Amazing how rewritten history starts to blend in with what was real as TIME goes by.

I am sure you did not get married because the two of you didn't love each other.

Positively during MLC he had no love.

The future, YOU get to write that and decide.

Oh I messed up the quote and there is no edit.
First line of quote should not be there.

During MLC they are incapable of love. I do not believe one minute that your ex did not love you. They are projecting their "unlovable" feelings about themselves. Don't buy into his rants, I won't let you.

I hear you here. Especially the colored part.
I believe I was convienent, confident, competant, and in the end that's what he wanted to be himself and I didn't serve his purposes anymore.

Sometimes I think I see some progress in X's behavior (in terms of him being more mature and showing an interest in D) but today was not one of those days.

I just do not think D is a priority to X. In one breath I hear that he is not up for this and that--then he is off on vacation, probably w/New Woman.

I find myself thinking some on what I would think if I were in New Woman's shoes. She is not OW because X was divorced when he met her. But does she wonder why X is going on vacation without his kid and without having vacation time WITH his kid?

Note to singles: It's a red flag if someone is willing to vacation with you but does not express any sort of desire to spend more time w/his or her kids.

He could be playing the victim to NW, saying that you are limiting access or something like that.

quite possibly, Being.

We are a lot less tense, but we are not really friends.

I was thinking that I haven't spoken w/X in a serious conversation for so long, I do not know who he is any more. I do not know if I would like him any more.

But...sometimes I still miss him. If that makes any sense.

Again, I am not sure I would ever be fully "over" him. There has been so much damage.

Otherwise, I have worked hard on myself and my life. I think I have created a nice life for D.

right there with you forward. I know I will never be the same. How could I be? But, hoping I come out better due to all of this.

Forward, I'm not sure your XH is able to carry on a serious conversation.
