Hi all, so if you saw my original question (thank you for your advice by the way), I have an abusive relationship with my girlfriend of years. She gets physically violent when we argue. Yesterday I sat her down at her house and told her I want to break up and explained all my reasons why, and that I still care for her and hope everything works out for her even though it didn't work out with us.
But she then started crying and sobbing, and snatched my house-keys away from me and physically wouldn't let me have them back. When I went to the front door, she blocked the doorway and wouldn't move until I agreed to go back to her room. I couldn't move her away, obviously, as that would constitute physical violence. She's taken my phone before when we fought, so I know she thinks this is normal.
She works from home as well so I can't break up by text while she's at work. I feel it would be cruel to just break up by text after so many years with her. How do I break up with her when she won't let me go?
