Or maybe a short sentence. I have massive doubts. Just wondering how others knew...

When I realised that if the police knocked on my door to tell me he had died I would not be able to hide my relief.

YungDumbThrills · 28/12/2021 15:55

He left us

ashtyler · 28/12/2021 15:55

Found the emails

Holothane · 28/12/2021 15:56

I don’t care.

Blueuggboots · 28/12/2021 15:58

I hated him. Skin revulsion hatred.

tinseleverywhere2021 · 28/12/2021 16:00

His words became very cruel, zero empathy and utterly selfish.

CorvusPurpureus · 28/12/2021 16:03

Cold shark eyes.

gonnabeok · 28/12/2021 16:04

Lonely in his company

ZeusandClio · 28/12/2021 16:19

I found out.

Cocaine, strippers, infidelity, spending on all of that.

ProudAlly · 28/12/2021 16:27

Affair after affair

Holothane · 28/12/2021 16:27

I’m not alone in thinking this thank you others for saying this, death.

alwayswrighty · 28/12/2021 16:28

Ex emailed man (dick picks).

RedBonnet · 28/12/2021 16:29

Realised I preferred it when he wasn't there

Maze76 · 28/12/2021 16:30

He cheated and lied

EveningOverRooftops · 28/12/2021 16:30

Not marriage but relationships, all different men.

He didn’t come into the 20 week scan.

He confessed he was into pegging.

I had a panic attack about moving cities. I’ve moved countless times up and down the country, never moved and had that reaction.

Just a deep sadness whenever I looked at him that I knew we could never live together despite how I feel. He has his personal issues I have mine and it would be like a firebomb to put them under the same roof. It’s been a rough year.

Franklyfrost · 28/12/2021 16:46

Easier without him.

Heelancoo · 28/12/2021 16:46

Ignored my birthday. Avoided me. Told me our marriage was a mistake. I was no fun and dwelling in the past (a few months after I had watched my mum die from cancer). Didn’t like my daughter. Decided to move 300 miles away.

Despite all this-I still tried to salvage things for 9 more miserable months. Don’t be like me! X

Holothane · 28/12/2021 17:10

Oh god he’s on about coming to London with me over my dead body I’ve got plans and they don’t include him.

CowboyBebop · 28/12/2021 17:13

Not my problem.

Marcipex · 28/12/2021 17:17

She arrived one evening

TheDrWillSeeYouNow · 28/12/2021 17:20

Never ending depression

PickAChew · 28/12/2021 17:22

I despised him.

ByeByeMissAmericanPie · 28/12/2021 17:23

He’s a cruel angry narcissist with huge issues about his upbringing. None of which he thinks is his problem. All of which impacted on me and the DC.

I also totally get the dying bit. The first lockdown was HELL ON EARTH.

ILoveAnOwl · 28/12/2021 17:23

Rotten, disintegrating aubergine.
