Have I done the right thing?

Just after a year after I met what I thought was the love of my life, I've finally had enough and asked him to leave.

I have posted under different usernames over this period of time and I'm still worried I've not done the right thing.

I just couldn't take anymore of the mind games and the strange behaviour. Constantly being asked to promise him I've not been chatting to anyone else.

Constantly feeling on egg shells about what he's going to ask next. E.g my DD spilt whites chocolate on my bedsheet and I immediately thought he'd question me as to what it was and how it got there.

The constant lack of space and refusing to have a life for himself. The list is endless. I am upset with myself for letting it go on and for behaving unacceptably as a result. I e shouting when it's become too much then being told I'm talking down to him. I couldn't breathe. Have I done the right thing?

Happy new year free of anxiety and mind games.

I feel so sick. He's already tried contacting me wanting to sort things out. I'm so confused

They do. And you'll get promises that he won't keep, and expressions of love that won't translate in to better behaviour. Stay strong OP. Write down all the things that have distressed you, all the times when you 'couldn't breathe'. All the arguments about nothing. Keep reading the list and please please don't let him back in.

Block him and go No Contact

Sounds like you have done exactly the right thing OP- and well done for getting out in a year..... just stick to it... if you thought of going back I am pretty sure it would all get worse, and you might not be able to get free again for years....

You have done the hardest step. Stick with it and you will be free!!!

I think you’ve done the right thing. Block him,do fun things with your DD and try forget about him
