I've been hooked on this man for six years now.

I did love him very much and put up with a lot of pain because I believed in him. But he's hurt me too much. He's shown me countless times that he's just a selfish moron who makes endless empty promises. I've tried everything to stay away from him but I keep coming back. Until now...

I'm starting to notice that his smell frightens me. When we spend time together, I rush home to shower because I want his energy off of me. He hasn't seen my son in over a year. I thought we were trying to rebuild trust after he went through some really dark stuff and was very mean to me.

But I don't want him anymore. I'm tired of asking him to include me in his life or even recognize that I was. I'm tired of asking for more than scraps, then he gives even less after promising more. He seems to frantically love me at times, and at other times gives me the silent treatment. Almost every time I tell him how I feel, including when it's unrelated to him, he gets defensive, argumentative and is definitely gaslighting me. He lies, he blames, he offers things he never follows through with. He admits to being controlling, defensive and manipulative sometimes, other times he says it's in my head.

I'm afraid to say I'm done, because that's when I start to miss him.

I can't do this anymore though. He drains the fun out of everything. His mood shifts so hard without warning so I never know what I'm going to get. His dick won't get hard and he barely touches me. It feels like he's disgusted by me but he swears he's madly in love.

I don't believe in him anymore. I don't want him. I don't want to see him. Whatever is between us is dead and I'm ready to take my life back.

I'm reading over what I wrote and realizing there's nothing redeeming about him or us.

I don't want him anymore. I don't love him. Truth is, he doesn't deserve me.

I'm sorry you're going through this. That's a lot of time spent & it's not easy. But I'd assume what you're asking for has never changed & you still haven't gotten it. We don't have time to wait forever
The fact he hasn't seen your son in over a year shows his lack of intentions. Your son is the most important thing to you.

This made me think of you, btw.

@Bexsy I won't let him see my son. My son doesn't like him. I think we only dated for a few months and the break up has lasted years...

That is so precious 🖤 thank you 🖤
@ScreamingFox 🖤 you're welcome

That is true, you don't need to be with an anchor that does nothing but bring you down. You should be with someone who will bring you up and keep you there. I hope you find that

You got this, when you feel that pull reread this and remind yourself of why you pulled away.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@SlippingAway I just don't think I can keep being this pathetic anymore. I'm okay alone. I feel alone anyway.
SlippingAway · 46-50, F
@ScreamingFox You are not pathetic, you've just been in an abusive unhealthy relationship that can really beat you down and do a number on your self esteem. I can relate, I've been there more times than I should have allowed.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@SlippingAway abuse has been the one constant in my life, but I need it to stop. I'm sorry you've been there too. Sometimes I really think alone is just the way to be

and yet he's comfortable and you know what to expect...
that's the worst of it.

hang in there SF - you got this

you understand the dynamics

You know a relationship doesn't work when his presence is worse than his absence. I'm sorry though JFC you need a break
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@CountScrofula thank you 🖤

I'm working on that break

I'm proud of you for recognizing this and putting it in words. It will help 💙

And you don't even really have to tell him you're done, or say it out loud.

You can just end it, or let it fizzle out, until you just don't feel interested in reaching out to him anymore

You don't owe this fker anything.

You'll do what's best for you because you deserve that 💙💙💙
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@caccoon I keep thinking the same thing, that I don't have to say good bye or explain myself anymore. I can disappear. It's not like he's going to chase me or try to get me back.

Thank you 🖤

@ScreamingFox he might. I'm sure he'll come sniffing around, but he doesn't have much power over you anymore it sounds like. You see through him 💙 and you REALLY don't owe him any decency or closure. You can find it for yourself. 💙 Sometimes I find it helpful to write a goodbye letter to someone and never send it. Just burn. It's for yourself 💙

You're welcome 💙💙💙 big hugs!
