Hi all
No, not all woman are like that, but I am at a point in my new life after a 22 year miserable marriage to a Psychiatrists dream, I have come to terms with my part in that relationship. I put up with it, enabled it, rationalized it, but knew deep down something was terribly wrong with her.
Interesting that the woman who moved into your house and refused to move out, drew up tears and, I’m sure, a cock in bull story rather than leave and move on. My ex treated me like a POS, and actually enjoyed (smiled wide) telling me about her BF….It’s still hard to explain, but it was if she had been repressed all these years and was pleased to hurt me. I asked her to give it time and see what happened. She refused (big smile) “I’m moving on with my life.” She actually told me that I was so sad because for the first time she was standing on her own two feet….. I was still taken by surprise, but had the presence of mind to tell her “it’s about eff’ing time.”
Then, the very day of our divorce, all the things I asked her to consider: giving it time. Kick the can down the road. Telling her I felt like it was just a wrong thing” all came back to me in her own voice. Almost word for word.
She actually said “If you really love me, you’ll do the right thing.”
Ladies and Gents, it all became clear, and I divorced her.
Keeping my eyes and ears open is best thing I could do for myself at the age of 54. They are all out there and it takes real guts to see it and walk. They call it “baggage.” I call it being self aware.
