Namechanged in case any of this outs me but something I had to do today brought back loads of memories of my abusive exH, some that are very deep 'kind-of healed' wounds but some that seem like silly little things but things that I never got to have a go at him for and never told anyone in RL as I didn't want the pitying looks. I'd still like to be able to talk about them somewhere though and get it out into the virtual open, maybe even have a laugh about it if I can so going to do that here.
Anyone else is more than welcome to chip in with tales of the idiot they've left (or even if you haven't if you want to!), I hope nobody finds me starting the thread too triggering/offensive.
1 - When I left, leaving virtually all of mine and baby ds's worldly goods behind but taking what I thought was a restrained 50% of the cash in our current account (which was not a lot at all) to support us he emailed that he thought I was unreasonable as he didn't understand why I'd 'drained' the account as he couldn't see what I'd need it for. 'Dear' ExH, shall I write you a list? Nappies, food, shelter, bills, any of that ringing any bells? Considering you haven't paid any maintenance for 6 years I assume you're still confused and think ds and I live in a field sustained by the smell of flowers.
2 - He said I had 'strange eyes'. No more explanation mind, that was just listed as one of the things I'd done wrong in our relationship, had 'strange eyes'.
3 - Another thing I'd done wrong was that I was 'obsessed with psychology'. Could almost seem a vaguely rational point until I say we met at uni, when I'd just started a degree - anyone like to guess the subject of the degree? 
Feeling better already!

50 shades of idiot: silly tales of the abusive ex (meant lightheartedly but also could be triggering)
Cakehanded · 20/03/2014 19:34
Ex P from my young & stupid days.
We lived together, I earned less but paid for 70% of rent, bills ect, because he had lived alone for a year & it was only fair that he got lots of spends to himself.
We also worked together & were both invited to a leaving do for a mutual friend. He finished hours before me & went off on the piss & when I joined them he screamed at me to piss off, coz I was an ugly far cow ( size 8 at the time).
Colleagues were great, gave me cab fare home - to next city where my family was 
.
The next day I got loads of calls from friends, colleagues etc telling me what a knob he was, bragging that he had me under his thumb & well trained . Tosser.
Got job transferred & met my lovely dh.
I caught one ex with a half naked teenage girl on my sofa when I'd come home from work early. His excuse was it was because he loved me so much he had to do something with the excess love as it was making him ill. 
I agreed to let him stay that night but he had to leave the next morning - he stayed up all night sobbing loudly and then I woke up to a ten page letter detailing all my faults and why I should stay with him. I also later discovered he'd taken the sofa cushions off and pissed all over the base, in my speakers, my plants, over all my clean washing in the dryer and in my shampoo bottle. The guy had a lot of piss! I lined my cat's litter tray with his new suit for a couple of days and hung it back up in the liner, ready for him to collect.
Lots of wankbadgers out there......
Mine kept sending letters through the internal post system , I sent them back to his manager
Mine told me he could not pay bills at my house where he slept and our kids lived because he had bills to pay in his own house (which he didn't live in).
When I binned him he then complained about how much the bills in his house were costing him and how it wasn't fair.
his other favorite was asking me for a favour (e.g. picking him from somewhere) then adding lots and lots of conditions and screaming at me until I said I wasn't that keen to do the favour anymore. Then saying well then I won't ask you again!!
And the sight of him trying to flounce out with 50" telly under his arm (it took two trips) is a memory I will treasure. He has no idea how ludicrous he looked. the dc don't recall it so fondly though as they were watching it.
This is the only thing keeping me at NC atm... Been gaslighted intensely this week my minds a mess ow in the mix too so my self esteem is in tatters. This thread reminds me of his bad side spurs me on abit longer x
Being berated continuously by the ex-Twat for "not loving him enough", and "I don't feel loved by you". Asked him to rate our relationship out of 10 - got the answer "I'm really happy in the other areas of my life, but our relationship is a 4/10" 
. When I eventually got rid of this emotionally abusive arse 4 months later, he couldn't understand why I didn't want to give the relationship (yet) another shot .
And another - several months after we had been together, I discovered his online profile back up. Texted him and called him an arsehole. His response? "I was getting a photo off the site for my mother." By that time I had twigged on the lies and double standards.
What an Utter Twat!

Using this thread as inspiration to help push me to get out.
I had a gem at the weekend - queuing at the supermarket, 'D'H with a face like a slapped arse as I'm trying to have a conversation with him. Stopped and asked him what was wrong. "I'll tell you later", says he, and refuses to engage in any more talk, all the way home.
So when we get home I asked him what had been wrong, at first he refuses to tell, acting all dramatic and sighing and saying "You'll only get upset with me if I tell you."
Turns out he thought my breath smelt. An hour after I'd brushed my teeth before we left for home and I hadn't eaten anything in the interim. My breath didn't smell but its now made me paranoid.
When you won't engage in a conversation with your wife because apparently her breath smells, you know there's something wrong.
