3 His failure to take responsibility. He’d leave things half finished or undone — for example he had several years he “forgot” to pay his taxes. It cost nearly a thousand dollars to file those late years. Yeah, yeah — I paid for the filing although I never took care of the bill he owes the IRS. That’s his problems. We’re no longer together. It’s probably still owed.

What assholes. It’s terrible to see what a pushover I was. No more!! That my new motto. No more.
