Getting Ready to Leave the Love of my Life

How do I do this? He turned on me recently and has become a nasty c*nt. Overnight. How and why? He loved my 2 children, we spoke of marriage, wanted me forever for years, we were best friends, he was the best person I ever met. And now this.

Nothing changed, I didnt change so why has he?

Pretty certain there is no other woman. Think it might be the reality of being part of bringing up 2 children that are not his. How he has let them down.

When I first met him, he left his wife. She was outraged and turned his 2 children against him. He was broke. He has nothing. I got him out of his shitty life and made him tougher, stronger, encouraged him to believe in himself and loved him.

I'm such a fool and cannot get over how he has used me.

@makegood, if you are still reading.

He was always like this but when you were novel and meeting his needs he was lovely. Now time has moved on and perhaps life is routine (out of the honeymoon period) and that doesn't appeal to him any longer. Maybe he thinks your contribution (finance & emotional) isn't needed because he is back on his feet. Awful for you.

Sadly I think this is common, men seeking a soft place to fall after a relationship ends

Why he is horrible is because he wants you to end it. He doesn't want to work on it or to try.

You will recover but a sudden end to a relationship like this takes longer to bounce back from.
