I think its easier if you have only been going out with someone for a couple of months, but say over 6 months or more it gets harder.
I dumped my ex husband of 4 years, on holiday in Spain. (Just before our holiday i had found out some really, really bad s*** things about him, things that he had done before i had met him).
As the holiday was booked, and we were going with friends i decided to go as i didnt want to let them down.
I was totally confused! and once i was out there i couldnt relax! (It was there my ex hubby admitted to doing the things i had heard about him).
I decided at around 10pm one night that i was going to leave my ex and come home to the UK, where i knew Ian was waiting for me. (Ian at the time had been a good friend and a shoulder to cry on).
I got a cab and stormed off to the airport, i bought a ticket and my flight was booked for 6.30am the following morning.
I had to sit on a bench all night outside the airport, as it closed at midnight! My ex had followed me. He sat with me, and pleaded allnight long for me not to leave him, and how sorry he was, and how he would try and make it up to me?..
It was one of the hardest things i had ever had to do, he had never directly done anything wrong to me? He was 20 years older than me, i was 24 at the time.
At 6am i turned to my ex, i gave him a peck on his cheek, and went back into the airport and boarded my plane, i never turned back to look at him, or say goodbye.
Ian met me at Heathrow airport along with a crowd of friends that cheered me as i came through the gates.
I went home and packed all my ex's belongings up, and ian threw them in my front garden! 2 weeks later when my ex hubby returned home, he was horrified, and really hurt! he would of taken all kinds of s*** to get me back! He came around to my house everyday for a month, begging me to take him back, promising me the world!
But i knew i was doing the right thing. I couldnt help feeling sorry for him. He would cry and i would cry with him! But in the end, it wasnt fair on any of us, so i put a stop to it. I have never seen him since.
(I do know he only got seven years for the crimes he committed before he met me, and is listed on the national paedophile register).. That was 16 years ago.
