He Gets Aggressive

Walking on Eggshells

My fiance just gets outright aggressive. Nothing in particular has to be happen now I've tried 3 times to be on the road with him.

I'm constantly on egg shells. So I told him I don't want to do it anymore. He said either I travel with him or its over.

I love him but don't think that's fair. What should I do?

Starting Fresh
by: Anonymous

I left. I kept this much more silent than I am now. This was an abusive relationship. I was hit, had things thrown at me, hit with whatever was convenient, threatened, choked, screamed at, called names and accused constantly of doing things I wasnt. I want to go public with this. To make people aware that being in a tractor trailer, being abused, goes unnoticed. I could go on and on. But, the update is I'm starting fresh.

“Love Shouldn’t Come With Ultimatums”
by: Hervy

First off, thank you for being brave enough to share this. It sounds like you’re carrying a lot right now — trying to balance your love for your fiancé with your own peace of mind.

From what you’ve described, the situation isn’t about travel, it’s about control and respect. When someone makes love conditional — "either you do this or it’s over" — that’s not partnership, that’s an ultimatum. And you deserve a relationship where your safety, peace, and voice matter just as much as his.

Being "on eggshells" is a sign your spirit already knows this isn’t healthy. Love should feel safe, supportive, and like teamwork — not like you’re under pressure to constantly prove yourself.

You can love someone and still choose not to accept behavior that harms you. If he can’t respect your boundaries, that’s not your failure. That’s his choice.

My encouragement? Honor your peace. Communicate clearly once more, and if nothing changes, give yourself permission to walk away with love for yourself intact.

Because real love doesn’t demand ultimatums — it builds bridges.
