Sort of a taat, but reading sosos grammar school thread and it got me to thinking

When ex-dp and I were 'trying' (i.e. I was doing the pick me dance/hysterical bonding and he was sexting everything with a pulse and lining up his next victim girlfriend) we had a conversation about celebrities we'd like to be

I said various people for their attributes and then he said he'd be Peter Pan - when I asked why he said 'because I don't ever want to grow up, it's boring isn't it?' and it was a 'scales falling from my eyes' moment - I had morphed into this boring responsible dowdy mum but thank god one of us had because he was simply never going to take responsibility for anything

Every letter he didn't take back to school that I'd had to fill out, every time he was late for work, every time he lived off microwave burgers and spent 20 hours a day gaming - it wasn't me, it was him looking to be forever 16

So what was yours?

Him "yes I took out a huge loan but it's nothing to do with you because I'm leaving" - always his excuse to never discuss anything before me begging him back.
Me "ok you know where the door is, if you leave now never come back".
I never discussed it with him any furt er, after a week he text asking why I hadn't contacted him to discuss things.

"I didn't realise you were serious"
About him taking responsibility for contraception after 20 years on various forms, haemorrhaging and nearly dying whilst giving birth to our last child. I'd been saying it for 3 years. His choice, condoms or vasectomy. He chose abstinence. 3 years of no sex and he thought I was joking and I'd get over it and go back on the pill like a good wife.

Got rid of him and have someone who doesnt make me feel like the most unattractive woman in the world. In fact, when I told lovely new man about what happened in labour, he was so horrified by the thought of me having to go through that again, he offered to get a vasectomy in the spot.

Ex 1: "Where the fuck is my watch?"

Ex 2: "You're a stupid fuck for being with me, aren't you? You stupid fuck!"

Ex 3: "I swear on our daughter's life I didn't sleep with my friend." (Turns out he had been cheating on me with his female friend - our daughter's life meant nothing.)

I told my exh to "drop dead" in an argument. It felt horrible as the words came out of my mouth and, obviously, I didnt mean it literally but the way we looked at each other afterwards meant we both knew it was over because it revealed the depth of my contempt for him.

We were having major problems... We talked and agreed with would have a nice meal with the kids and then when they were in bed we'd sit and talk properly.
I made a lovely dinner and me and the kids waited and waited. He turned up belligerent, drunk and aggressive having been in the pub most of the night.
One of the kids asked why he hadn't come home like he promised, he turned pointed in the child's face and said 'I will come and go as I please and you and your mother had better get used to it'
I left the next morning

When I was sat on the floor crying after finding out he had cheated multiple times with prostitutes by finding messages on his computer. He stood over me and said "You need to grow up, you're weak".
I got up straight away and said " I'll show you how f* weak I am, this is over right now!" The look on his face was priceless lol

He used to tell me he wanted a divorce whenever we argued, the last time he said it I said fine lets do it then. He really wasn't expecting it, I had grown a pair and decided to stop pleading with him to stay.

My exh told.me I was no more than a prostitute when I was on maternity leave and so not earning and contributing financially to the household.

He then told me he'd never had any intention of ever buying a house with me because I'd had all the money of his I was ever going to get.

I thought we'd been saving for a deposit. I didnt realise he'd been using that money (inc my contributions) as a personal slush fund. He resented every single penny that was spent on me or the children.
