I am the dumper and I have gone no contact. It's hard
We weren't together for long. We met and got on really well he made me laugh and together we had fun we could just be us.
I work shifts and he works a regular 7am to 1500 five days a week. From the start he was honest about his past relationships and his upbringing.
He wanted all my time. If I wasn't at work I should have been with him. He got upset that I didn't call so I changed that. He wanted me to call in the morning when he was driving to work. On his lunch break and when he was going home. He was understanding in the sense if I was at work I couldn't call but would stay up so that I could call on my break.
I made an effort when I had a weekend off and we went away together but he knew from day one my dog had to be with me and he was great with him until in the morning I allowed him on the bed and got up in a mood.
He wanted a lot of sex which was ok and when I was on my period I ensured he was satisfied however the breaking factor was one morning he asked for sex and I said no because time was limited. He threw another tantrum and said he needed to go to work. He then complained that we hadn't had sex in "ages" I reminded him we had, had sex the previous day he said that it didn't count because I was just coming off my period. I called it a day and he became quite harsh verbally then he told me it was all his fault. I tried to keep it healthy he then became annoyed with me again said it was all my fault. I initiated no contact.
I am sad because he was actually a really sweet guy around all the other stuff but this was potentially super controlling and not safe I do miss him though
