He argued that sacrifice was beautiful and it was wrong to blame children for a mother\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
I agree I was an a****** for saying that, I didn\u2019t mean it, but it slipped out. But if I had children, I would want to be a part of their life, not some human incubator.<\/p>\n

He was shocked that I\u2019d break up with him over something we had previously agreed on. He couldn\u2019t believe I\u2019d break up with him over a single disagreement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Clearly he is the worst man to exist.<\/p>\n

When loving someone means losing yourself, sometimes the kindest choice is walking away.<\/p>\n
