i am sorry for not finishing reading the whole of your post because i just need to stop by the saying :”Financially, I made more money so I was the one always paying the bills and handling the everyday important things in our lives, while he just blew his minimal money that he made every week” then i can know partly how this man is. I am sorry for saying this but i think he had used you. you need to be thankful because now he cannot use you and you will never be hurt anymore.
there were so many guys breaking up with me, i was deeply hurt but now i am really appreciated for that. i thought if i had continued being with them, how my life was now? and how could i met good men and dated them. I always believe and remember Buddha’s saying:” To give up is to be happy”. ( I just translate from Vietnamese into English so hope you understand what i mean)

BE STRONG, BE HAPPY
