  • Am I the bad guy for leaving without warning and refusing to pay $4,000 after my ex broke up with me knowing it was my dealbreaker?

    My ex and I were together for over a year. Things started well. We traveled, made future plans, talked about marriage and kids. I even moved out of state to live with him. Then we signed

  • a lease together on a second apartment in another state that we hadn't yet moved into. I loved him and genuinely believed we were building something real.

  • I'll be honest.,I wasn't perfect. The relationship was stressful and I wasn't always at my best. But looking back I think a lot of that was a response to an environment where I never quite felt safe or settled. He could be warm

  • and loving one minute and then something would shift completely out of nowhere. The whiplash was constant and I found myself walking on eggshells without fully realizing it.

  • He broke up with me once before due to a reaction I had to something he caused. Afterward I told him clearly. This is my line. If this ever happens again that's it. He heard me. He understood. Things seemed okay.

  • Then a few weeks ago it happened again. Out of nowhere. I asked him a simple question about a social media video and he responded by breaking up with me and telling me I was "unfit to be a mother." I was completely blindsided.

  • I asked for a week of space. He went to his family's home. I used that time to reflect, get clear, and make the decision to move out. He came home to find me gone.

  • I've asked myself many times if I should have handled it. differently. Given more warning, had a final conversation. But every time I tried to have a direct conversation it would spiral into something unrecognizable. It didn't feel safe.

  • For broader context. Throughout the relationship he presented a prenup my attorney confirmed was legally unsound and exploitative. He made false accusations that I was gold digging, secretly using birth control

  • He picked apart everything about me. My age, intelligence, friends, family, fertility, career and finances. He deliberately made my birthday painful and couldn't manage a greeting card on three separate holidays despite

  • knowing how much I value them. I'm also currently dealing with a serious issue throughout all of this. On the financial situation. Our arrangement was that he covered apartment costs while I covered household expenses like groceries. He

  • personally put down the full deposit and first month on the new apartment. We never moved in. The lease has already been settled with the real estate agent. She kept a portion to cover her commission and returned $1,000 to him. He didn't have

  • to move anywhere or do anything. He stayed in our current place. What he's now sending me is a personal $4,000 Apple Cash request asking me to reimburse him for money he chose to put down under our agreed financial arrangement, on a lease for a relationship he chose to end.

  • I've blocked him. It feels peaceful. But I'm still asking myself if I did the right thing. AITA for leaving the way I did? And am I wrong to refuse the $4,000?
