What made you straight up nope out of a relationship?

How about things that should have been red flags, but I was too naive to recognize?

Left notes on my car windshield when I was at work or a friend's house or the store.

It seemed sweet, but I realized later that was my significant other keeping tabs on me,

even when I didn't say where I was.

Would let me know how much a hitman cost

and that it was cheaper than you'd expect. Would tell me something and then later say that it was a

lie or a test, as though I should have figured that out instead of expecting the truth.

Expected me to answer every call and would get angry if I wanted to end the call first.

And lastly, complained about my

friends and family all the time, all of them. Apparently everyone I knew was manipulative and or rude.

I didn't figure out this was an attempt to isolate me until after we broke up. He had already shown

very jealous tendencies and had smacked me over the head because he thought I was looking at a guy, so it wasn't good already.

We were outside of his friend's house and his friend asked how I was doing, and he got mad at me for answering.

I just got in my car and drove away.

I kept having to call the cops to calm down my wife after she became addicted to a slew of prescription drugs.

I told her doctors that opiates for a ruptured vertebra, stimulants for ADHD,

Ambien for most nights to help her sleep, and an assortment of others for anxiety and depression,

and more to combat side effects, made her violent.

One of the times that I called the cops to calm

the situation down during a bad episode just made me cry. All he had to say was that he had already

been there and asked when it would stop. I thought I'd been holding things together reasonably well.
