I've packed up his stuff! Last straw! Short!
(128 Posts)The absolute last straw* is that, since being paid plus getting £600 bonus on 24/12, I have £75 left in my account! The cocklodging bastard is GONE TODAY. I'm going to meet him at station and hand over stuff then meet my best friend (who I am not allowed to see!) for £74.99 worth of booze and slagging him off.
What the actual fuck have I been doing?? 2013 starts here 
* so so so many last staws 
including 'peeling potatoes is boring' on Xmas day!! I spent boxing day writing a variation on this post in my head. Plus, for full disclosure, I took him back after he whacked me 
Utter madness 
Thanks
Isn't it amazing the things we not only put up with, but think we ought to keep putting up with, even hate ourselves for failing to accept, right up till the day the little light bulb goes "ping!" And then after that it's all "Wtf was I THINKING?"
One of the great healing moments was when I remembered some dreadful things XH had done or said years ago (later denied, of course), and realised that I don't have to even try to forgive him any more. I can seethe and resent as much as I like! And then forget it because it's water under the bridge, not because I have to try to pretend it never happened. It did happen, but it's history. And so is he. 
He doesn't have a key! I'd not entirely lost the plot, thank god
I tried keeping a journal of our relationship because I forgot things from one moment to the next (I know I'm not alone in this). He was ignoring me before Xmas but I can't recall why (whatever spurious reason he made up) and then we had Xmas together. What? What happened between 22/11 and 24/12??? I have NO IDEA.
Aaaah. What a relief. I will feel v cold in bed but that's life, eh?
Ugh, he's not replied to text though. Hmm.
Bed socks
Nice one op - happy 2013 & congratulations.
Good for you. A great way to start the year.
I would rather be cold in bed than share it with an arse.
He's going to be so shocked. He's been soooo happy, little Knowing that I hadn't given in at all! I've actually been plotting!
Sorry for exclamation marks. I feel a bit sick so faking it
Thank you all 
I'm working from home so packed his crap (sadly, too heavy for me to carry so will have to put his fucking Timberlands in a rucksack) and stripped the bed, turned the mattress and put linen on 'boil'. His feet, sisters, his feet.
No reply to my text but a witheld call which was either him or work, but work would have called back. I'll have to send another text later to say 'meet me or I'll leave your stuff at tube station'.
La la la!
The warm rubbery smell reminds me of my grandmother
Wish I could afford one... 
I'm pretty decent and not prone to grand statements anymore. Plus it would be a waste of the silver technology anti-stink M&S socks I got him from Christmas
Oh, I dunno. I could, I suppose
Just chuck it outside. Thats what I did with my ex's. Felt good
Hope the meet goes well hun be careful and don't go anywhere private with him just incase he gets agressive again
Congrats on your newfound freedom
Do you have reciepts for any of the stuff you got him? Take items back to the shops then get yourself down pub
Can we all come along, too?
Which station and what time?
We can all turn up in our viperish glory
Teehee! It's at a very busy east London station - plenty of people around and several lines for me to choose from. I'm going STRAIGHT to the pub to meet my friend! I don't imagine he will follow me or make a fuss, except for his patented face-like-thunder. So so handsome, such a waste of a physically beautiful man.
They are really nice socks too but all been worn... and washed BY ME! Why oh why oh why I just did MY washing up in MY house for MY CONVENIENCE. Honestly, all those who say being treated like a slave is a massive turn-off are 100% correct. And once he became no use to me in the bedroom that was the 2nd to last straw . Big haystack of straws instead of elephants in the room...
Sorry for stream of consciousness posting - I'm home alone and it's all coming out here
Such a pity that you didn't find any UN-washed socks, then you could have included them with any washed clothing so it all gets smelly .
I do hope that you crumple up anything that's been ironed......
Well done OP, you sound great Enjoy your afternoon. x
Cheers all!
I'm laughing at his "patented face-like-thunder" - have a wonderful evening with your mate, and a wonderful cocklodger-less 2013 .
I wanted to add my well done. Keep that determination with you. Have a good time tonight.
Not gone yet - couple of hours. I'm halfway through making myself look gorgeous. I want to be early so I can sneak up a different tunnel as he's a master of merging into the background - I'm sure I've read about that on here as well
Not sure it's great form to link to another post but I do feel very much like this poster But, to be honest, the repetitiveness of the whole thing has put me off him and I reckon I'll survive.
We--eeeee are never, ever, ever getting back together! Thank god for ripping off niece's Now 83 
Well, hope it goes smoothly.
could do with you on another thread. Woman there with a man who dictates who she can and cannot see
I dealt with that by consistently lying, thanks for asking Seeing women friends was fine but men, no. My gay best friend - certainly not. Male boss was unavoidable but DB was in question. Yes, really. Another straw in the haystack.
He's from the kind of culture where it was expected and accepted that he picked his sister's husband. Yes, I know That info probably makes this less easy to relate to but, fuck it. I am positively giddy here
tzella You have made the right decision. I'm not a million miles away 
and sending positive vibes for tonight. The info. is easy for me to relate to . Enjoy your evening out x
Well done!
You might see if you can get someone to hang around in the background just in case - although with such a busy station you should be fine if you can't.
Let us know how it goes.
I'm on the tube now Live action dumping of great justice? 
Can we have his patented face on webcam?
Does this mean I'll never have to peer down my specs at you again?
Good luck
Woohoo go OP... wishing lots of happiness for 2013
Your brother!!??!! I've heard it all now. Unbelievable.
Well done OP. Hope it goes to plan
Cheering you on.....Good luck,hope everything goes well.
Well. That was an anti-climax, sorry! I was early and he texted to say he was waiting in our FAVOURITE PUB. So I had to carry his stinking bag full of (my) clean socks two minutes further up the road. He was in the garden so I placed the bag on the bench and... left. Did think I might say "It is about the money, honey" but didn't bother. He's never going to change. I've sat in my own house in the cold because he wouldn't contribute to heating bills and I'd rather wear two jumpers than give him the pleasure of sitting about in nothing but his boxers at my expense. That was another straw, as you can imagine.
I'm on another tube now. Going to be early for a much better date
Another one cheering you on
Have a great night tonight
Wait.. Did he not see you? Did you just chuck his stuff on a bench? Lol!!!
What he say? Look gutted?
Have a great night, well done
Hey, anti-climax is good !
Well done to you, and Happy New Year 2013 
Have a great evening with your friend !
There was really no point in saying anything, I don't think. Why should I be the reasonable one all the time? Fuck him.
I've made this sound very easy, perhaps too easy I'm 38. He loved me, in his way, very much and i put up with a lot in good humour and I'm gutted I'm back to square one but if you cost me money; god help you.
Yay to freedom from cocklodgers! Took me 20 years and more, plus the power of mn, but 2012 was the year I got rid of mine, I was 59 at the time
You have made my day OP. If DP ever becomes close to that cocklodging moneygrabbing selfish pig of a man I shall be looking back on this thread for inspiration
And it's his controlling behaviour that was his worst feature IMHO - not letting you see your best friend was bad It was only ever going to get worse.
Stay strong ! Be happy
Good morning. Sincere thanks to you all for being so supportive and funny
Just to sate any curiosity; he didn't say anything at all! He was in the middle of taking a sip of ale and just in that moment there was a beat and I was able to dump the bag, turn on my heel and go straight out of the door. He's not called or texted and going on past form I doubt he will. It's always been me trying to entice him back, and he's been happy to come but not this time!
I had a good time with my friend! Sat in the freezing cold outside a pub by the river and I have a small hangover this morning. Had a tiny cry an hour ago when I saw stuff in the fridge (?!) but don't feel as bereft as I did the other 6 times we've broken up... yet, anyway.
The bed was cold.
Today I have to think very hard about getting a loan from the bank. I've never been in 'official' debt in my life and I really don't want to be but have to get back on track somehow. That fuckwit I'm a fuckwit!
Oh well. Onwards and upwards Thanks again
Hi tzella i'm so glad you have rid him from your life. You will be much better without him. Yes there will be days when you feel a bit lonely, but i would rather be a bit lonely than be taken for granted and treat like shit.
A hit water bottle is fairly inexpensive, and it keeps you warm without pissing you off
Its time to focus on you, put yourself first. This is what 2013 is for. That is my plan, and i have felt happier in the past 2 days than i have for a very long time. Nothing exciting has happened, but i have decided the i am worth it and i do deserve to be happy
Good luck with everything
Oh no! Maybe a super-retro hot bottle but not a blanket! This maybe
puds Thank you. You're 100% right and it's lovely to hear from someone else feeling free and themselves again
This year I need to give up smoking and do some personal development. All I do is eat, sleep, go to work and drink. Need to feed my brain a bit more.
Personal development is my focus this year too
I have decided that i cannot have a healthy relationship with a man until i have a healthy relationship with myself.
Yes! Exactly! And I look at myself and think "Golly, you're a bit fat and you smoke and you don't really do anything interesting anymore." I wouldn't want to go out with me
Luckily they are easily fixed, unlike your Ex who has a shite personality
Finally heard from him - a text asking to see me which I deleted and a voicemail saying he has nowhere to go laid it on thick about being homeless and sleeping in the street I know this sounds especially shocking but don't be fooled! My heart jumped into my throat because I was almost fooled too! But it's bull. It's the sort of thing he says because he doesn't understand that... He doesn't believe that... Basically, he thinks I'm stupid. Besides, his uncle lives in west London, his cousin in north London and besides all THAT he gets paid in a wodge of fifty pound notes.
Just had to post this here to keep me honest Plus, im at home tonight because i xant afford to go out so im bored. My heart/chest muscle literally twitched and now hurts a bit. A physical sensation of what, I don't know.
Keep strong OP, you know it's just his BS! Plus his accomodation / cocklodging problems are his now, not yours. You deserve better.
Just party here honey - and check out AIBU. A Friday night bumsex thread is the hottest ticket in town
Keep up the good work. It's bound to make you jump, you've probably been subconsciously waiting for it..
My exH used to say stuff like he'd be out on the street, but funnily enough, he'd always find somewhere
Thanks all
His feet became our little snoogly-woogly jokey-wokey I'd never have bought socks for him or anyone for Xmas otherwise
Just a quick update; I had used the bank's own smart phone app to check my bank balance just prior (like, 11am on 2/1) to making this decision (to bin bf) but apparently it the app hadn't updated my balance correctly. So, I'm back at work today and I checked it online............................. and it turns out I have tons of available balance 
So! A double win! Got rid of the awful scumbag plus I'm rich!!!!
Hi Frizz I never entirely trusted him and he's got no access to my home, money or heart
It's so over. I feel completely different to the (many) other times we broke up. I feel nothing
Thanks for the reminder though Have a brilliant 2013 yourself.
At least you know it wasn't just too much turkey or nut roast now
Oh god and all the booze and fags
Where do I post to talk about this and what the hell to do? Not in Pregnancy??
I'll look at bpas, thank you.
