Asked in Alameda, CA on December 5, 2025 Last answered on April 6, 2026My bf of 7 yrs in Alameda bent my glasses, slapped me 4,5 times in my face, pulled my hair out extremely hard, scratched my leg leaving red marks, dumped a bottle of water on my head and called the cops on me. He’s been emotionally abusive, also calling me a cheapskate mooch, crazy psycho b****, evil monster, not sexy, curvy, or hot enough. Police gave me an emergency protective order. I have a house with his name on it, but we aren’t married. Now he wants half of my house.

You can, and should, and hopefully already have, filed for a Domestic Violence Restraining Order against your boyfriend. Most courthouses have a self-help center that helps you navigate the process (mostly by filling out forms). They cannot give legal advice; for that, you need a lawyer.
