    why are you ****ting on a frightened girl. what is wrong with you.
    She clearly isn't that frightened if she is going to talk to him.

    It also shows that she doesn't listen to advice because I don't believe any of the numerous people that have replied on this thread have told her to talk to someone that has tried to hurt her.

    What's wrong with that? :lolwut:
    I guess I'm just a really weird person that looks down on people who spiral into violence after taking drugs like MDMA. I'm craaaaayyyyzy like that.

    I don't know what you are talking about. If it doesn't matter then I don't know why you are on this thread.

    what does it matter that this person is being a bit silly, why point it out and be mean when your actions will do nothing but antagonize her. why so mean guy, why so mean.

    Right.. If he threatened you so much over so little, you have reason to be fearful.

    Maybe don't lightly slap him. It's quite possibly that you slapped him either harder than you're letting on, or harder than you intended to, and this could have angered him. It could well be that we are not getting his side of the story here - maybe you hit him hard, and he made himself look threatening to get you to stop, rather than returning the favour to show why he didn't like it.

    I very much apologise if it really was just a light slap, in which case you should not live with him, because you are in danger if he reacts that strongly to minor things.

    MDMA is supposed to promote feelings of diminished aggression and hostility.

    Obvious troll is obvious. I'll give you 6/10 though fairly believable, that being said, there is definite room for improvement.

    I just hope you are trolling when you are writing this.
    o.O

    My intuition tells me that you are just seeking attention with this thread. People are replying with advice and you're just refuting all of it with a lame sentence/excuse each time.

    What exactly are you hoping to hear? You're an idiot if you stay there, he is not your friend, he is on drugs, he is using you, and it's not ok for either of you to hit the other (regardless of whether it hurts or not).
    are you serious? one of my best male friends tried to beat me up so Ive asked for help?!
    Im hoping for advice it has all helped me so far, im then just letting people know how i feel.

    he isnt drinking right now, (he wasnt actually in anyway) but im not the type of person to walk around being scared of him. He deserves a chance to explain himself and to let me know if he is sorry

    If you're in fear for your health and safety, report it, to either the uni warden or the police. With a record of that you will be able to get out of the contract with the landlord for next year somehow. They cannot force the two of you to live together if there is a record of violence/danger. They'd probably be more likely to let you break contract and leave (in advance, so they can find a replacement tenant) rather than break his contract against his will and force him to find somewhere else to live, since that way they won't have him trying to accuse them of any unfairness towards him. Ultimately you need to talk to him if it's safe to do so and if you're not sure it's resolved for good, make the arrangements to find somewhere else to live next year.

    Girlproblems, can you not SEE why people are saying what they are saying?

    I understand why you feel the way you feel in terms of not reporting him etc.
    Reporting him is not necessary, yet.

    In the end, he is NOT your friend if he is willing to constantly threaten you. This is the first time he cornered you, but you even mentioned that he threatens you over the table normally. you've even stated the fact that he doesn't like you all that much (in your original post).

    See it for what it is, he is using you for sex, but you are not proper friends.
    You cannot live with him next year, what would have happened if B wasn't there? How do you know that this behaviour won't progress or get worse?
    If he is still drinking, and if he is still doing the drugs, no matter how occassionally he is definite;y not going to get any nicer any time soon, even he doesn't get worse.

    Either way, i don;t see why you are not taking on the advice of trying to move.
    Talk to the landlord/estate agents and say that you cannot get live there because you are not safe in that situation.

    If you don't think you will be allowed, go and talk to someone at your uni accom office and ask their advice. That is what they are there for.


    You are just trying to get people to tell you to stay. Noone here has advised you to, and noone will and so you're getting all bent out of shape for it. Listen. To. The. Advice.

    you know when you say he had sex with you... do you instead mean he raped you? as it sounds like he bullies you.
