We're watching a movie, and my phone buzzes.
OH: "Who's that?"
Me: "Nobody - TikTok"
OH: "No, it was Whatsapp".
Me: "I don't have a notification from WA"
OH: "It was from Charlotte.."
Me: "Look scrolls through phone to show him, I don't have one."
OH: "I just saw it…"
Me: ".…"
OH: "Why are you being so defensive?"
Me: ".…"

We picked a film, that OH hadn't seen but I had.
After it had finished, I asked OHto put the TV on, as it was still sitting on Chomecast Homepage.
We were chatting for a little bit about my hair and I'm ask if we can put something on (as he'd put the footy on).
OH: "We just watched something you wanted to watch" …
End up getting into a row, so I saw I'm going to watch TV upstairs.
When I come out the loo upstairs, he's in bed.
Me: "are you watching TV up here?"
OH: "no"
Me: "ok.. I'm going to go downstairs"
OH: "don't you even want to be near me?"
Me: "Can't you accept my boundaries?"
OH: "So is that a no?"
Me: "No, I want to but I want some space."
OH: "So, you don't want to be around me… right now?"
Me: "No."

Start working out whose house is it who needs to move out how to separate utilities is there any joint debts im assuming no children?

LittleOwl153 · 15/05/2021 09:55

Practicalities- what's the housing situation?
I assume there are no kids as none mentioned?
Assume you are not married?
Any significant joint assets?

If you've had enough the first thing to do is accept that and then work out the best way to move forward.

Plenty here will help with the details if needed.

If he's constantly questioning and doubting you yanbu.
This would drive me potty.
He asked about the notification there was no reason to doubt you.

It sounds like you don’t get on and you need to end it

Nanny0gg · 15/05/2021 10:38

Have you somewhere you can move to?
Organise that, then tell him

ChristmasFluff · 15/05/2021 11:17

Just tell him, 'look, both of us are unhappy in this relationship, and I want us to split up.' Then get into the practicalities of it.

Or carry on being unhappy, until eventually he ends it, or you do, or one or other of you dies. Up to you.

@Whatsthescoop

Ring your mum or dad , tell them you're ready to be picked up & ignore him at school on Monday
