In Summary
It's sad that people have to end their relationships because either they are not the same person they thought they were, or they couldn't tolerate each other's toxicity.
When you're sure that your partner is toxic, the only solution is therapy or counseling, and ultimately, divorce. Nothing matters more than peace of mind.
You may have noted that for most of the reasons above, the women were racist, narcissistic, abusive, selfish, and dishonest, showing no regard for their partners. You really can't share the same roof with people who don't have your best interests at heart.
We're glad the men did what they had to do to keep themselves and their loved ones (including children) safe from such torturous partners.
Imagine the MIL from hell who yelled in a child's face? Or the woman who threw a cat at her partner?
What about the woman who made her partner bleed after he'd just had oral surgery? I say, good riddance.
Here's hoping the torture is over.
