Several years ago now, probably 2018ish, I posted under AIBU regarding some very strong views my partner had that were starting to impact our 4 year relationship. The thread had over 600 replies (and was picked up by the daily fail
) but all of you were totally equivocally in favour of me walking away.
You gave me the strength to do so and I reflected long and hard before posting but in hindsight I'm so grateful I did.
Today, I put up the Christmas tree with my new partner who I met last year. Our relationship has been totally different to my last; we communicate, we share views and can agree to disagree with no issue, we work as a team and we love each other just so very much and are so happy. One of the reasons I left my last relationship was our differing views meant I couldn't really see myself having children with him. This time around we have talked so much more about the future and I am looking forward to it all so much.
So thanks to you all! You all supported me when I needed it and I am so eternally grateful
merry Christmas to you all and to those of you who think you know you need to leave but haven't yet figured out how to, best of luck, the best is yet to come x
