Search Results: how far he can push me away

So I've been with my boyfriend for around 2 years now. The first year or so things were great, only minor arguments and few issues. However for this past year big arguments have been getting more and more common. One argument was over me being friends with a guy I slept with once (but have remained friends with for the last 3 years) and another about him leaving me in town on a night out and me having to walk home alone at 3am in a city. The thing that really pushed me to this point was 2 incidences in public where I've said something he didn't like and he's pinched me in secret.

He is away on holiday at the moment. I called him and said he's pushed me too far, and I can't be in the relationship anymore because I deserve better. The more time passed, and when I spoke to him again I started to regret my decision and feel like I can't cope without him and I want to try and work through the problems and give it one last chance.

I said today that we should have some time apart, not talking, so I can think. He comes home on Tuesday so I have 2 days to decide whether to stay or go and I'm totally stuck. Advice please!

So, it's 5:30am and I'm sort of freaking out. Around 3:30, someone began to ring my doorbell and it wasn't the normal one push "ring"; it was a desperate impatient a couple of times push "ring ring ring ring", etc. I froze, and just let my dog bark crazily. The ringing stopped and turned into pounding. I ended up calling 911 (live in Canada) upon my bf's suggestion because my mom is out of the city and we also moved to this city a year ago.

I called the emergency line five-ish min after they stopped pounding and the police came like... pretty darn quickly. Like within the 5-7 minutes? Anyway, they patrolled and so far I haven't received a call back which is a good sign.

My boyfriend did some research and he thinks I'm being targeted. I can maybe list like... 1 person who may have seen my boyfriend drive away after he dropped me off at my mom's house. But that person is literally... like... 14? 15? 16?

In any case, my boyfriend thinks I should be wary which brings me to this question: ... Should I walk my dog today? I want to, for her happiness, but I don't even know if I have the balls to go outside. Do you think there is a possibility of getting followed? i honestly feel like it was a mistake (some drunk neighbour) but like I said, my boyfriend thinks otherwise.
