Beyond endurance?

Hi! everyone.
Could you rephrase the sentences below correctly or they are correct as is?
He has gone beyond my endurance.
He has crossed the limits of my endurance.
What I mean to say through this sentence is that-:He has upset me so much that I can't tolerate him anymore.
Thanks!

He has crossed the limits of my endurance. Although it is grammatically correct, the sentences are not semantically natural. In natural English, when someone has done something beyond most people's ability to tolerate, we say he has crossed the line.

  • He has crossed the limits of my endurance.
  • Although it is grammatically correct, the sentences are not semantically natural.
  • In natural English, when someone has done something beyond most people's ability to tolerate, we say he has crossed the line.
  • the connoted messaged is understood.
  • "Endurance" n my opinion is not the correct choice of word.
