Straw that broke the camels back.

[FloweringOrchid]

I have just ended my almost 5 year relationship...all because I have put his bottle of deodorant (he does not live with me) in a drawer specifically for beauty/personal products directly underneath where it is usually left of the chest top. Apparently this amounts to me being shifty as its never been moved before. I don’t even remember when or why I moved it because its that insignificant.

I am sick to death of having my head ripped off for such small things. But this has made me snap. How dare I be accused of cheating for simply moving an item in my own home?! My reaction says it all in his words - My reaction is because it is so god damn pathetic! Especially after a conversation only last night about him needing to stop this behaviour.

What was the straw that broke the camels back in your relationships?

For god's sake, he sounds insane. I'm glad that's the final straw for you. What will you do now?

Lucky you don't live with him. At least you don't have to chuck him out.

Well done.

A bar of Galaxy ended my second marriage.
Bought by exh despite knowing I only like Cadbury and had never eaten Galaxy in 8 years.
"But I thought you might have fancied some"
The realisation he never had /never would listen /care about anything I said or that mattered to me.
Took 2 years to get the guts to leave.
He raped me not long before I left but ducks were nearly in a row by then.

I bet it did.
Like said above - lucky he didn't get this foot in the door, and move in.

Try and rebuild myself i suppose. Thankfully we don’t have children together (but do have children of our own). He has been chipping away at me for months now.

Only a few weeks ago he reduced me to tears in the car because the satnav had taken us down a long narrow country road on the way to breakfast and we ended up getting lost and missing the time slot for breakfast being served. Because I couldn’t think of anywhere else to go for food I had my head ripped off for it. Then shouted at for crying. He never apologises or thinks that he is unreasonable when he does this - it’s all my fault.

Youve totally done the right thing in ending it OP

Well done, OP. I'm sure you have done the right thing.

Op my ex was exactly like that , down to a T.
Funnily enough it wasn't one of these nasty outbursts that made me finally end it with him, it was after a week of him being in Thailand on a jolly with his mate he wouldnt get out of bed in the morning. Ds was 3 then and i had did every single early morning wake up since he was born. This particular weekend we had his 8 year old from previous relationship staying with us ( lovely kid). Yet again i got up with the kids, hes lying in bed. I went up there and said Dont you want to come and spend time with your kids who you haven't seen for a week ? He put the pillow over his head and told me to f off i was a c_ and he just wants to be on his own. I saw him as pathetic and ended things that day . Best thing i ever did x

Ten years ago I broke up with my boyfriend. The straw was me standing in a vintage shop looking at myself in the mirror as I tried on a gorgeous vintage mini dress. It was PERFECT* and I realised I couldn't go on with the relationship as I was funding everything as he was seemingly unable to hold down a job. That despite working full time as a teacher and earning a decent salary I couldn't afford to buy the dress. It was only 15 pounds but things were so tight.

• it probably wasn't all that amazing but it was unattainable so took on mythical status. I was fed up. That dress made me realise the extent.

Ready for you
