Is this abuse o.O

My boyfriend & I were arguing yesterday because he basically refused, as always, to let me leave the house without him. He acted out all day long, picking at me until I decided to cancel my plans. He still picked at me all day- he was really heated about me wanting to go out.
His friend was over so I didn't want to make a huge deal and let things escalate so I went to take a shower. He opened the door & started saying I was just going to lock him out for hours & not talk things out...

At some point after the shower he still was argumentative towards me, I called him an smurf and he put both hands on my belly and started pressing down several times it wasn't extremely forceful, but with the area being so tender and sensitive it hurt.
I yelled out what in the hell are you doing?! And he replied with being an smurf.

I have no idea what to think at this point, let alone know what to do.

I would leave. You're pregnant and that is uncalled for. He's being controlling.

He's smurfing retarded. He should never put his hands on you, ever. To do so, on your stomach while pregnant, uh no... he'd be gone, like instantly.

Are you pregnant? That sounds abusive and controlling and if I were you I would run.

after he did that to me I'd be kicking his ass out. He sounds like a brat. How old is he? If he did that to you because of an argument, what the hell do you think he's going to do when something serious comes up? Like the baby crying in the middle of the night or something? Sounds like a real winner

He should never put his hands on you unless it's in a loving manner or you want it.

He sounds super controlling as well.

erm wtf. If he was pushing your pregnant belly in a non-loving way that was enough to make you hurt, then you need to get away from him.
If you need to tred on eggshells there are problems
If you aren't allowed to do things there are problems

What was his intentions behind putting his hands on your bump?

I'm not sure how you're even wondering if that's abuse or not.... you just need to leave...like, now.

Mental abuse yes, and showing signs of physical abuse for sure. As a person on the outside its obvious...is it to you?

Yes it is abuse. You should never feel like you cant leave your own house. I have left an abusive relationship before, please feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to. *hugs*

Leave. It will only get worse. He is controlling and abusive. You dont deserve it. And neither does your child.

seriously!

Placing his hands on you in any aggressive way is abusive. Him not "allowing" you to leave with out him is abusive. I could go on.....

Leave now. It won't get better, regardless of what he says. If he is going to try to harm you and your unborn child, how can you trust your child with him?

LEAVE! Now! The way he treated you shows his character, he has a controlling demeanor and that always leads to physical and mental abuse.



Eta: leave for the sake and safety of your unborn child

If my SO ever put his hands on my stomach in a threatening way while I was pregnant I would be gone sooo fast. I would be worried about him actually hurting my unborn baby if I made him really mad... It worries me a lot that your belly is the first place he went for.
