we have 2ds together. being together for 12 years. for the past 10 years our relationship has become rocky and we started drifting apart. since he rented a takeaway 8years ago he would come home once a week. i have felt quite unhappy and insecure with him for a long time. so on new years eve i told him how i felt and it just isn't working. he took the kids to where he works for a week now and their dad will bring them home tonight. i hope I've made the right choice because our relationship has been on and off. i think the problem is that we don't support /respect each other and i feel like im bringing the kids up myself. he would go on holiday once a year/every 2 years to China. i have no say in how he spends his money because he worked for it. He used to compare me with his ex in China and reminded me how useless and ugly i am. he relized i was hurt but now and again he will let me know that no-one will want me,except him because im so ugly. but then he would add that looks to him isn't as important as personality. he always manages to make me feel insecure and bad about myself. he accussed me of sleeping with other men because im just tired and sometimes i don't want to make love to him. maybe this time it will be a clean break tor us. he already told my eldest son 10 that his dad won't be seeing him anymore but he bought them each an i-pad and my son is confused. my d1s just told me he can use facetime to keep in touch with his dad.

It sounds like that was a good move.

Good decision. Jealous, petty, insulting, selfish men make very unpleasant pets... Hmm

i think im strong enough this time to move on and concentrate on the dc as always. i feel more tensed when he was around because he would critisized most things i did from the way i look to the food i cook. i feel more relaxed and myself when he's not around. but i still miss him though!

Sounds like you're making the right decision for 2014.

no life for you and your children, listening to that abuse.

Good for you. Good decision. Xx

Have a rotten, aching tooth removed and for a few weeks you're conscious that there's a gap where it used to be. Doesn't mean you want the nasty bastard back.

Goodness sweetie, what a horrible man.
Well done to you for having the strength to get rid.
