I don't understand why the police can't help you. Of course I don't know the laws in the United Kingdom, but I would guess that you could at least press charges for vandalism, if they threw a brick through your window and assault if your boyfriend was physicially attacked. I hope your family just gives up and leaves you alone. Good luck and take care. I'll never understand why people can't just respect another persons choices. If you choose to be with him and he is not abusing you, than they should respect that.

It's been 2 months since you posted this discussion. I hope that things are going better for you where your family are concerned. I don't understand people who act like this. Even if they think you are wrong with being with the person you are with, two wrongs don't make a right! This is a saying I use with my daughters often.

I agree with sunlover. Do you consider moving to other places. Really far from them? This is really scary. We do not know what will happen next. Have you talked to them recently? If I were in your shoes I will communicate with them personally. You have to know why they are they doing these to you. You have to explain to them the situation and everything. If you have close friends you can ask help from them, just so they know what is going on, so that if something happens they know what to do. Do not show them that you are scared of what they are doing to you. The more you suffer , the more they rejoice. Because they want you to see you in pain and sorry for what you have done. For now, be strong. If your husband can find someone who can accompany him, like an officemate,a friend when walking alone, he may do so. But the decision is still yours. I hope everything will be fine soon.
