Has a significant other ever said something so incredibly mean

[Anonymous]

That you broke up with them?

[Anonymous]

yes, an ex boyfriend of mine called me ugly .

An ex BF told me if I broke up with him I wouldn't be able to get anyone else. I should have broken up with him then, but I hung around for more verbal abuse until I realized HE was the loser. Now married to someone who is very nice to me.

Yes. My husband is verbally abusive. I just filed for divorce.

Yes, college gf would say things like she could never love someone like
me and constantly point out guys she thought was better looking. And this was during a time that I was dealing with heavy family issues.

One day just never returned her calls and went cold turkey. Interestingly, from what I can figure out, she never married and still tries to get in touch every five years or so. My response is deafening silence.

"you should just find a new man to be the father of these children", spoken to me while very pregnant. With an oops baby he didn't want.

Yes, we are divorced.

My husband did after a traumatic brain injury. I put up with it for a month before I told him he needed to discuss it with his therapist or I was leaving. In sickness and in health is a really, really hard vow. Thankfully he went to therapy, changed his medications, and returned a new and better man.

Have a friend who is still married to the guy who calls her a 'stupid cunt' in front of their daughter...sigh...

My husband was verbally abusive while smoking pot. Fortunately he stopped, or I would have been gone.

I recently completed chemo and getting through the cancer wasn't difficult for my relationship, but I have lingering chemo brain. I basically forget things like an 80 year old with Alzheimers would. DH will say that I just don't care, I'm stupid, I'm delusional, etc and I have to remind him that I just honestly cannot remember. He's even come with me to see a neurologist and the oncologist to confirm that this is what's happening to me and not something more serious (first thought I had was it was a brain tumor and the cancer had spread and they missed it). I understand that it's frustrating for him, but it's frustrating for me too, especially since I feel like I get attacked every day for something out of my control. If things don't return to normal I believe I'll be divorced in the next year.

^^ I'm so sorry. Your dh just sounds like a jerk. Was he like that before the cancer? My exdh got more abusive (physically abusive) after a TBI from a car accident he caused under the influence. We're divorced but your situation is different. Forgetfulness is annoying to both of you, I'm sure, but falls way into the 'in sickness or in health.' I've seen other men behave badly when their spouses had cancer. Sometimes, they can't deal with it and do things, including having affairs, to distance themselves.

Sounds like there are some really petty people in the world. From both sexes. Why all the hurt? I just don't get it.

My parents had a dysfunctional marriage where they basically said anything and everything to each other in anger. The effect on sibling and myself was horrendous.

My husband called me a cunt on my birthday more than once. Not in a nice way. We are finally getting divorced.

A boyfriend once told me my sister was a better lay. He was lying but that was that.
