To End Relationship Because Partner Blocks Me?

I’ll give as much information as I really need to know if I’m in the wrong.

I have 3 DC. 2 with ExH and one with current DP.

Relationship with DP is only ok as long as things are going his way.

If I ever disagree with him, he either:

a) Completely and utterly ignores me. By this I mean sit in the same room as me and ignores me.

b) If he isn’t home and we disagree (or as soon as he goes out) he blocks on his phone so I can’t communicate with him. Once this was problematic when our DS was hospitalised and I couldn’t get hold of him at all.

This blocking can and will go on for days at a time until I inevitably relent because the atmosphere at home gets vile.

Today, he is at work and has blocked all forms of communication because yet again I disagreed with him this morning over something to do with arrangements for DS’s childcare whilst I work. (DP is very vocal about where DS should be but rarely, if ever steps in to parent his own child)

AIBU to end this relationship as frankly seeing as we are both adults and his toddler strops make for a horrible atmosphere at home and I’m completely done with it. Plus I have DDS and I don’t want them thinking this is acceptable behaviour in relationships. ( Or for DS but he’s quite a bit younger to be honest.)

OP, it's fantastic to hear you're doing so well, congrats Flowers.

Your DB sounds fantastic too (and I can't help hoping that your EX will be still pissed off and ignoring all of you when the end of the month arrives............Grin so your DB can sell all his shit and you get a fantastic weekend break with DSIL Grin)

Dusky pink sounds wonderful (particularly as no doubt Ex would've hated it Grin).

Now you and your DC can enjoy every day knowing that ''the prick'' has no say whatsoever in what you do, what you say, where you go, who you speak to, what you eat....................Oh the sheer joy if it Grin

Men like this are everywhere and it happens all the time.........
An afterthought: What are they actually for?

They are only good for one thing, belinda.

And let's be honest - now there are You-tube tutorials to tell you what to do, you can tile a bathroom yourself.

Well done on getting rid of this massive arsehole. You've done fantastic.

@Tellmetruth4

Well done OP. I must say a broad smile spread across my face when you said you were the main earner and the house was yours. The guy was a fucking idiot.
Yep mine too.

This is one of the best threads ever! You are magnificent OP!! 😀👸 Well done for getting rid of the cunt and getting your life back on track. Amazing 😊

You have given all 3 of your DCs the most valuable gift that will set them up for life - a calm and peaceful home with a focused, happy Mum.

You have removed the hanging stench of a brooding toxic abuser who’s moods they would be hyper-alert to as they waste most of their childhood spirit walking on eggshells 24/7 sensing, absorbing and adapting to his moods.

Now you can all get back to living, playing, lightness and joy.

You are BRILLIANT. You’ve got yourself in an enviably strong, independent situation and got rid of a massive waste of space that was grinding you down. I was annoyed reading your first post - how dare he blank you like a bratty little boy?! Good riddance. He’s lost out here, not you. Onwards and upwards.
