He finishes with me all the time

Been with him 3 years, he can be amazing, romantic, funny and adorable but he has another side where he moans about my children, he is not keen on my friends. He left this time over a t shirt I washed which I thought was my sons but it was my sons dads t shirt, if I’d have know it was my exes I wouldn’t have washed it. I told him the truth but he nagged and left me and told me that his life is running out and he said I’m controlled by my kids. I’m broken again - it’s 13th time he’s quit on me ! I love him so much, I’ve been strong and not contacted him negging him back like I usually do, it’s been a week - should I message him and what do I say. My kids know that he really just wants me as he is a bit on and off with them. I’m constantly obsessing over him and life sucks without him - I’m 55

Been a tough day but I’ve managed to get through it. My DC are really good no smoking or drinking, I realise he only looked for the bad in them.

Call the shots this time and get rid of him for good. You don’t need this controlling bully in your life.

AnyFucker · 06/10/2019 19:27

Yeah, and you ignored the bad in him and disrespected your kids in the process. Sort yourself out.

love21 · 06/10/2019 19:32

It’s my home with my children x

Well done with how you're doing. Just keep going- soon he;ll be just a memory you'll be glad to have behind you. Hugs xxx

What's with all these threads lately with middle aged people acting like teenagers?

It's weirding me out!

Lozzerbmc · 06/10/2019 22:33

Let him go - he’s not your true love he is abusive. In leaving he’s done you a favour bit he’ll be back as you are not playing the game - be strong. Move on - your life will be less stessful and much better for it

Hormones @gamerchick ?

love21 · 10/10/2019 23:28

Been 12 days no contact I’m doing well this time

RueCambon · 10/10/2019 23:32

You are!! Well done OP. It often gets harder before it gets easier but the unsettled feelings will pass. You have been strong (and wise) not contacting him.

BumbleBeee69 · 10/10/2019 23:40

I'm so glad to read you have not contacted this childish dick, who wants only you and not your kids, WTF were you thinking keeping a man like this in your life OP.

Keep strong lady and don't let him back in, he'll be expecting to just walk back in and become your priority again. Good luck Flowers

PickedByYou · 11/10/2019 00:38

Well done OP. Have you got some new plans for the future?

Groovee · 11/10/2019 06:17
