I don’t know if this is where I should post this question. I am sorry if this seems odd. I have been dating a man for about 6 months. I have known him for 10 years. He is quite smart, but also is often easily angered. This prevented me getting romantically involved for a long time. Once I finally slept with him it was incredible. However the last 6 month have been like riding a roller coaster. Great sex, great conversations, and it seemed like we were supposed to be together. Next thing he would get so mad he wouldn’t talk to me for a day or two. He would get in touch after he calmed down and another wonderful week with him. He says he loves me. Then he gets angry and I have no idea of what I did to cause that. I love this guy. The last month we seemed to have worked out some of that yo yo type of thing. Then a week ago after we had a wonderful sexual and loving experience. I feel this prick in my back. He was poking me with a needle. I thought maybe he was drugging me that night. I tried to grab his hand slowly to see what he had. I went home. A few days later I convinced myself it was nothing. Then it happened again. I felt something poking my skin one night like a needle or something. He had me wrapped in his arms. I kept laying there wondering what the hell. Wondering if he was doing that on purpose. I went home and found puncture marks where I felt the pricks happen. The next night when I got up there was a huge double edged knife next to him. I went home. I was scared, but again told myself it was nothing. When it happened the third time. I spoke up. I knew he was piercing me with something sharp on purpose. I looked up online and found info on Piquerism. I tried to talk to him about it. He said I was messing with his head. I should add on two occasions while he was sleeping he violently held me and said some crazy scary stuff until I woke him up. I begged him not to hurt me. Now I am scared all the time. I sent him an email saying I loved him, but couldn’t let him act on those impulses because it scares me. We didn’t talk for a few days. Last night he sent me a text and we texted some tonight. He said he loved me and wanted to come over. I told him sure, but that my best friend was at my house as well. He got pissed and told me I was messing with him. I don’t want to continue this relationship. I want to feel safe again. I won’t leave my house alone. I have my door locked and reinforced with screwdrivers. I am a bartender and have to have someone there when I close and walk me home because this fear is freaking me out. I didn’t imagine this behavior and anger. Many people feel he has potential psycho killer personality. Anyone interested in Piquerism? Am I safe?
