Ended a 2+ year relationship with an abusive partner

My boyfriend snapped and pulled a knife on our roommate, I disarmed him and he got arrested. I'm still in shock and terrified, but I know I made the right decision to end the relationship.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had taken his behavior more seriously and set boundaries earlier."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't stay in an abusive relationship, no matter how much you love the person. Your safety and well-being are worth it."
