Hi everyone. I'm just having a difficult time with something. Here's a short background. So, I've been with my current boyfriend for 2 years and I've never felt a love so strong before. My ex boyfriend and I were in a relationship for 8 years and we're still very close. We're just better off as friends. We like all the same things and have a mutual respect for each other.
My mom needs a lung transplant so I recently reached out to him to let him know. Him and my mom were always VERY close. So we've been texting a little here and there. Nothing crazy, just check in's and asking how she's doing. My current by is 13 years older than me and very self conscious about that and other things.
Anyway...the other night we were having a great time and I went to sleep before him and had my cell phone under the pillow. I always have it there. So he comes in and sees a text message from my ex...I was half asleep and so confused but he got so angry. He told be to get out and never come back. I tried to explain what it was about but he wanted nothing to do with it. Anyway, long story short, he called me some bad things. Like a cheating ***** and a slut and some physical stuff. So i drove home that night. The next morning, I had a bunch of hospital appointments with my mom and my phone was on silent, it was hidden in my purse somewhere. So I get home pretty late and look at my phone. There's like 30 messages from him saying terrible things. Like really bad things. I couldn't listen to it anymore so I turned my phone off. He ended up drinking a bottle of vodka and a bunch of sleeping pills and driving to my apartment. I let him in (my mistake I know) and everything was calm and then all of a sudden he got crazy. Just like yelling at me and he tried to choke me. So i ran out of my apartment and told him I was going to call the cops. He must of left when i got back to my apartment. I live on the second floor and I could hear him yelling from the street. I was scared for him to drive but I was also scared of him. He got home safely just to message me nasty things and threats. So, around 2am, knowing he probably passed out, I explained everything about the texts with my ex bf and apologized and started self loathing a bit (that wasn't smart of me). But anyway...my question is this: Am I in the wrong for not mentioning that I told my ex boyfriend about my mom? Honestly, for me, its such an insignificant thing, I didn't even think to tell him. He's acting like I'm a ***** and calling me terrible names and everything. My ex and I rarely talk. Like RARELY. We've exchanged maybe 5 texts between each other in the last few weeks, ALL ABOUT MY MOM. I'm just confused and sad. What do I do now?
