I just need a picture of the green hot stick laying in the floor. I know strange ask. I have an extremely possessive husband and I told him I was going to work but I just went out with a friend for lunch instead for a break away from him. now he's asking for a picture of the hot cup stick laying in the floor

This seems like a potentially dangerous situation with your husband. I hope he isn't hurting you. I'm not at work so I can't take the picture, but it seems like you need help, or to get away from him. You ok?
Some_Vegetable_6479 119 points 7m ago
he's not abusive just really possessive but divorce is in the works before it gets to that point. thanks for asking if I'm okay.
Markedsoultheif 54 points 7m ago
Did you get the picture? Because I will stop my break right now for this
Some_Vegetable_6479 47 points 7m ago
yes thank you!

Yikes if you still need the picture I am at work but my store is out of stoppers 👀

Honestly, sounds like you need couple’s therapy more than enlisting starbie staff or custies to meddle in your relationship.
peachyqween11 136 points 7m ago
No she doesn't need couples therapy. She needs a divorce and a protective order.
Few_Jacket_3004 63 points 7m ago
Thank you. Therapy will not fix abuse.
sp00kygiirl 24 points 7m ago
she needs a divorce, which she said is in the works. if a simple picture is going to keep her safe i don’t see a problem with it. i was in her position, therapy won’t do anything.
Some_Vegetable_6479 151 points 7m ago
I'm working on a divorce but I have to keep myself safe until I have everything in order to leave very soon.
peachyqween11 52 points 7m ago
OP, my dm's are open if you need help or resources. I have been through escaping an abusive relationship & divorce. Here for you
Firm_Friendship_9148 21 points 7m ago
My dms are also open if you need any resources!! I’ve been in situations like this where I am very thankful to be alive and well. I’m also here for you! We all are
Some_Vegetable_6479 58 points 7m ago

hey, it’s been a few hours. are you safe?
Some_Vegetable_6479 123 points 7m ago
yes, I'm fine I got the picture. There's no abuse just possessiveness and I know abuse will come if I don't leave soon. So divorce is in the works, just have to make another $200 for the deposit and first month's rent on an apartment. I've been planning to leave for 3 months now.
badatlife15 37 points 7m ago
I mean this in the kindest way, but emotional abuse is abuse and it’s ok to say so, but i do recognize everyone processes what’s occurring to them differently and I’m only seeing a very small glimpse of the picture. But I’m so glad you’re safe and working on a way out. /gen
Administrative_Bee40 49 points 7m ago
Stoppers! Unfortunately im not at work rn, but hope that helps!

OP, please look into applying for a grant from the cup fund! The information is available on Partner Hub, but grants can be awarded for various things including "domestic violence or other risks to your physical safety."

How long do you have until he starts to get suspicious? If anything google a picture!
Some_Vegetable_6479 14 points 7m ago
thank you.

Hey im sorry im not at work so i dont have any of those green sticks near me but i kno u said in the comments that ur husband is asking for a picture of it cuz hes possessive and u had told him ur going out with a friend but u were just trying to get away from him. I find it very weird that he not only wants u to send a picture of that green stick but on the ground? And also what if u got a drink that doesnt require one of those green sticks? He seems like he has some personal issues and im glad to kno that a divorce is in the works. Please stay safe and DM me if u ever need!

Edit: im sorry, i mixed up the two. U told him ur goin to work but went out with friends instead so now hes asking u to send a pic of the stopper to prove ur at work. Is that correct? Thats scary and im sorry ur going thru that! ❤️
Some_Vegetable_6479 8 points 7m ago
yes trying to find a way out tonight while he's at work

Do you have family you can turn to?
Some_Vegetable_6479 4 points 7m ago
no if I did I would have been out a long time ago.
kittykattt3 4 points 7m ago
I’m sorry :( I figured that was the case. You’ve got all of us backing you though!
Helpful_Hour_2195 2 points 7m ago
I don't know where you live, but most cities have emergency shelters for domestic abuse. Abuse isn't just physical 😞

Hey OP, I know it's unlikely as you've already taken care of this current scenario but if you need another, I'll be at work for the next 6 hours.
We got you.
kittykattt3 5 points 7m ago

Please leave that man. Rooting for you
Some_Vegetable_6479 2 points 7m ago
Hi everyone I'm still alive. I really don't want to do this but I feel like this is my only chance to escape without being hurt. I'm $40 short on a hotel room (between me and my friends scraping together every penny we could)and could really use some help if anyone can help me I can pay back double on payday.
holldizzle024 2 points 7m ago
hey it’s been 4 hours since you last commented, still doing okay?

An-Unnamed-Star 1 points 7m ago
Do you need any more pictures? I go in at 1 and can take multiples for you. If I had a place I'd offer it but I don't, if you need anyone to talk to though don't hesitate to reach out
