Kinda Had A Mini-Meltdown This Weekend...

Backstory: XH is bipolar & it's definitely not under control. He's like Jekyll & Hyde & I never know who I'm going to get when I talk to him.

Friday night, XH & his brother came by our house to get the rest of his stuff. He acted like an ass, so I pretty much just ignored him. Not shockingly, he didn't get all of his stuff & needed to come back the next morning. I said that was fine & didn't argue.

The next morning, when he was finishing up, he said "Well, I guess this is goodbye." I shrugged & reminded him that we still had a house to sell because I felt like he was being a little over dramatic. We stood talking for a few minutes & ended up hugging. We both started crying & he told me he's always going to love me & none of this was ever about not loving me (which I know).

It just made me so sad. What happened to the man I loved? Why did he have to brake us? Why didn't he put in the effort to make our marriage work? Why isn't love enough?

Granted, I know that I'm better off & I'm happy that I've moved on... It was still sad though. I saw a glimpse of the man I loved & it hurt.

  • Ugh this sounds rough.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.  I hope you don't need to have any communication with him from now on aside from the house.  A clean break is what you need to really move on.  ((hugs))

  • Sorry I understand how your feeling. My ExH has a way of making me feeling very guilty over what happened. Not to mention nostalgic for what we once had.  

    I've found that it helps to re-visit my feelings the next day or remind myself of all the crap he's done to me.

    YES. I immediately reminded myself of all the reasons I left. It just sucked because for five minutes, he acted like the man I loved.

    Thankfully from here on out, our realtor will be handling everything & I won't even have to see him at closing! Yay!
