This isn’t another relationship advice thread, but Friday evening a day before my birthday the gf said we should maybe be friends, and I need to be strong enough to understand that whilst she feels this way I need to just treat her as I would any other friend. Explained to me that she doesn’t know what she’ll feel like in the future but for now friends is all it is.

Nah.. After thinking on it for a few hours, I went to sleep on the sofa woke up and on my Birthday of all days I told her that if all she wants is friendship, then I’m walking out the door and I’m going to move on with my life. To be honest, I used this as a perfectly good excuse to just up and leave. It was the kick I finally needed.

She looked very angry, and you know what… I really don’t care. The whole relationship was trouble from the very beginning. My mum and quite a few around me didn’t like her, or didn’t understand why we were together. She was at one time obese, fair enough she did shed some of the excess weight, but she sure made me feel guilty about the whole situation etc etc… That’s another story.

I simply grabbed all my stuff, I’d already got my house keys from her (we did in fact have two houses – thankfully) filled my car up with my gear etc, and pretty much walked away and felt so much better for it…

This should have been done months ago, talk about un-healthy relationship. Didn’t stop her from sending me a fairly poisonous and abusive email a day later, but just goes to show how messed up she really was. I always thought it was me that had the issues, but you know, it wasn’t. She was so unhinged, number of times I had to post on here as something had gone wrong, thinking it was me…. Granted, I’d maybe behaved inappropriately at times, but I think I understand why now. We were never meant to be.

I don’t know why she said lets be friends and then be angry for my decision to cut all contact, what did she expect? I’d rather cut all ties then remain friends with a girl who wants me to hang around as a buddy who I’d shared intimacy with. Regardless of feelings, I ditched all her numbers and deleted every single message and if she’s around how can I move on properly? What she wanted to take a timeout and hope feelings returned later? I don’t know, guess I’ll never know but I’m glad its happened.

They say funny how they want to be friends the moment they rip your heart out. Sadly, my heart wasn’t ripped out I was in fact relived she provided me the kick I need to ditch the *****.

I honestly don’t know what I ever saw in that girl. As a person, she was ok, but as a partner to me, truth told it was hell, a hell of our own making. Thankfully its over, but I hope she finds herself a guy who’ll be more suitable and more supportive to her, as in a way, I can’t begrudge her that.

If she's asking to be just friends, she already has :-)

Women, especially fat ones, don't end relationships until they've got another lined up.
 
I know the feeling of being in a very similar situation (but fortunately without the complication of living together) but it does feel good to just break clear of it all. If you can see it clearly now then it sounds pretty definite it's for the best. Good luck moving on fella, sounds like you're on the right track already.
 
Well it sounds like you are quite the happy chappy now :) good for you, I dont understand girls that say they just want to be friends then get peeved when you dont, but to be fair i have delievered that line a few times myself :(

Good time to do it with new year just around the corner, new year new start and all that!

Whenever I've delivered it myself it's usually meant "I want to keep bumping uglies until I find something else". The ex's that I have ended up being friends with I cut all contact with initially.
 
Once they say they want to go on a break or try being friends they are obviously bored of you or aren't commited anyhow.

Getting out of there was the right thing to do, and now you can move on!

I’d love to post the email, erm I deleted it sorry guys. It was rather good, lots of you’re a liar, and the biggest actor going, and she feels sorry for my next victim and how I’ve been on dating sites and going out with other woman behind her back.

I have no idea where she got those ideas from, I created a plenty of fish profile Saturday afternoon, but come on… I was free, and I can do pretty much what I please. Anyhow, its her delusions and if I’m creating online profiles after a few hours of us finally splitting – then what does that really tell you?

Oh, I was called a ****** idiot, she was right about me etc etc…. Nah, forget it I mean no need to send emails like that. Bitterness and scorned, like its been mentioned. I maybe ruined her moment. Guess she thought I’d hang around and become a lackey. No thank you very much.

The relationship had one benefit. It was over three years of experience. I have a much better understanding of what a good and bad relationship is about, how important attraction both mentally and physically really is, how above all else I’ve walked out a stronger and more educated man about life….

I have to be thankful for that, taking the positives out of what happened..
 
Once a fatty, always a fatty! In her middle ages she would return to 'the bad old days'. If only for this reason, you made the right choice :D.

:)

@OP - Well done! Maybe some other GD readers should take inspiration from you instead of posting their 'what will I do - girl related' type threads.
