Why is it that the silliest arguments Have caused My Relationship to End ....
I’m so so devastated....and know he will be too ...but there is no going back ..I’ve already told the kids he won’t be around here from now on ....
We were always “second-guessing”one another ..and it has killed us ...
Don’t know what Im looking for ...Just wanted to document it ....
So Fucking Sad 😞

Sometimes it’s not how important the argument is but how often they happen. If you weren’t getting on it sounds like it might be for the best even though it does hurt like hell.

We were getting on 90% ofte time ...
But he was always getting A Vibe thatwhat I said wasn’t what I meant ...Despite assurance that that wasn’t the case....It just blew up ...He gave me the silent treatment, wouldn’t answer my calls andI tipped and went on a texting rant ...Now it’s done 😕

Mine is constantly over he is a knob I was trying to decorate my kitchen tonight he took over then when I tried to help him my son got on my chair and rocked it he found it hilarious I cut too much off the paper and took over again I'm bloody capable of decorating he leaves bits hanging off all over the skirting board ffs but he just wont let me decorate my own kitchen

So yup a pretty stupid argument can end a relationship

If it’s a silly argument surely this could be overcome if you get on the majority of the time? Are you able to provide any more details?

Both have children...Around similar ages All got on really well...we were together for 2yrs ..The 2nd year was when our families had a lot of interaction..Didn’t live together but stayed over a few nights a week...he worked full time with primary care of both his kids...I worked part time and have sole care of my kids...I took Ona lot of meal prep for All of Us due to his workload...and took a Lot to do with his youngest ....We had a lovely evening onThursday with both our younger kids..They were both supposed to be staying at mines ..but his didn’t want to ...I really wanted them to ..but didn’t intervene when his child said they wanted to sleep at home ...Got accused of ensuring he didn’t get to stay ...Then it went from silent treatment from him to text rant from me to try to get my point across...It is a mess 🤔

He is regularly saying Im not in it like he is ...And it’s often said that he is”getting a Vibe thatI don’t want him in my life as much as he wants me in his “
I shop,cook and feed him, his kids and dogs 5 times a week(we were sharing the cost)

It’s the second guessing ...Thats the problem..I say one thing he thinks another ...and it takes forever to get him to see I meant what Isaid ...Usually after he’s went quiet and distanced himself and in reaction ..I’ve went in a rant ..

Sounds exhausting..2 years is when you get to know each other and I think it's very sensible to end a relationship with someone who gives silent treatment and guilt trips you. It would definitely get worse.

You are giving lots to the relationship but he wants more, sounds like he wants to be the centre of attention.
It is sad but best in the end as it sounds it would get more toxic.

TheCanyon · 02/03/2019 20:57

He went in a huff with you because his child wanted to sleep at home? He's nuts.

Definitely onwards and upwards

Yes ...Despite telling him earlier in the evening I Wanted him to stay...The fact I didn’t say anything to back him up when his child said they wanted to go to their own home gave him The Vibe that I didn’t really want him ...This has been a reason for disagreements a good few times ...”The Vibe” usually because I don’t say something in the “right” way if you know what I mean 🤔

When someone is toxic or unhealthy they come up with reasons for disputes which are not rational. A non toxic person tries to reason/compromise and understand the issues. If you let this go on he will drag you into exhaustion by the constant drama and conflict. I stayed because at times he could be normal but mostly he thrived on conflict over anything that most people would shrug off. Often toxic people are super sensitive to any perceived criticism and it is always about them and how their feelings have to be dominant.

Honestly walk away and keep waking, he is not fixable and it will get worse.

SandyY2K · 03/03/2019 14:32

It's not your place to convince his child to stay. I really don't see that you needed to back him up.

Sometimes kids want to be in their own beds and be in their own home, nothing wrong with that at all.

He really needs to consider how his DC feels, because going from one house to another... isn't always fun for kids, even when they like the other kids in the house.
