Ladies: how did you know it was time to break up with your bf (ex bf)? How did you do it?

I broke up with him after being together for two and a half years. I’d known he had a history with drugs but I believed that he was sober and just paying off some fines. He was responsible about it at first, but then he started “accidentally” forgetting to check in with his probation officer or he would miss court dates and he would go to jail for about a month. The first time, I let it slide. The second time, we were planning a trip and we cancelled the hotel and car and used that money to pay to have the warrant go away. This event occurred four months before the wedding and I realize now that I dodged a huge bullet. When I told him I was done, he blew up. He confessed to taking Oxycontin for 75% of our relationship. He had a key to my apartment and threatened to go there and kill my dog while I wasn’t home. Less than a month later he went inpatient for mental illness and then immediately to jail for violating his probation and I haven’t seen him since. Got the key from his mom while he was gone and got the locks changed just in case he’d made a copy.
