love. Hope all is well for now!
Why didn’t the hospital call the cops? Did they not suspect any crime?
You’re 23 and hopefully don’t have kids with her. You got your whole life ahead of you still thankfully. Make sure the next one is a little more sane. Nothing but up from here man.
Its a Moclan tradition to stab their partner to death to ask for divorce.
But since its a fictional race from The Orville, I suggest you get a restraining order.
I thought you were older lol till I got to age
When I was a little bit younger than you I had a weird relationship, she also tried to stab me. When I didn’t wanna be sexual.
A few years later I had a situation with an ex and again
Needless to say I fell in a abusive trap twice.
So definitely block and stay safe and far from now on lol
I’m gay. I make sure that before my man leaves the house, his balls are empty and his belly is full. Man 101.
So no, sorry, this isn’t normal and i can’t relate.
I will never forget the time my ex wife stabbed me with a pair of car keys and I had to get a bunch of stitches in my arm. I still have those scars and see them everyday. The crazy thing is I stayed and had a second kid with her. Luckily I am out now and my kids are safe with me, but those were some dark years. Hiding the knives in the house, the 5 broken computer monitors and TVs, being scared to even speak to another female in a drive thru, shit was rough.
Glad to hear you reported it to the police and that she’s facing charges. Abuse nearly always escalates over time, but when it starts out at this intensity there’s not much room for escalation that isn’t just straight up killing you. Which she very well might do given the chance.
I hope you’re feeling physically and mentally better soon.
Move, block them, have no contact with them unless there’s someone with you or around
Should have stayed in the tent with her.
Make sure you get all the medical records from the hospital and make sure your lawyer has copies. Take photos of your injuries as well. Talk to your lawyer about a restraining order as well.
I hope, being as young as you are, that you don’t have kids or are too entangled financially.
I’m sorry it’s going to be emotionally difficult, but please stay safe.
