Hell yes, no shadow of a doubt.

No, I was in an unhappy marriage and groomed by a narcissist.

It didn't end well, but my exh and I weren't happy or good for one another, he was a pretty terrible husband but the grass appeared greener but it definitely wasn't, he was an abusive lunatic.

I asked him to leave, because he is was cheating on me. The grass is greener, although I've not made it into another relationship in the four years since.

Boyfriend 1 - no
Boyfriend 2 - YES
Boyfriend 3 - a little...
Husband- hopefully won't feel the urge to find out

GF #1 First major GF.

No. I was turned back before damage was done. Which was the right but it took me ~10 years to realise it.

bloodywhitecat · 09/04/2023 11:21

Yes. Best 6 years of my life.

Yes

FloydPepper · 09/04/2023 11:28

People will say yes if you mean leaving because you’re unhappy, and no if you mean leaving for someone else.

TheShade · 09/04/2023 11:36

The context matters - affair/cheating? Leaving a dead or bad relationship for a single life?

Redebs · 09/04/2023 11:37

n/a
I stayed

Georgyporky · 09/04/2023 11:38

Yes - for a single life

CrunchyCarrot · 09/04/2023 11:38

MixedFeeling · 09/04/2023 11:40

If you’ve got to this point then it’s over anyway.

MintyCedric · 09/04/2023 11:58

Yes…despite the seven years since being shite in all manner of other ways.

Oopsiedaisyy · 09/04/2023 12:00

God yes

ShagratandGorbag4ever · 09/04/2023 12:03

I realised I was not colourblind after all.

firsttimemum1230 · 09/04/2023 12:06

In your job, relationship? Friendship? Like what?

firsttimemum1230 · 09/04/2023 12:10

I’d say yes, I’m a mum of one. The dad is an abusive narc who is non stop moody horrible and his expectations are too high and non stop changing. I know me and my child are happier day to day without him. I also see his other ex who has 2 children with him at her happiest. Finally getting support as she gets 0 from him. It truthfully depends abusive or not cause I believe 9/10 if not abusive if you water it it can be greener.
