Thanks for everyone who commented on my last post.

I broke up with my now ex this morning and I'm angry more than I am upset. The coward didn't even bother to call me and just dumped my key in the letterbox. Clearly, there was no respect for the relationship at all. There was no apology for his complacency or refusal to speak to me about these issues last night. If he had, I would never have put that post up or dumped him today. He said he was going to tell me he loved me and didn't want to "mention it in passing" but if this level of complacency is his idea of love then I don't want it.

I know he will miss me. I know he will miss me cooking him breakfast, the sex, the board games, the laughter and the fact that he could talk to me after a hard day. I know he will miss my little dog and I KNOW he will miss having help fixing his house (it was ruined in a natural disaster and my friend who is a carpenter offered to help him fix it free of charge).

I know there will be other issues that he has with his friends with future women he dates.

I won't miss being someone's bang mum during quarantine.

To everyone else: check his friends. If they have a very unbalanced and weird relationship then get rid of him. Chances are he's immature and can't stand up to them. His friends will keep him single for a long time.

If you think you're the only woman he's dated who's seeing some red flags, you're probably wrong. In my case, a woman he dated years ago broke up with him for similar reasons.
