“Smothered in my sleep”
My boyfriend and I had been together for about three years with the last year being really rocky. One night I woke up to find him laying on top of me. In his sleep, he had rolled over onto my side of the bed and was smothering me. I realized that was just another symptom of how selfish and oblivious he was to my needs.

Aftermath: I continued to try to make things work for another couple of months. I finally made a clean break when he told me he was sleeping with someone else but that we could continue to sleep together as long as I didn’t confuse it with us being in a relationship. I changed my locks, sold his clothes and left the state for a week. We never spoke again.
