Cheating was the last straw. Before that years of abuse, mostly emotional but on a few occasions physical. The cheating made me open my eyes and realize I deserve waaaay better and that I hadn't been happy in years anyway.
That is a personal decision. If you are unhappy and your relationship isn't salvageable pull away as soon as you can so you aren't stuck. My ex's attitude and neediness pushed me away.he also lied about losing his job. He was so attached me he would cry when I left to go back to my place. I was about to have a newborn and I didn't need to take care of his as$ too. He didn't trust me and would go through my mail/email and texts. It was unnecessary.

We had a pretty volatile relationship to begin with, but one day he attacked me in the car a few days after I found out I was pregnant. I put him out the next day although I was hoping that a separation would make him see the error of his ways. He only got worse. I finally cut off communication with him 3 weeks ago after he told me he wanted nothing to do with 'that' baby. Jerk
You'll know when you're done. But to answer your question: I found out my husband was living a separate life. It consisted of cheating and doing drugs. I was pregnant at the time but leaving him was the best thing I ever did.

This...My Ex was really abusive to me, and I never really realized it. I got a no contact order against him when he kept trying to contact me after I dumped his a$$. He told our son that he wasn't his father all the time, was really mean and controlling to him, and he hit me on multiple occasions. But when he cheated on me, I was done. It was the straw that broke the camels back(so to say). But since he has been gone, things are sooo much better. And its really sad to hear my 5 year old son, talk about how mean his dad was to him and me.
Thank you everyone for being so candid. I hate the way he talks to me and I don't want my daughter to see how he treats women. Frustrating. But I like what someone said that I will know when enough is enough.
Re: How did you decide to go single?
I didn't decide. He kicked us out.
But it was the best thing that could have happened to us
