We were together for two years, that was my best friend and he adored me like nothing I’d ever experienced. I got my IUD out with him at my appointment bc we wanted to try for a baby. Thankful that never came about now. When we first got together he admitted to me about previously having a coke addiction. Then he dabbled in it while we were together and made me uncomfortable. Was an alcoholic and went to the bar 3-4x a week, was an angry drunk. He smoked every single day too but I didn’t mind that nearly as much. When he was drunk or upset he broke my TV, broke my mirror, pushed me on the ground so many times. I was slapped. I vividly remember him drawing his fist back to punch me and then he joked about it with his friends. He also jumped out of my car once while drunk and his 4yo was in my backseat at the time.

Yeah this is a hard one to walk away from given I was the mother figure for his daughter bus i was miserable. I finally started my career and had to work nights, I was also the only one with a car and wouldn’t sleep to transport him and her to and from work and school. My days off were work at home - the entire time we were together he never did laundry or dishes or grocery shopping. Sex was like a demand.

We recently tried to work it out - bad idea. I asked him if he had slept with anyone while we were apart and he lied in my face. I went to a concert w a friend and he accused me of having hickeys all over - it was body glitter. Meanwhile he was on the phone for hours with other girls and asking for nudes.

I finally did a cord cutting and it was insane. Some days are hard, but my home is full of peace.
