My winning streak just keeps on growing!

I have been hearing people talk about their divorces, breakups and abandonments for decades.  And I have the distinct pleasure of ONLY knowing the person who was in the right in every single case!

It's always the other person who was crazy, drunk, sloppy, OCD, stoned, promiscuous, lazy, mean, hateful, stupid, gluttonous, fat, criminal or somewhat odiferous.

Stick with me, folks!  You're on the winning team, relationship-wise!

Why would anyone tell it any different?

It really depends on the people ...

I know of at least one case in which it was a bit like
- I think this is over
- yeah, makes sense, let's call this a day
- cool, 50-50?
- yeah.

That's how all of my relationships have ended basically.

I know plenty of people who have taken full responsibility for the breakdown of a relationship and of course I know plenty of people who are NEVER at fault for anything, ever!

I would.
... and it was very painful.

I really only dislike one of my major exs.  the other four I like just fine.  Holding grudges simply makes no sense.

I've never really had a "bad exit" to a relationship. I must be one of the lucky ones - we figure out it doesn't work, and stop seeing each other romantically.

Disclaimer : Not that my wife will see this, but it's been 4+ years since I've had a recent ex.

Oh it's definitely me, not them.

*I* actively dislike being lied to, bad hygene in my partner, and being sexually neglected and emotionally abused.
So since I'm not a good partner putting up with a boatload of crap, I though I'd do the husband(s) a favor by removing myself from a relationshit (sic).


The end.

Eta: if the fourth (!!) therapist/marriage counsellor gives you 'the look' (the "what are you doing with him still?" look), after 3 years of marital mind-rape, I don't feel like I abandoned anything but myself if I didn't take steps.

I date someone whose marriaged ended and he takes the blame. I have finally convinced him it wasn't all his fault. Now he says it's 75/25. Not everyone blames the other person.

Just don't ask me about MY ex. I could make your skin crawl and your belly churn with the things he has done.

i remember asking one ex what went wrong and she said something like "at first i really enjoyed coming to see you and then i didn't"

hard to argue with that.
