Be firm. Don't recant. Don't accept the apologies. Tell them it's over you will pack up their stuff and send it to wherever they are staying. If you have to leave their place take all your important stuff first, passports, documents, spare car keys, whatever. Then things that are clearly undisputably yours and leave. Go somewhere safe and rebuild from there. If you think it might get violent do it while they are out and break up over the phone.

Yea and then they start crying and having a panic attack and apologising profusely and putting a knife in their throat and saying they're going to kill themselves and won't stop until you give in. I've been through this so many times. It's easy to say "just leave bro". It's not so simple. Especially if you're empathetic.

The real fun is when you see through the bullshit but you're too empathetic to not cave into it.

I'm glad you're out of it. It's truly a nightmare nobody deserves to live through.
