Throw away here. I(36m) made this account to document my journey out of the current relationship I am in. Previously married for seven years. Was a man(single) for only 6 months until I got into this. Been in two year relationship and live together.
Should have listened to my buddy 18 months ago when he said, "she is not the one"

Thank you guys for sharing your stories. It really opened my eyes to the constant shit and degradation I have become accustomed to in this relationship. The other day gf goes to Costco, drives around parking lot and cant find a spot, gets frustrated and comes home. She is all worked up so naturally an argument about some petty bullshit started. I knew this was stemming from her parking lot episode so I remained pretty rational and calm. Don't know what she said to make me pop, but I said "Fuck you." Fast forward an hour. We pass each other in the living room and she guilts me about how my words really hurt her and she would like an apology. I apologized, but then asked if she understood that this all started from her frustration in the parking lot. She said yes, but that was it. In the 2 years we have been together, I have had to apologize for so many trivial things it boggles the mind. She has apologized to me twice for accepting she was a bitch on occasion. Wednesday - I wake up early and start doing laundry and get my morning going like I usually do with a couple chores sprinkled in. By this time I had found r/MGTOW and the wheels were turning in my head. The first four full statements out of her mouth that morning where either criticisms or complaints about shit I was in the middle of finishing. "Why are the blankets sitting on the couch?" Cause I just pulled them out of the dryer and have yet to fold them.

After that morning I knew I had become satisfied with pushing my dreams aside to have a co-habitation girlfriend. That was the end point for me. Fuck this. I'm out. I will post again after the conversation with her. I haven't been able to yet cause she works first shift and I work second so we haven't seen each other since then.

So again, thank you guys for your stories. Some of you guys have some hate/anger issues to work through which is abundantly clear, but your heart is in the right place. Keep it up.
