My detachment from my ex became a self determination to say 'I am not going to listen to you speak to me like that'. He would carry on, as he was of an abusive nature to which I would say none emotionally 'go away I'm not interested in what your saying', next time I would not react to him.

He would usually then try to be all sweet with me, to which I would still ignore, then finally storm off in a major temper throwing on a few bad names toward me, hoping to finally ignite my anger. It took all my strength to ignore him.

However I had gotten to the point where I was no longer prepared to live with abuse and was planning on splitting with him.

Why do you want to stay with a man, who is unable to love you without simultaneously causing you emotional, mental and sometimes physical pain?
