What went wrong in you last relationship?

[charliecat]

Just wondering if theres a general reason why people go seperate ways.

[northerner]

He moved to Australia

[WigWamBam]

My xp was an arse who thought that because I was a lot younger than him, he could treat me like a daughter and control my life. Oh, and he hit me as well ... which didn't exactly make me want to be with him forever.

[LilacLotus]

nothing, as i'm still in my first.

[Mum2girls]

ex-mates, surely Beety....

[stitch]

ha, still trying to make him ex. still with first person....

[flamesparrow]

He broke up with me cos he had the mental age of 3. (Pretty much his words too )... Twas cool though - met up with him on my hen night, the first time in 6 years, and he APOLOGISED for being a shit.

[expatinscotland]

The last one before I met DH? He was a verbally abusive alcoholic who had - come to find out - a criminal record involving driving whilst intoxicated. He'd even been tried (and acquitted) over the death of a 17-year-old girl whose car he'd hit.

He was also a lying, materialistic git.

[clare1980]

he used to hit me, threaten to snatch our dd and move abroad, turned all my so called mates against me, slept with my sis(so she says) brought my sis drugs, turned my dd against me and my family the list is endless and now the wa** stain is trying to talk me out of marrying dp because i am happy and he hates it cos he is sad pathetic and lonely

[RachD]

He didn't love me.
We ran a pub together.
I begged him to give me a reason to stay.
But he didn't.
So I left my relationship, my home and my job in one go.
At the time it was terribel.
With hindsight, married to my dh, best thing I ever did.

We all leave for a reason, don't we ?
I wonder which mn's has got the best reason ?

[Toothache]

He was German.

[oliveoil]

I was taller than him

[swiperfox]

I kissed his friend in ther bar he dj'd at.
I denied it for 2 weeks.
The bar manager showed him the cctv.

Doh!!

[Surfermum]

He didn't want children .

[Jackstini]

First hubby slept with someone else (poss forgiveable) without using any protection (?!) whilst trying to get me pregnant (completely unforgiveable due to lack of respect for me and possible baby creation)

I walked out same day - much happier 8 years on with my new dh and bump on the way

[juice]

he was a controlling, mentally abusive d*kh*d. he also tried to hit me one night and that was the end of it. i used to get panic attacks because of him and my weight went down to 7 stone.

i hope he dies a slow very painfull death and if i ever seen him again i would probably run him over.

[biglips]

exBF was too jealous and possesive and too parnoid with me as i couldnt even look at other people without getting dragged out of the pub and he was accusing me shagging everything even teh bloody postman!! but ive never spoken to the postman.....but im now in a safe, loving, happy relationship with my Fiancee and a baba of course

[munz]

erm one b4 DH he was a coke addict, had a huge habit - picked drugs over me, was upset at the time but best thing we did was split up.

[NotActuallyAMum]

He was a bully with a bad temper and I was frightened of him (but I would never have admitted that when we were together). He was never violent, not towards me anyway though the walls/doors/ornaments etc. in the house used to cop it regularly! We were together 14 years, lived together for 12 and in all that time he took me out 3 times. I never knew what time he was coming back from work - he'd go visiting friends before coming home any time between 7 and 10. In all the time we were together he never, and I mean never, did any housework/washing/cooking/cleaning (I should say though that he was good when it came to DIY). I even used to get his clothes ready for work for him. We both worked full-time (no children). Yes of course I do accept the "more the bloody fool you for doing it all" argument but his temper was so bad I always thought it was best not to wind him up. Every now and then he would go round the house looking for dust and when he found some boy did I get a bollocking! (I don't care how clean a house is, if you go looking for dust you'll fine some - his favourite trick was to pull a bed out and look at the skirting board behind it). He used threaten to take my car off me (which I had paid for) if ever I "did anything wrong"

I finally found the strength to leave him last February . I met my current DP four months later and he's wonderful (altogether now - aaaaahhhhh!)

[beansprout]

He was seeing someone else from about a month into the relationship.

[CeeTee]

I pretty much just asked the same question...lol
I need to learn to scroll down before asking questions! :0

[fqueenzebra]

I loved him a lot but I just couldn't be happy living with him, we're too too different on a day-to-day practical basis.

Some of my relatives and friends thought he was a complete and utter self-obsessed tosser.

Weirdly enough he's now married with family, having a more settled down and "ordinary" life than I could ever have imagined.

Oh, and he was into anal sex (both giving and receiving)... definitely not MY THING.
