...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.

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 just victim blaming and his way out of getting involved.

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.

Oh dear god. That's terrifying.

Not sure why comments aren't showing on quotes. That's sickening. I am glad you got rid of him. Anyone even treads on any of ours dogs paws and they're in for it!

Honestly it was sickening. I dread to think what he’s done in the past if he so openly suggested it to me after we’d been dating for six weeks. Disgusting creature. And he seemed so bloody normal!

On driving me home (reluctantly) from having an op to remove cancer he said quite seriously " if you die I'll need to employ a housekeeper".
Instead of dieing I divorced the bastard, don't know if he's had to employ a housekeeper though.

"I'll give you 100 quid if you can find a better man than me" 🤣🤣🤣

AlwaysGinPlease · 04/10/2022 23:14

@WhackingPhoenix I hope something awful happened to him so he can't hurt anyone. Disgusting cnut.

Having an argument about his horrible interfering mother -

Me: "she said I'm a split personality! And you just sat there!"
Him: "well, you are".

I'll never forget how totally crushed I was by those words.

The moment for me was him complaining about what he’d spent for a significant birthday of mine, whilst forgetting that he’d spent it for that reason.

Mixed with him being a general selfish prick, told me once via text message that he loved me (4 year relationship), didn’t do oral sex, bored me to death, tight as fuck (so not surprised about the birthday complaints), tried to overly “parent” my children, sponged off a family member, wore clothes with holes in and would randomly burst into workout routines and yoga poses…I am now happily single 🤣

AnightwiththeTiger · 05/10/2022 00:25

He told me Nottingham was north of Leeds and was adamant you have to go through Nottingham to get to Leeds. From London. And that London was greener and nicer than the north because it has more parks. And then finally revealed that he thought male rape wasn’t really so bad, until I worked out that he thought it was something to do with highly sexually dominant women. When I’d put him straight he was kind blown. And single. Intolerably stupid.

My ExH told me in bed after sex that he did love me but not the same way as he used to. Broke my heart. We parted soon afterwards.

XDownwiththissortofthingX · 05/10/2022 01:05

It wasn't what they said, because that was completely mundane, but the tone they said it in and the accompanying body language and facial expression. It was the proverbial final straw that made me realise I'd finally had enough of passive aggressive bullshit, being treated with contempt for no real reason, and putting up with a general arseyness that had no justifiable cause. I'd been miserable for years anyway but didn't want to 'throw away' a decades long relationship. In a moment I realised "well I'm constantly miserable anyway because of you, so I might as well give being rid of you a shot", walked through to the room they were sat in and ended it right there and then. Never looked back. After years of being told that I was the miserable one who 'sucked the joy' out of our relationship, I've long since realised it was the other way around. Pretty much since the moment I ended it I realised that.

Faithin · 05/10/2022 01:10

after asking if he could please do atleast one night feed with the baby because I was completely exhausted and that I need sleep too, he told me that he knows I need sleep too but he won't do any night feeds because "it's a dog eat dog world out here and I've got bigger teeth than you"

I had a major accident. The sort of life changing thing requiring many many surgeries and being left with life-long disability and pain that no one can cure. I could curl into a ball and mope about, but I choose not to. Upon discovery of the long-term prognosis, I told Prince Charming how I was going to just accept what had happened and adapt. I asked him to support that by not doing things for me like carrying and lifting as I wanted to regain as much ability as possible. His reply was that he had been thinking of buying me a mug with my photo on it from when I was much younger, and in my prime. It would remind you of how things used to be, before all this happened, when you were younger, erm not disabled and all that, he said. Just for laughs, apparently, as I was older now, not very well and it was only going downhill from here in. His mates at work had thought it would be dead funny to see my reaction. But he added that he wouldn't bother going to unnecessary expense of getting the mug (lucky, lucky me). Tight and tactless. The 'bargain' was dispatched.

Was going out with a guy who started to slag off his ex Mrs and said "i was saying to my dad every time I see her, her arse is getting bigger and bigger, hahaha". I just thought he is speaking about his children's Mum that way how disrespectful. Plus he wouldn't tip delivery people or in restaraunts.

MintJulia · 05/10/2022 01:21

Him: "You know, if you want our relationship to develop, you need to get rid of (ds) at least every other weekend."

Me: No. Thanks, but no. Bye.

I've talked about it on here before so won't go into detail, but when he killed my dog's week old puppies.

This whole thread just cements for me that most men are lying, dirty, selfish, idiotic, utterly delusional pricks! And all on a sliding spectrum of how abusive and perverted they are. 🤮

When I win euromillions I’m buying a remote tropical island, building a luxury resort for women only and you’re all invited.
