Small story time. I was in a very abusive relationship with an alcoholic, when I told him I was leaving , he was crying and all I could feel was relief. I was finally free from all the mental and emotional abuse. All the late nights where he’d come in drunk and insult and scream at me, it’s finally over.

Good for you! Went through a similar situation & had to fake sad to make it possible, as weird as that sounds. Enjoy the free!

Honesty is acceptable in those cases. "I'm not sad. Your drinking makes living with you a constant terror. It's a relief to say good-bye."

Though I would feel sorry for your inbox now

Always best to say GOOD RIDDANCE to BAD TRASH. Walk away, never look back.
MyPenisIsBiggerThanHis
Good riddance

He sounds exactly like my x gf. It's strange how it's easier to stay with the toxic one's longer.

I feel you. Got out of this kind of relationship a month ago. Living again

Is this me?? I was literally in the same situation girl lol. I literally fucking laughed when he started crying. Good on you for getting 1/2
westcoastwasted

Good for you! Sounds like you really didn’t need to pretend to be sad either.

Left my wife a few weeks ago. Nothing but relief and feel amazing. Dropping dead weight always feels good. Congrats!
bmcclan5
She was a raging alcoholic as well. Stay strong, the best is yet to come.
aDrugAddictThatIsntDeadInside
I was in the same boat. Don’t worry your life will get better.
ilookfuckingcool
I feel this so much, did the same thing a few years ago and never looked back...it was such a relief and I am.in such a better place now

Holy shit man. Same thing happened to me last night. It was the last straw. I just told him that I was done. It hurts, tbh, just because
AsteriaR
I've honestly never really been alone. But otherwise... You know. I just thought I was gonna marry him but... He had to drink again.
stzombie
Just went through the same but with swapped genders last year. Broke things off with a drunk, abusive gf. Felt so good to be done and out.
DUCKFORABUCK
Live your best life OP! Congrats!!

I just left my own abusive BF. On my birthday, no less. Power to us.
GingerLaird
Hopefully he gets into AA and gets his shit straight.
Octopoussey
He has denied his alcoholism for the two years ive been with him. Dont think its happening anytime soon

They all do. Until that one day they don't. Not saying you should stick around and wait for it to happen ofc.

Best of luck. I did the same back in June of 2018. She cheated and I got the fuck out. Alcoholics are tough.
westcoastwasted
June of 2018 seems to be a significant point for people to stop giving a fuck. That's when I broke things off too.

As a guy that literally JUST had a breakup... Laura? Is that you?
Octopoussey
Nope
CrackerAisle
Well, apparently we're both Canadian. And there's only like 100 people in Canada so I figured it was possible.
Octopoussey
Hahahaha
oumajgad
So... you're both single?
dmex
And in the same country!
Corin
Wait, did you just lowkey admit to being an abusive alcoholic?
PardusXY
PTSDisLikeaTumor
Wasn't lowkey at all
oumajgad
Good for him. That's a major step towards not being one.
0neEyedspanky
Im in the same situation only im 7 months pregnant. Its hard but i have to leave him.
ghostwriter2030
Did they all become alcoholics after the pregnancy?
PoOtEr144
Wishing you the best! My sister did the same, with her newborn baby. You don't want to raise a child around that disfunction. You got this!

If thats not motherly instinct idk what is

If you are in PHX AZ and need help moving, let me know and I will be there.

People like you should repopulate the earth.
shatzenyxboomer
I got my own problems, I just really dislike abusive men and I have a soft spot for single moms(raised by one) so I always try to help.
AudleyEnuff
Please leave. I know it's hard but please, go. Because when baby comes he'll likely pick on them instead since they're more vulnerable.
QueenSavcy
Almost everyone regrets staying in an abusive situation. But no one ever regrets leaving.
DanFendi
I wish I had something other than moral support for you. :/ sounds like you're on the right path!
YouDunFckedItUp
My sister has a 2 year old and won't leave her abusive babydaddy... 5 times he's broken up with her, but she keeps going back to him... 1/2
YouDunFckedItUp
After two years of dealing with all that, it makes me happy to see someone who knows when to walk away :)
applemagpie
A friend of mine left her relationship while pregnant. She says it's hard sometimes to be a single parent, but it was the best thing she did
PouncyKarmaKitty
Leave. If not for you than for your baby. You don’t want that for your baby.
BurmGirl37
Get your ducks in a row and leave. Easy to say, but hard to do IRL. Your baby doesn’t need to have him as a model of a dad
petdesoeur
i dont think the baby will need this dad but at least a male face is needed. i didn't have one and its a big drawback
papayaofthesun

Please do. I waited too long, and he nearly killed me. It's hard, but you can do it, if not for yourself, then do it for the baby. Trauma 1/
MsNikkeh
In utero does effect the baby, even if it's just yelling. Your stress levels matter to the development of the brain.
HarryDresdenIsMySpiritAnimal
You will be doing yourself, your baby, and possibly even him a huge favor. This might be the kick he needs to quit. You definitely need to.
spiko999
Same situation as in you're acting out being sad?
0neEyedspanky
Not the sad part. Just being in a shitty abusive relationship
Weelpzbit
Get out!! You don't want your child to be subjected to that bullshit.
glear
Do you plan to get child support from him?
0neEyedspanky
No. He’s not worth it.
goldfishcrackersbetweentheseats
If you have even a sliver of a desire to leave there are many places that help, in most areas.
0neEyedspanky
I have a cousin who is a social worker. She’s going to let me live with her
Octopoussey
I can’t even imagine , hang in there, if you want to talk don’t hesitate
0neEyedspanky
Im been afraid of him for so long. Im tired of feeling this way. Im getting help from a cousin to leave.
joyisbetter
Stay safe. People can become violent. Never be afraid to have police to help you get your things. Congrats on finding your strength.
therealbardman
I think the point is that they are not going to hang in there.
