Search Results: money or happiness

I broke up with my boyfriend of nearly three years today.

We have had a tumultuous, on and off relationship because he spent the first two years being indecisive, deceitful, sneaky, shady, and bringing his past relationship baggage to our new relationship. He has spent most of his time being a leech that greedily sucks the positivity and happiness from my life with his parasitic nature. I have stayed loyal out of love and hope within him as a man but my heart cannot forget the betrayal. He's stabbed me in the back over seven times of which include emotional cheating, letting other men disrespect me, and manipulating cops/outright lying to them while he made himself look like a victim after putting me through a year of his horrible personality.

Fast-forward: He’s fallen madly in love with me, says I have changed him and made him a better man, and wishes to start fresh and spend his life with me. It’s too late. There’s already a disgust in my soul that I can’t seem to get rid of no matter how loyal I am and how much I mentally try to move forward. It was so bad that I didn’t even want to look at his face today. All I could think of was him being two-faced and his d*ck pumping in and out of some random p*ssy. I didn’t want to be fake and spend his money on dinner so I honestly told him how I feel. It resulted in me leaving him.

Do you think I did the right thing? Why or why not?
