i have to tell dp tm==onight that i no longer love him because i am fed up to the back teeth (though it's now ogne beyond that feeling) of his controlling ways. it's not as bad as some men but i still hate the feeling of being controlled. i have asked and asked him int he past not to do it and he does stop - but then it starts again so am not sure he knows he's doing it anymore.
((my last relationship before him was very controlling to the extent that i couldn't take a walk around my then local park without him(x) accusing me me of playing a new mind game and going to be with the drunks.))
i am starting to feel a lot more the same way as i did last time, i have warned him (dp) about how i felt last time and that i wouldn't put up with it for long but have now firmly realised that i can't go through with it anymore and i can't let dd suffer in this atmosphere any longer.
i am trying to tyoe this really quickly because he has just put dd to bed and i don't want him to catch me doing this, i feel as though i have to be furtive about what i say on mn in case he sess it so i really can't be arsed about namechanging,

i have felt like this for quite a while tryiong to sort out how i feel about him. i have told him before that i no longer feel the same way (ihave told him this before and changed my mind) as i should so maybe he thought i mind change my mind again. i have bad pnd episdodes where i can't feel anything emotional beyond making sure i am caring for my daughter, let alone loving her although that feeling has now come back, i know thta the ones for him won't. i don't like the idea of breaking his heart but my heart is being shredded and i won't go through this any longer. i just don't know how to tell him

i'm sorry fpr long post, it would've been lot longer but i can't decide where to start and keep jumping back and forwards.

please help me

fransmom - you don't sound sad (about the rl friends) at all! I am a norma-no-mates, and it's not cos i haven't lived here a long time, it's because i say stupid things and sound like a nutter!

i'm so sorry you are going through this

it's always going to be hard to end a relationship, i remember how bloody awful it was with my h, but it was the right decision

stay strong and keep reminding yourself why you know it's over, and use mn as a prop

GodzillasBumcheek · 26/09/2007 20:21

I can't really think of anything helpful to say though! I am rubbish in rl situations with upset people too
I have just written and rewritten this post about 5 times!

fransmom · 26/09/2007 20:21

Oh FM, I'm so sorry you're going through this honey.

I was in a very similar situation myself, and had to make the tough decision to end my marriage.
It was the toughest thing, but I don't regret my decision.

We are all here for you, and you have my mail address, so mail me anytime.x

fransmom · 26/09/2007 20:23
