Final Nail

What was the final nail in the coffin for your relationship? The moment you realised it was beyond saving?

I have just had mine. Mentioned some upcoming dates that I would be working away (15-20th), and 'D'P said we'd need to find a dog sitter as he's booked tickets to a festival with his brother from 12-16th.

It's my birthday on 13th and we've already bought tickets to a gig (his choice). He didn't even realise. Once I pointed it out, he shrugged and said it didn't matter as we could sell the tickets and celebrate my birthday anytime.

That does sound final, he really doesn't give a shit does he!

Mine was finding out my exH had routinely cheated on me throughout our relationship. Basically anytime he was out in a club not near our hometown or away with mates and there were plenty of golf trips, football trips and stag parties when he'd just get off with someone. It wasn't always sex just having a snog and a grope but I'd have dumped him then if I'd known.

What a f-er! Does he know the final nail has been hammered yet?

I'm sorry you wasted your time with this selfish loser.

My final nail was being accused of sending kisses to a man in a message. There were no kisses and I was just replying to ask who it was 🤣🙄😤🤦‍♀️

Yep, it's the total apathy at a dead end road that drives the last nail in. I hope you're ok.

I'm ok, thank you @CeceliaImrie. Going to take the dog for a walk (it's sunny here this morning), then meet a very good friend for lunch.

I think it was my own reaction that made me realise it's over. I wasn't surprised at all. His selfishness and lack of care for me has become much more noticeable since he retired last year. I feel sad but resigned to it I think.
