Hi ! I'm am 19 years old and I have been in a relationship with a lovely guy for 3 years. Our relationship has had its up and downs like anyone else. On Monday we had a fight, he shouted at me telling me something he bought me didn't belong to me so I threw it on the ground, he grabbed me put my arm behind my back pushed me onto the bed and put his arm on my neck to hold me down. I slapped him once to get him off and he picked up a wire from a phone charger and whipped me with it. He tried to hit me in the face but I blocked with my hand. My hand was very badly marked and my body was bruised and scatched from him. I went imediatly to the police station reported it. The police man was very nice and took photos of my injuries and said he would give me 3 days before j decide to press charges As it was very out of my boyfriends character. tomorrow is day 3 and he has made no attempt to show remorse or text / call to apologise. I want to press charges but I'm not a horrible person I don't want to ruin his future. What should I do ?

If I were in your position I would most likely press charges not only for my own good, but to make sure he doesn't do that to anyone else. You may still have feelings for him and feel bad for doing so but I can tell you this in the relationship I am in right now my boyfriend has horrible anger issues. He doesn't beat me but the moment he ever was to lay a hand or object on me I would do everything I possibly could to make sure that didn't happen to some innocent girl. I am a very caring and whole hearted person I just take that very seriously.
I'm 18 and have been in a relationship for 3 years. My bf and I fight like an old married couple. I can certainly tell you that that is no way for a guy to treat their girlfriend (or anyone). Pushing you on the bed may have been a hot-headed impulse reaction but the phone wire took it way too far.
I pressed charges on my own father for similar reasons and after 7 months he came back a changed person (with a bit of work).
I have no idea what's going through your guy's head but contacting the police was a good idea.
Whatever you decided to do, I hope everything is going well for you ♡
This is a little late to the time limit, but you should press charges. Even if you don't hold a grudge, it's better to know that he won't hurt another person. If you are holding a grudge, however, you could get a restraining order so he couldn't hurt you any more. Don't let this affect your life too much. You have a life ahead of you, so live it well
Press charges! A man that can hit a woman like that and has no remorse is a man that will continue to hit woman until he is stopped this is your chance to put a end to it. If you just let it go he will continue and it could escalate to something much worse even if you leave him he has another chance to find another victim to hit on. I’d stop him this instant. There have been many incidents where I witnessed arguments that are really bad and the man never put his hands on his woman because he has control over himself. That is not healthy at all. Get out and press charges.
