What made you realise your girlfriend isn’t the one for you?

Okay, I just broke up with my bf this past weekend because I couldn't handle the explosive anger. It would come out of nowhere because he wouldn't talk to me about things, or it would happen because he was drinking. I've tried to bend over backwards to help him learn to trust and changed what I'd say to not upset him and it didn't matter. He erupted this weekend, accusing me of flirting with his brother because I watched him walk out of the kitchen for "too long" so I ended it right there. My heart is breaking but I'm also aware that I think I've been putting up with some low-key abusive behaviours. He has some really great qualities that I am and will continue to miss but I can't keep doing this anymore.
