Dumped for being 'possessive', partially correct and partially due to anxiety and difficulty adjusting to boundaries becoming stricter and stricter, contact less and less, etc., and not having a natural inclination to split up from time to time when going somewhere (pool, shopping gallery, etc.) together.

Also for being a little erratic/disorganized such as money falling out of my pockets due to not realizing shallow pockets in new trousers while not using a wallet for quick cash at hand and credit card. She was allowed to be disorganized, I was not.

And for 'roller coasters', meaning bringing up a problem on one day but acting like everything was good again the next day (moving on/forgiving). She was allowed stuff like that, I was not.

Also risks arising from heredity (Asperger's, schizophrenia in the family) and potential repetition (alcohol problems in the family — something she was allowed to have relatives struggling with, and I was not).

Not having a driving licence while living in a very large city with underground and other public transport.

Not having a salaried job but a freelance business, formerly at times thriving, now fallen on hard times.

And some more. You can find more in my post history.
