May Thomson, 45, lived in fear of her life as insecure Temple flew into jealous rages when she showed off her 32E breast implants.During their three years together, Temple broke her nose, threatened her with a knife, held her by the throat and punched her on her breasts.
He threw a kitchen chair at her when she came down stairs wearing shorts and a vest top, the Daily Record reports.
“I wasn't allowed to wear anything like that,He had me in polo necks.”Thomson, who has two daughters and lives in Port Seton, East Lothian, already had the £5,000 implants when she met Temple. They got together after she had escaped from another abusive relationship.
“He came across as caring and romantic. I saw him as protection because I knew he could fight.”Two months in and Temple's controlling, violent side began to show. He would throw her on the floor and stand over her, spitting in her face. Any kind of attention from other men, or comments on her appearance or figure, would spark another attack.
Thomson was knocked unconscious when Temple threw her against a table in a drunken rage. She was treated for bruising at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
“He was out of his face. He started asking, what were you doing when you weren't with me? I told that shouldn't matter. He grabbed me by the hair and started beating my head. He butted me. Next thing I knew, I woke up on the floor.”In another incident he held her captive and refused to let her leave the house.
“He wouldn't let me out. I got battered senseless until I escaped in my pyjamas.” Thomson needed plastic surgery on the injuries to her face.When she found a hose pipe, duct tape a plastic bottle and a Stanley knife the boot of his car, she became convinced he was trying to kill her.
The relationship finally ended when Temple attacked Thomson's dog Zero, for eating his chicken fajitas.
“I thought, you're going to really hurt me now. You've done that to my animal.”
Sheriff Peter Braid described the case as “a particularly nasty instance of domestic abuse” and jailed him for 13 months.
Temple is banned from going near Thomson for five years.
