To end the relationship

[9millioncansofbeans]

Morning all,

Firstly, I know I can end a relationship over anything.
Secondly, it’s a complicated relationship. We used to date for about 6 months then we broke up. This was two years ago. We’ve stayed close but never got back together as the issues between us are still there.

Anyway, he doesn’t believe covid-19 exists and he does not believe it can be transmitted in the way were being told. He thinks it’s all a conspiracy to remove our human rights. So he is carrying on as normal. On top of everything and all the issues between hd this just feels like the icing on the cake.

Am I unreasonable to have lost any respect for him over this? When we argue over it he says I’m small minded for just believing a government who lies all the time. I’m a nurse and I’m losing colleagues to this virus and his stupidity feels on another level.

Just dump him OP he sounds like a complete cretin and it doesn't sound as if your relationship has been very sucessful to date anyway. Fly away and be free from this idiot.

Listen to yourself: he is a nice person, if you exclude all the extremely bad behaviour. That's messed up thinking on your part.

Your message to him does not actually say you are breaking off contact. You need a sentence in there of "I do not want any more contact with you. I will not message you again."

**No vaccine for stupid

That poster sums it up nicely

“I just can’t get passed the fact that you do not believe covid-19 is real and that is a barrier for me to have you as a friend. I genuinely wish you well”

That's a very good way of summing it up. This man has a friend who is risking her life every day to care for COVID-19 patients and he's claiming that this condition doesn't exist?? How unpleasant.

Sorry all I thought I had said - after writing he is nice I realised it’s not enough and he’s probably not nice it’s just how I am seeing him be nice to be at certain times.

The aggression and weed use were by biggest issues for breaking up. And now covid is just the icing on the cake. I feel like it’s completely disrespectful of my profession and my colleagues who are losing lives and loved ones. easy for him to say it’s not real when he’s sat at home smoking 4 joints a day with no responsibilities for helping the country recover.
For now I’m going to focus on my interview.

Cut all ties he sounds like an absolute twat

You need to grow some self esteem lovely. The way he treated you in the relationship was dreadful and you've continued to put yourself through it for 2 years !! Since that ended. Were you sleeping together in that 2 years?

Good luck in your interview. It's the start of a new chapter!

Thanks all! I didn’t get the job but I did tell him we’re done.

* Sorry about the job, there will* be a better one just round the corner for you. 😀

I have been a fool to try and be friends.

Don't beat yourself up about it. There is a strong chance that he spotted your kindness and decency and homed in on it.

Try and recognise the compliment without being suckered in.

Well done. Soon you'll feel the weight lifted and realise it is because you no longer have to deal with his paranoia on a daily basis

He's an idiot. Don't waste you time. Block and get on with your life.

Thanks all. I told him Thursday . I had to tell him again Friday. And again Saturday and then just ignored his messages. Today I blocked him.

I feel amazingly relieved and relaxed already. All he ever did was make life stressful. I didn’t realise how much!

Why on earth would anyone want any type of relationship with a looney tune who believes in conspiracy theories. Cut all contact. He is unhinged
