Broke up with girlfriend
Well that's that done. She completely lost it at me, one second calling me a drunk and then saying I think I'm better than people for not drinking. Saying she slept with my friend (she might have done, to be honest I don't care, I never liked the guy anyway), that I owe her money for birthday gifts etc. Had to threaten to call the police to get her to leave.
My brother is sorting out bringing her stuff over so I don't have to deal with it. I feel less sad than I thought, I think the viciousness of her response made me realise I made the right decision. It was like that bit of star wars (the new, terrible ones) where the emperor starts talking all weird and goes all dark side with red eyes and crumpled skin.
She said I was boring now I'm sober, but I'd rather be boring and alive.
Me and my brother are going to Alton Towers now, because why the hell not?
Tom.

Getting rid of toxic people is a very important part of improving your life and finding some kind of stability and happiness. You should be proud of yourself for taking this step. You owe her money for birthday gifts? What? Never heard that one before.

Good call, TTT.
I broke up with a crazy one and he wanted a light fixture back. He had been staying here every night for a while and had bought one...at Ikea.
On the phone he says, "Any lawyer in the world will tell you that you have to give it back."
My reply, "So get a lawyer for your $30 light."
So ridiculous.

people are ridiculous aren't they? LOL
But it must be a relief knowing that you made the right decision and her psycho response just clinched it for you. It'll make it a little easier to walk away sans baggage.
good luck to you
one less dead weight to lug around!

I remember once when I broke up with a toxic ex (this went on and on for just under 5yrs) ...he said to me he wanted money back for all the beers/wine/dinners he had paid for over the years.
LMAO. I asked him if he had a lil pad that he was tracking all this on. What a piece of work. People say/do ridiculous things when hurt or caught off guard.
You def. did the right thing.

During my problem drinking years, I had a long-term relationship with another alcoholic who was in denial about it and about many other problems. It was a very difficult, crazy, and addictive relationship, not all of it bad at all, but caused both of us a lot of turmoil. We never had a formal break up for a good while, I just gradually detached myself, also moved a few states away from him in the end. There were a few "relapses" though. He never wanted it to end but I just could not live with the insanity even though I was still drinking. In the end I gathered the courage to put an end to it and cut all communication with him. Took me another couple years to sober up... He still contacts me sometimes, just did this week, for example, but I never respond. As far as I know he's still a drinker and has not changed much in his life. No way I am revisiting it in any shape or form (I would not even if I knew he quit drinking) and I feel very relieved that it's 100% over also in my mind now. It was a very hard cycle to break for me even mentally, after our separation, and I'm so glad I've succeeded.
You did the right thing, please don't look back!

Would you not go on Jeremy Kyle and try work it out with her?
Kidding!!!!!!!!!
Never look back!!! And don't take her back out of pity!!!! Once it's over it's over!! Can't understand people who break up and get back and break up and get back......once one person breaks up it's gone for good, only a waste of time getting back.
