I finally did it!

I finally dumped the jerk after putting up with hell for 3 months. I told him he was an alcoholic, that he treats me like garbage, he humiliates me, and enough's enough! I deserve so much better! It felt so good to finally tell him. I asked him why he was always so mean to me, why he was never affectionate, never touched or kissed me. Want to know just how shallow of a person he is? He told me the whole reason he wasn't was because I have hair on my arms, and it grossed him out! That he doesn't like women to have ANY hair ANYWHERE except on their head. I said, "Are you f---ing kidding me!?!" Done.

Anyway, the next morning we ended things over the phone. He did apologize, but agreed we were not meant to be. You can't imagine how relieved I feel, now that it is finally over.

What's really funny, is the following night I went out and ran into a few of his friends. Two of them asked for my number, said that Troy was crazy for letting a girl like me go. Flattering, but I'm not dating any of his friends. I never thought guys would date their friend's ex, I always thought that was pretty rude.

Anyway, thanks for all the past advice. I just wanted to share the news. I can finally move on!!

What a cop out! Good for you for moving on. I can relate about the ex's friends. I've had two of my ex-fiance's friends ask me out. One of them said "Well, she's dating one of your friends, so why can't we date?"

My response was that I'm not that kind of person. Friends don't do friends, period. Maybe some do, but if so they never were a friend worth having.

Here's the two best pieces of advice I've received since my broken engagement:
Number One- Nothing changes if nothing changes
Number Two- Listen to what your gut tells you
