Simply put, my girlfriend will not let me end our relationship… if I say, “I am done, you crossed my boundaries, I cannot continue in a relationship that I know is going to lead to failure…”, she simply says she is not leaving. She tells me to call the police, threatens with telling the police that I harmed her (which I have never done!). She is violent, aggressive, I feel controlled… she explodes at the slightest remark, action, or anything she can construe to treat me as though I am intentionally trying to hurt her. I am perceived as the source and cause of all problems!! It’s simply unmanageable, regardless of “hope” or “love”, or anything else that I now see as my personal delusion. And so I try to end things, always met with failure… lecturing… blame… threats… and outright refusal to leave. I feel abused! I feel trapped. I am not allowed to drink a beer, to do television interviews, to hang out with friends, or to even make up my own mind about anything… and if she does get mad enough to leave me then she returns begging, sensual, manipulating me back into submission. Last night I again told her, “I am done, I am exhausted, we are over…”. She asked me to pretend for one more night, she seduced me… she will not allow me to make any decisions once she feels like I have consented in the smallest way. I cannot make her understand! I am trapped… read my other questions for more detailed info…. How can I get my life back?
I'm so sorry you're struggling with this.
You are being abused and she is pulling all the usual cards abusers to do try to keep you controlled and isolated.
First, try to get yourself some allies she doesn't know about. A therapist would be fantastic as you'll need their support.
Call the police non-emergency line and let them know of your situation. Ask if they have resources for victims of domestic abuse. See if you live in a place where one-party consent recordings are legal. Then, record her threats to call police and threaten to false report.
Start doing what you can while staying safe to gather the resources you need to move out. There's unfortunately not many shelters for male victims of domestic abuse, but you may have resources in your city.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You don't deserve to be treated like she's treating you.
I hope you can get away from her safely.

Congratulations on winning a Troll of the day award.
Well, if you harmed her other than her, just saying that then you were in big shit, but if you didn’t do anything other than you’re annoyed, and no longer want to be with her, then you should have no problem talking to the police. It sounds like a very toxic relationship. I would get out and don’t look back either for you and for her.
Throw her the hell out, with the help of the police or not. You should record some of her antics, in case she tries to do you in.
