I ended a relationship today.

[Temporaryanonymity]

I'm feeling so positive.

I divorced five years ago and since then I have been in an on off relationship with an old flame. He became a rather toxic habit and whilst when he is nice, he is very, very nice, he is mostly an alcoholic arse.

Last night he woke me up, drunk, at 4am. I told him to leave and never bother me again.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I am so looking forward to 2018 without this toxic relationship. Mostly posting here to keep my resolve strong.

I wanna be like you when I grow up !!!!

Well done girl !

So brave 🤗

Good for you, a really positive start to the new year. Onwards and upwards.

Go girl. You rock.

I ended a relationship today too! (now ex) BF was repeatedly picking up his phone while we were having a meal - I left! last straw/camel's back situation this evening. Glad to start 2018 single.
Happy New Year!

Thanks. The fact he responded by telling me he had wanted to spend our lives together, although only once my children had left home because he doesn't really like them much helped strengthen my views. And the arsey voicemails and abusive texts throughout. Happy new year to me!

Sounds like a bloody fantastic decision to me. Enjoy the future

Brilliant op!

I think I’m about to end mine. BF has chosen to spend tonight with friends rather than me & ive been on my own with our puppy since about 9.30.

He was due to come home about an hour after me but went to the pub instead. He’s not even sorry & I am devastated.

Well done! Have also ended a ‘relationship’ with an alcoholic abusive arsehole. That was xmas eve and I have not regretted it at all. Tried to end it so many times but this is it. Not wasting another hour/day/year on him!!!

Happy 2018 xxx

There's nothing like that feeling of relief to confirm that you've done the right thing.

Happy new year!

Well done! New Year, new beginnings.

You lot are serious with resolutions!

Have a great 2018 without the hangers on!

Ryder - your post makes me feel
Less unreasonable. Ended relationship a while back but shit phone etiquette contributing factor

Thats wonderful
Be proud of you ... that takes strength and courage.

Sounds like a f*ing brilliant start to the year!

I felt really 'light' when I threw my now XH out. Then I realised it's because I wasn't carrying 16 stone of idiot any more.
Excellent work OP, enjoy 2018

Well done. Life is too short to waste on alcoholics. That's why my dp is tt.

Well done to all of you !
It's very empowering and I am happy to see so
Many tough woman out there doing what is best for themselves !

Happy New year !!!!

Not to derail OP's thread, but yeah, queen phone addiction was pissing me off. Gentle hints months ago hadn't stopped it. No matter where we where - his phone took precendence over enjoying the moment and time with me. It really is a 21st century problem for many, I fear.

OP I hope you feeling ok today

well done all

mine finished yesterday,another functioning alcholic (though he denies)yeah course somebody that drinks a bottle of port in 5 hrs neat does not have a problem (this was 4wks back) and drinks every day

Well done op ! I was back and forth with my ex ( not an alcoholic but an emotionally abusive twat and a cheat ) when I finally ended it for good I knew that was really it that time and the relief was amazing !

You may have the odd wobble but they will pass and youl look back a year from now and be amazed you ever put up with the knob head! Stay strong happy new year !
