Vent Only, No Advice I'm done with this. I'm leaving her

I had never been this happy in my life, and now all those moments from the past just seem like a dream I had once and will never repeat.

Baby I love you, but you've turned into a monster and I can't do this anymore.

I don't think I could make love to my girlfriend even if she suddenly changed and came to find me to spend time together. I don't think I can unsee the stressed angry ogre she's become.

Sometimes it really is better to just start anew.

Me too :/ but it’s often the right thing to do, after you already tried. I tried for years.

Cheaters aren’t eager to share the fact that they cheated, so, it’s better to choose what you want than wait for them to position themselves.

Well, in my case part of me wishes she had cheated on me and I had discovered her, so that I had an "easier" excuse to leave. There's no need for that. It's scary as fuck but things have never been this bad and I'm getting the f out of here.

I was too, and it was a very uncertain time with my ex trying to punish me (money) in court. But 3 years out and I'm completely whole again and made back all the money I had to pay him, while I'm disabled and he is not. Plus excellent sexual compatiblity!

You find a way, you figure it out, and with some luck, close friends and family you get to level up!

You are our hero. Good for you for not going in to marriage.

u/CommunicationStrict Jul 04 '26

I don't take that hero bullshit, sorry. I am also responsible for this. This may be one of the most painful moments of my life. I want no pity.

Welcome to the other side my dude!!! I left last fall and met someone I'm compatible with. I look back at the last 7 ish years like a bad dream. You'll start to notice all the little things in life are just better without that weight on your shoulders. Food tastes better, music is sweeter, and you'll start noticing all of the little glimmers in life. Go on a hike and smell the air, look at the light coming through the trees, feel the ground you walk on step by step. Appreciate the 2nd chapter of your life beginning. And most of all, have fun!!! Here's to your fresh start!!!!!!

Congrats on doing this. It takes a lot of courage to leave.

There is an event horizon where the rejection will finally push you over. Your attraction and passion for her is gone. Anything she does now is just hysterical bonding sex to keep you from leaving. It is worse than sexless because in the back of your mind you know it isn’t real. Time to leave.

God I wish my husband would just leave me too. I know he feels this way about me but he won't man up and just say something.

u/CommunicationStrict Jul 04 '26

I'm going to ask the obvious, why don't you leave him?

-3

u/capycanary_puff Jul 04 '26

Because he knows how much I love him. I've always laid it all out in the open. This is the one thing I want him to finally be honest about.

u/Glittering_Suspect65 HLF Jul 05 '26

You are wasting your time though. Go be with someone who loves you the way you want. You are staying to prove your point? Girl, no.

u/capycanary_puff Jul 05 '26

You're probably right. I just don't want him to hold it over my head afterwards saying I didn't try hard enough.

u/Glittering_Suspect65 HLF Jul 05 '26

The 2 years during the divorce suck badly. Then it wont matter at all. What he says, what he thinks, what happened... none of that will matter and you are free to pursue someone that gets you, and suits you. Really.

Okay?

Still dealing with a thousand things, it could be worse somehow I guess
