...or decide that was definitely the end?

Inspired by another thread.

Mine was pre DH when a boyfriend at the time said something in a weird baby voice and then kept on when I said stoppp! Killed it.

Him: I think it’s time that we moved in together.
Me: ok
Him: I’ll take your bloody dogs to the shelter in the morning, get them rehomed.
Me: Bye. Don’t come back.

6 months we had been dating and staying at each other’s, and he had never once said he didn’t like dogs.

I've got a recent one! I met this guy through work, he approached me. It was bold and unprofessional of him to do so, but I was attracted to him and didn't mind. We started messaging.

We'd had a couple of bumps in the road of the messaging and some red flags, but overall he was funny, sweet and sensitive. At one point, he sent me a video of the videos he'd been watching - top of the list was one called "Why Modern Society is Castrating Men", with a thumbnail of Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Piers Morgan. I said that was too many dickheads for me. As the conversation unravelled, he told their values were his "rooted belief system".

Oh, and he'd been exceptionally controlling and abusive to a friend of a friend when in a relationship with her. Seeing evidence of those messages was the final straw!

After being sexually assaulted whilst travelling alone on a train, told my husband and his first question was "well what were you wearing?" That was my lightbulb moment. Happy to report we have recently separated Grin

That's horrific, I'm so sorry. But also, very glad for you that you got out of that!

I was very young but “if you go off to university I don’t know if I can stay faithful”

off you fuck, nobhead

Stressfordays · 04/10/2022 21:04

A recent ex called me a psycho for calling him out on some pretty shoddy behaviour instead of discussing it with me. Goodbye and good riddance. Later was confirmed he was cheating on me.

SuchAFunAge · 04/10/2022 21:05

Gahh! All of these are awful!!

Palmtreesprings · 04/10/2022 21:07

Me: But I thought you meant meeting up on Wednesday?
Him: Don’t think, leave the thinking to me

25 years on and we are good friends and can laugh about it now but that was the final straw in terms of our relationship!

After we'd already split, stbxh said 'you're lucky I didn't turn abusive when you filed for divorce'. He had already taken my car keys off me so I had the smaller, older car to drive the children in, and cut up the joint credit card in front of me. Shockingly this didn't make me change my mind and instead firmly cemented my decision 😂 utter dickhead

Mind you, whenever we had sex, as he was entering me (sorry for Mills & Boon wording) he'd always mutter 'up your bum right' even though he KNEW I hated him saying that. Why I stayed so long I'll never know

My DCousin has literally just left her cock of a husband. He had always been a misogynistic arsehole, but for some reason it took this weekend for her to see it.

My lovely DNiece (17) was being bullied by two girls at Sixth Form because DNiece was dating a boy that one of them once went out with. On Saturday one of them graffiti'd my cousin's garage door with "D-NEICE-NAME is a Slag".

Niece was utterly distraught and embarrassed
Cousin was furious and tearful
DCousin's husband's first response was "Well there's no smoke without fire"

He has finally been told to Fuck off to the far side of Fuck.
He is DNeice biological father for what it's worth.

"Any other man would've hit you by now"

theemmadilemma · 04/10/2022 21:33

Yes, she's pregnant. She wasn't his wife. I was.

Confused by this one

WaxingGibbon · 04/10/2022 22:26

Some of these are truly shocking
Mine didn't have to say anything. he just left a load of skid marks on my bed after a night of enthusiastic rogering

FleeUpFreeTime · 04/10/2022 22:26

Refereed to me as Mate and never changed his pillow cases - they were grim

another ex when we were 18, lovely man but had been at work we in McDonalds he ate hi burger with dirty hands and had a coat with coat lining

another ex aged 19 wore a jumper to a party that had the old man diamond print on the front

im very single now and have been for years and I believe it’s because I was so nasty to the guys above!! Except for the top ex he deserved to be dumped

FleeUpFreeTime · 04/10/2022 22:30

His coat had a gold lining

WhackingPhoenix · 04/10/2022 22:34

When he hinted at obscene things to do with my dog. A cold sweat came over me and I reported him to the police as soon as I’d made my excuses to leave his flat.

I’m just glad I’d never, ever left my dog alone with him! Never seen or heard from him since.

B1rd · 04/10/2022 22:38

On our 6 month anniversary,, we went to the pub. Someone I barely knew chatted to him, The ex got insanely jealous for absolutely no reason. I went to the toilet to see if it would help him calm down. He left me in the pub without telling me he was leaving. I was sat there for 20 minutes. He was sat on the door step when I got home. I made him sleep in his car that night.

Tiredbutwireless · 04/10/2022 22:38

Him: if I said something that was different to what your daughter said, what would you believe?
me: .. speechless.. but 2 days later dumped him!!

MissAmbrosia · 04/10/2022 22:40

My ExH stated that he'd been discussing me with his mother and they'd decided I needed to be more like a "proper wife" along the lines of cooking his dinner and then knitting in front of the fire. It was this or leave apparently. I left. Very fast. His face 😄

Crappydoo · 04/10/2022 22:42

I (foolishly) changed my relationship status on Facebook to "in a relationship" and he asked me who with. We were both in our forties and had been together for over two years.

AlwaysGinPlease · 04/10/2022 22:42

I should have added done to you not just said. There are some fucking awful people out there. So sorry for those treated so terribly.

When I said the relationship was over, he said ‘You’re being very stupid, you know.’ Any doubts I might have had vanished in an instant.
On Christmas Day: ‘Christmas is only special when you have children.’ I had miscarried his child two weeks previously.

StarCourt · 04/10/2022 22:43

He called my hairdresser a whore
