You're better off without him!

I don't have any Glastonbury tips I'm afraid as I'm allergic to camping! I'm sure your friends will rally round and maybe it might be an idea to post a thread about doing Glastonbury as inexpensively as possible?

It's never easy when a relationship comes to an end, but you'll be much happier in a few months - honest. At least you've only spent 2 years of your life with this guy - imagine if you'd spent decades with him? He doesn't sound like he could cope with children, so you'd have ended up with managing him as well as any little ones - and it's difficult enough when there are two of you committed to it!

Good luck.

He can sleep on the sofa! You stick in the bedroom. In the meantime, that was a good suggestion of yours into looking whats closer to work. Phone a couple of letting agencies and see whats available. See how much a deposit would be, or if they would let you pay it weekly. Then at least you know how much you need. Ebay as much stuff as you can, but I guess you do that already. Ebay his phones:rotfl: :rotfl:

Do you still have your ticket for Glastonbury? If you have then what would you need, travel and food money?? They're must be a cheap way to get you there.

if you are not going because of him, sell your glastonbury ticket on ebay - you'll be suprised at the amount you can get for it!

you are so much better off without him dragging you down! you deserve someone who loves and respects you and who puts you above a mobile phone!

Do not sell on your ticket! The organisers have cracked down on re-sales and will basically cancel your ticket if you do so!

Try and find a bit of cash and go - maybe your friends can help you out. I think Glasto is the best place to get over a relationship breakup!

i would like to say thank you to all of you who have posted here. You've all made me feel better and it wasn't even my post. i have just split up with my ex who, yes you've guessed it!, sounds just like the chaps here (except for the affair bit). I can understand being attached because when it's great it's fab - but when it's horrible, it's very horrible.
i know that it's for the best and that i will feel better about it eventually. i think when you are with someone like that, it's very difficult to let go even when you know you ought to.
i am not going to miss the manipulation or the power struggle - although we are still trying to sort out money/stuff and we live next door to each other.
Seriously, i have wasted years. it doesn't get better. if yours keeps behaving like this then go, and let them deal with their own issues rather than dumping on you

To Little Pickle, London Girl and anyone else who has ever been treated badly by an unworthy partner (male or female) - remember you are a unique and wonderful person who deserves only the best!

You do NOT deserve to be belittled, lied to, cheated on, talked down to, patronised etc etc

It might not seem like it now but I'm sure in a short while life will be great again, remember all you friends (real and cyber) are here to help you make the very best of your life!

Well done Little Pickle for breaking up. Please whatever you do, don't let him talk you into feeding his ego again if there is no-one else handy for him. These type of men do seem to crawl out of the woodwork at odd intervals and especially if you are feeling a bit vulnerable or lonely.

You have done the hard part, now get on and enjoy your life. xx

having a terrible terrible day...
I can't stop crying.

Last night was awful. went home to pack my things. He came home three times looking for a fight. At one point he stole my wallet and keys.

He's gone of to Glastonbury - already there... he still had time to send me 2 nasty text messages whilst he was driving down. I didn't reply to either.

My Dad drove all the way to our flat in London and loaded his car up with my stuff. he then drove me back to thier home and I'm now living in their spare room until I can save up for a deposit on a rental.

dad wants me to do a week intensive driving course and get it out of the way before I leave home again. I may do this, but travel to work from my parent's house in 2 hours each way and I want to be out of there as soon as possible and get on with it. As long as I am there I am living out of a suitcase and reminded EVERYDAY of why I am there.

I don't know what to do.
I wish I could eat. I can't stop crying.
Think I will go to Glastonbury tomorrow. A few of my friends are going and have nothing to do with him (and haven't since January of this year).

sorry for rambling

newcook

you are not rambling - its normal to feel like this for a little bit. big hugs to you - I hope you have a great weekend and get really p!ssed and have a good laugh!

LP - how easy would it be for you to change your number? Would you have to let a lot of people know? You need to cut this bloke out of your life so you can begin to feel better about everything. If you're on PAYG there are free sims that pop up in this thread from time to time.

I agree with your dad about the driving course - it'll give you something to do to help take your mind off things and it's a great skill to have.

Go to Glastonbury & enjoy yourself, knowing that you deserve to.
