His past of abuse. It was so hard because the most horrible things imaginable had been done to him, and no one cared. I felt like I was cradling a priceless vase glued together by a two-year-old. His pain was my pain.

My ex was trying to be intentionally hurtful (it was at the bitter end). He was basically saying I could do no better than him. That I was "past being prime" & anyone who said different was lying just to get sex. "I remember you in your prime. You could melt concrete. You can't do that anymore. You aren't prime. You're past it."

In that relationship 17 years, it took me less than 6 days to move & I didn't take time off from work to do it. Within 10 months of my leaving, he had lost everything. Karma is a bitch & sometimes you do get a front row seat to see come uppance.

She left me with a joke...
"What do you get when you mix fruit, nuts, dough, and a yew tree?"
"I give up, what?"
"YOU FRUITCAKE!"
I am convinced she did not have the brain to cook that one up herself.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing to eat in my refrigerator. I hate that.

X husband " I'm never holding that thing! I didn't want it!" Said to me in the delivery room moments after I have birth to his daughter.

Is not you it's me.

She told me she had a "better offer" and see you later, it was fun. Bit of a shock.

Ex wife: That her wants come before our kids needs and that she married me so she wouldn't have to work again
Love of my life: That she had only slept with my replacement a few times while we were together
Best friend: That she would leave me if she believed another guy would be a better lover
Last relationship. I spent 3 years full time preparing this lady for a liver transplant and nursing her through it, 24/7 in the hospital. We had split years before and she took a house off me but I still helped her through as she had no-one else. She admitted that if I needed any such help I would be on my own, she wouldn't do it.
They are the only actual relationships I have had, being unattached is safer though I still would like to have had a really mutual relationship.

First boyfriend told me he "sometimes gets grossed out looking at my thighs." Granted I am pear shaped and tend to carry my weight in my hips and thighs. BUT I only weighted 120# at the time! I've never really been self confident anyways and that devastated me. Then I met my ex, the best compliment I ever got out of him was "you look nice." Thanks, mediocre is what I was going for.

My dad had a week or so left to live b/c he was dying of cancer. My husband told me he wanted me to have a baby after we built a marriage on no kids. He told our pastor he didn't want them.
