...so after recent occurrences, I have decided that I need to get out of what could turn into a potentially abusive relationship with my new BF.

It's only been a month, but he's showing dangerous signs of control issues and verbal abuse, and I want to get out before things get worse.

I've mentioned his meltdown over an omelette in a previous post, and most recently, we got into a huge argument over the fact that I got a vaginal infection (as a result of him "needing" to engage in intercourse nightly regardless of my menstrual cycle) and me saying "no" two nights in a row.

These are only two instances where he's gone completely nuts whenever I've gone against what he wants.

I'm leaving out a ton here, but suffice it to say, if he's being this controlling and verbally abusive now, there's nowhere to go but DOWN, and after surviving a past abusive relationship, I know the signs.

So here's the deal... He has a key to my apartment, and my work uniform is still at his place. After last night, I have decided that I want to end it, but I know that trying to do it face-to-face could get pretty ugly.

Ideally, I want to mail his keys back to him and be done. No conversation... NOTHING. However, how do I get my keys back SAFELY? I'm not sure my apartment complex will allow me to change the locks.

I can purchase another work uniform and name tag, but the key issue is concerning.

He was so sweet at first, and I initially thought him wanting to spend so much time with me was kind of endearing. Boy was I wrong...
