13 Things that make me glad to say Good-bye

Here we go again, I hear you saying as you click on READ MORE, EasyToSay has gone mad.  She's finally lost the plot.  She warned us she's got PMT, and she's realised it is almost 12 months since her marriage died in the arse........ well these are a few things I want to say outloud... because these things hurt me and I want to set them free....... I actually may add to this ... but here goes...

1. He didn't pick my engagement ring.  Infact I chose it, I layby'd it and I picked it up... and the ONLY bit he was involved in was proposing with it

2. He called our wedding off 8 weeks before we were supposed to get married (the first set date).... as I sat on the floor happily putting our wedding invites in their envelopes he calmly told me he didn't want to marry me.

3. When we did finally get married, it was on his terms - a cocktail stand up wedding ... and our wedding song that he picked ....was by U2 - "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" ... He thought this was hilarious.  And he refused to do the bridal waltz.

4. On our honeymoon, he took his surfboard, and checked the waves every day before he'd committ to doing something together!

5. When I had to have minor surgery to remove a cyst in my breast, and I was freaking out because my Grandmother died from Breast cancer, he wouldn't re-arrange his on-the-road sales job to take me to hospital, did not visit me during my brief stay, and was not available to pick me up when I was "released"!  (btw - thank goodness It was benign).

6.  He only came to ONE of each of my doctors appointments/ultra sounds when I was pregnant with our children, and that was only so he could make sure I didn't find out the sex, which he was dead against.
(I found out the sex of our second child .... and to this day that is the ONLY thing I've kept from him!)

7. He used to remain up the "footy" club drinking with the guys, often not coming home until the wee hours.... The few times I stayed up there with him he would refuse to stand talking to me, instead he'd flirt with the single girls at the bar.

8.  One night I got so drunk at one of his footy events I had to go home.... instead of staying home with me, he dropped me there and went out with the guys. I was a mess.... vomitting in the TAXI!!!! Ha ha ... I can laugh now.

9.  When I was feeling sad, and out of control after the births of both children (a bit of post-natal depression), He went to Golf .. on both occassions.  Golf was more important than helping me cope.

10. When we watched TV, I had to wait for the ads before I was allowed to ask questions about his day, or discuss any challenges I was facing..... we never sat at night enjoying each others company.  If there was nothing on TV instead of turning it off he'd play a DVD.

12. He would refuse to speak to me if I didn't want to "make love/ have sex" with him.... once he even carried this into the next day.  Telling me I made him soooo mad!

13. He cheated on me, he lied to me ... he still lies to me.

as a guy who hs been single for a painfully long time, it confuses the hell out of me how it is that guys like that get the nice girls, umm get any girl for that matter.

At least your pmt brings out a pretty thoughtful and self contemplative side. kinda like biult in monthly therapy :)

He is a real JERK! I can't believe you went through all of his crap! I hope JS gets to experience all of the A** that he is because you deserve better!

I have lost all respect for FOTY.... You are way to good for him... You'll get your chance, don't worry. He's gonna regret those things one day. Maybe you should send a copy of those to JS in a Thank You card. Thanks JS for doing me a great favor!! Have a great weekend!

Wow, he was much more of a loser than I originally thought. Just plain mean. I thank God, he left. He didn't deserve you. I loved this post and it's a great idea to write about the nasty bits. Great therapy. XXX

Fairplay for finally saying all of the above, and forgive me for saying this,but if this was his attitude quite early on, why didn't you realise your own self worth and dumped him when he started being a dick?I know its easier said than done and you dont totally regret it as you have kids and im sure you wouldn't change them, I just know if my boyfriend showed those tendencies early on, out of the door he woulda been. Still, hope you got your revenge and impotency approaches him soon

SouthernSun - you are soooo right, I should have woken up earlier, I think about that alot. But I didn't and in the end he walked away not me (after 10years of marriage & 10 years of "dating" off and on).

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and I know better now :)
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated.... everybody included

Donot worry, you are finally free of this energy vacuum/massive wanker.
It is not always easy to see these people for what they are early on, but really you are in the best place possible now- as far away from this relationship as possible.
Each time you feel down or unstable- think to the most humiliating moment of this awfulness, and laugh- because you have had the strenght to walk away.
The place you are walking to is a beautiful one, if you leave the wanker behind!!!
Love and best wishesxxxx

When people show you who they are ...
BELIEVE THEM.

I know ... you have heard that quote from me before. But it so fits this post. When reading your posts I often wondered what FOTY was like during your marriage. Thanks for giving us some insight into your time with him. He actually sounds like a few of the men I know. My sister went through cancer totally alone. Her husband refused to drive her or go with her to her chemo treatments and doctor appointments. My parents took her and then when my Mom became ill I took over. At her very last treatment my sister's husband went with her ... proud as a peacock. My sister is still with him:( His demeaning, snide, sarcastic comments make him very unpopular with the rest of the family. His ways not only affect my sister, but her daughter as well.

All things work together for good. JS has done you a tremendous favor. Your soul mate is on the way. A man who will treat you like royalty and appreciate, respect and love the special amazing person you are. Thanks to JS you will be free (when he arrives) to pursue a happily ever after relationship. Peace.

p.s. I know my comments have been a little scarce of late, but I read every one of your posts. I so enjoyed the posts on your vacation. I'm not familiar with your part of the world so really appreciated the links and hearing all about your time away. Thanks for sharing yourself with all of us.

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for"???? As a wedding song? WHAT A TOTAL A-HOLE. Not that the other items on your list served to redeem him. Good friggin riddance.
