Think he's ended it... yet hanging around for what ?

Arrrgh I don't actually know what I am expecting from this. I've come to the very end of a long stressful bumpy relationship (lies, gambling, addiction, cheating) and now finally I'm broke, literally. I can't believe I have let this happen.

I'm a fragment of the woman I was before I got in a relationship with him. A very long story short - we don't have kids, I've been dealt the last straw (photos of his ex on his on his recent pictures, just sat at the side of him and he was showing me something and I asked what it was... a memory had popped up on his facebook so he screenshot it to send her apparently, but didnt because he knew it was wrong - not sorry either, just defensive and called me an idiot for looking over at his phone). They keep in touch as they have a property together still, she is living in it. We've been together 2 years though.

He doesn't have anywhere else to go, or wont. I am now past the point of crying and being upset I just want him to leave. He cant grasp the fact that I would be the one to end it, hes 10 years older, its my house, he's really outgoing and "fun" and just says "ill speak to you tomorrow when you aren't mad" - I've never been in this situation before but how the hell do you tell someone who's manipulative to get the hell out ? He thinks i'll be sorry tomorrow and don't mean what I've said. I'm looking for a way to end things but I think he already has... he's just lingering in my home !

Why dump his stuff at his Exs ? Nothing to do with her they split. It could be classed as fly tipping . I think the OP will take him back anyway .

The other house is still owned by him so it makes sense for his possessions to be there. Let's encourage the OP to put herself first, she doesn't have any other options anyway.

i've never been one for the bagging up and throwing out like trash, have you ever done that ? I want to, but feel it's crap on my side - as much as he's upset me, lied to me and broken me - I'd never do that to someone's belongings. A few friends said that a few months ago before they got fed up with me and stopped caring as they'd also said their bit and was fed up, with me.
It just goes against all my morals and as much as I'm down and have been a doormat - no one will take away my kindness, or whatever word. Thats my last ounce of dignity !

No, I've never had to throw someone's stuff outside but in a previous relationship when an ex refused to leave I rang the police, explained the situation and the officer spoke to the ex and advised him to leave, my next step would have been to put his stuff outside but ringing the police convinced the ex that I was serious.
It's not bagging up and throwing his stuff out like trash, it's removing trash (him) from your life.
I would not suggest that you sling his belongings out but pack and leave it outside for him to collect.
It's not going against your morals, kindness or dignity.
You need to be kind to yourself and preserve any dignity you have left by removing this horrible person from your life.
He's not going to leave, you seem, understandably, unable to find the strength to get him out.
Everyone on this thread understands that it is difficult and that it's easy for us to throw suggestions out there, the reality of doing it will be horrible.
You sound beaten down, again that's understandable.
Putting his belongings outside takes away his choices, removes his ability to talk you round and leaves him with no choice but to move onto another victim.
Trust me, you will feel like a weight has been lifted off you.
We are on your side ❤️

You've only been with him two years and he's under your roof!

Get him out. He's using you.

Yes it will feel awful as you do it because a decent woman like you always had hope that things would get better and one day he would be nice to you again.

I'm sure he was very nice to you before you let him move in and perhaps that is why you let him move in so quickly. He charmed you.

Once under your roof he reverted to his true self, a nasty piece of work.

Get him out and for a few days you will feel also shaken up and possibly even miss him because you're used to being there. Use this time to get your mind clear that he did not love, cherish or respect you and that you are worthy of being treated with kindness, affection and that your thoughts and feelings matter.

You will then become stronger with each passing day.

Any updates OP?
I've often wondered how you got on.
I really hope you were able to get rid of him.
